The quality of the real estate agent that HomeLight referred me to was exceptional. As a first time seller, I knew nothing about the real estate market, and this referral walked me through every aspect of the process.
Rob S
HomeLight was very helpful in narrowing down the field of Realtors to choose from and importantly, giving an idea of the data and methodology behind the recommendations so I could feel confident in them.
Harry G
We were very happy with the Realtor that HomeLight recommended. We are new to the area so it was nice to have someone experienced and full of tips about the different towns.
