Legal ProceedingsFrom time to time the Company is involved in litigation, claims and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. This litigation and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to employment law, independent contractor misclassification, intellectual property, commercial or contractual claims, brokerage or real estate disputes, claims related to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, or other consumer protection statutes, ordinary-course brokerage disputes like the failure to disclose property defects, commission disputes, and vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of the Company's control, including partner agents and third-party contractor agents. Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Often these cases raise complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to risks and uncertainties and could require significant management time and resources.

Facility Leases and Other Commitments—The Company leases its office space under noncancelable operating leases with terms ranging from one to 11 years. Generally, the leases require a fixed minimum rent with contractual minimum rent increases over the lease term, and certain leases include escalation provisions. Rent expense totaled $1,974 and $1,679 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $3,844 and $4,325 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other commitments primarily relate to network infrastructure for the Company’s data operations. Also included are homes that the Company is under contract to purchase through Redfin Now but that have not closed. Future minimum payments due under these agreements as of June 30, 2018 are as follows:

Mortgage Warehouse and Master Repurchase AgreementsIn December 2016, Redfin Mortgage entered into a Mortgage Warehouse Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“Texas Capital”), and in June 2017, Redfin Mortgage entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement with Western Alliance Bank. Pursuant to each of the Mortgage Warehouse Agreement and Master Repurchase Agreement, Texas Capital and Western Alliance Bank, respectively, agree to fund loans originated by Redfin Mortgage, in its discretion, up to $10,000 and to take a security interest in such loans. The per annum interest rate payable to Texas Capital is a fixed rate equal to the rate of interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the loan, minus 1.5%, or 3.0%, whichever is higher. The per annum interest rate payable to Western Alliance Bank is a fixed rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 3.00%, or 3.75%, whichever is higher. For each loan in which Texas Capital elects to purchase a participation interest, it will acquire an undivided 97% participation interest, by paying as the purchase price an amount equal to the participation interest multiplied by the principal balance of the loan. For each loan in which Western Alliance Bank elects to purchase, it will acquire an undivided 98% participation interest, by paying as the purchase price an amount equal to the participation interest multiplied by the principal balance of the loan. If a loan is not sold to a correspondent lender, Texas Capital and Western Alliance Bank's participation interests in the loans are to be repurchased in whole or in part by Redfin Mortgage. The Company has guaranteed Redfin Mortgage’s obligations under the Mortgage Warehouse and Master Repurchase Agreements.

The Mortgage Warehouse Agreement and Master Repurchase Agreements require each of the Company and Redfin Mortgage to maintain certain financial covenants and to provide periodic financial and compliance reports. Redfin Mortgage failed to satisfy certain financial covenants contained in the Mortgage Warehouse Agreement as of June 30, 2018, but Texas Capital has not enforced its remedies under the Mortgage Warehouse Agreement. As of June 30, 2018 there was $2,225 outstanding under the Mortgage Warehouse Agreement and $1,266 outstanding on the Master Repurchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2017 there was $833 outstanding under the Mortgage Warehouse Agreement and $1,184 outstanding on the Master Repurchase Agreement. The Mortgage Warehouse Agreement expires on March 22, 2019 and the Master Repurchase Agreement expires on August 14, 2018.
