But, I will address your questions. Deborah listed the home at a higher price and the buyer was represented by a different brokerage company.

This is the second time I have listed a house that had been listed with Redfin for months and for which we received and offer in a couple days.

Redfin had a different business model back then. As mentioned previously, I took a tour of Redfin's office a few weeks and got to meet its CEO Glenn Kelman and a number of other high-profile employees. I hope I get invited back when they move to their new digs in the Dexter Horton Building. I've been to a number of Redfin listed properties and they've done a great job consulting and preparing their sellers. I think what this shows, though, is that it takes much more than listing a property on the MLS to market it properly and get it sold, which can be said for other agents/companies as well. Listings expire/cancel daily and are often re-listed with a different agent, so this isn't uncommon. It's just a little ironic in context with the 60 Minutes segment.
