ouch. sorry to hear that. I'm not anti innovation at all but using generic online stuff definitely puts you at a disadvantage in most markets. Redfin, Rocket Mortgage I know there are a bunch of others. When its really competitive as in Boston, online approvals or other type of widget brokerages are a real disadvantage. I know of brokers who routinely screen out online pre-approvals for sought after properties. Might change in a down market but I doubt it. Real estate is really 'sticky' and brokers protect their turf well, and its not just self interest. They want to deal with agents known to close etc.
