HomeLight was so helpful in the sale of my mother's home after her passing. Thank you for making a difficult decision worry free.

HomeLight was very easy! Within just a few hours I had been contacted by a company, and we went with that realtor. He was amazing!

Within hours of providing HomeLight with my contact information, I was contacted by two agents from the list they provided. Both subsequently came by my home and made their 'pitch'. I'll never know if I made the best choice, but my house sold in 19 days!

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Bessemer?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Bessemer housing market but we generally recommend that you hire a real estate agent as soon as you're thinking of selling your home. Generally speaking, that's anywhere from 3 to 6 months prior to your desired move date.
How important is it to hire a top real estate agent in Bessemer?
On average, the top performing 5% of seller's agents generally command a higher selling price (+9%) than the average real estate agent. The top performing 5% of buyer's agents generally save their clients 2.5% more than the average real estate agent at closing. So, whether you're buying or selling your house, your odds of making more money on the transaction are higher if you work with a top performing agent. We encourage you to explore all of your options if you're selling a house in Bessemer, AL.
Why do I need to hire a licensed real estate agent in Bessemer?
Always ensure you’re working with a trained, accredited real estate professional. That's the best way to protect you and your property. Every listing agent should be prepared to deliver proof of their license to sell in your area.
