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.

My husband and I decided to sell our house after living in it for 30 years. I would highly recommend Homelight to anyone that's not sure where to start. Thank you HomeLight for being there for us.

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.
