I was extremely happy with HomeLight's service. HomeLight... provided 2 extremely well qualified real estate agents. We felt we could not loose with either of them. The agent we chose was wonderful and went above and beyond. We sold in 3 days

We're so relieved that the whole house-buying process is complete. We went with HomeLight at the beginning of it because we... needed a great, reliable agent working for us. Made the entire process so much easier. Thank you Homelight for your help!

I would like to thank you for finding my local real estate agent. Within a week, we had multiple offers at a substantially higher price. We ended up selling the home to a buyer with an all cash offer and we were able to close very quickly.

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Chester?

On average, the top performing 5% of seller's agents generally command a higher selling price (+9%) than the average real estate agent.

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 Chester, NY.
