HomeLight provided me the best realtor we could ask for. We ended up choosing the top match for us and selling our home faster than we thought we would.

Homelight sent us several realtors to choose from. This helped us find the right realtor to help us sell our house quickly and to get us the most money.

HomeLight was instrumental in the sale of my home. Our referred agent got us an offer over list price the first weekend after listing. I highly recommend HomeLight and would certainly use them again.

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Detroit?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Detroit 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 Detroit?
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.
Why do I need to hire a licensed real estate agent in Detroit?
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.
What is the average real estate agent commission for agents in Detroit?
While individual real estate agent commissions do vary, most real estate agents in Detroit work for 6% of the home price.

HomeLight analyzes all real estate agents in Detroit to bring you custom, unbiased, data-driven recommendations. We use actual home sales transaction data to compare Detroit real estate agents and will only introduce you to the top performing agents.
Do these Detroit real estate agents work for HomeLight?
No. All of the real estate agents you see on HomeLight.com are unaffiliated with us. They do not pay to advertise on our site and we do not pay to list them. That's how we keep our recommendations objective.
