I had tried to sell my house 3 times. I went onto HomeLight and was matched with an agent right away. My house sold in 5 days! It's a wonderful service. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!

HomeLight suggested the top three agents in the area based on what we were looking for. We went with our top pick and couldn’t have been happier! Every first-time home buyer should use HomeLight.

This was the first time I have ever went through the process of selling my home. HomeLight made it super easy and recommended an amazing realtor who sold my home on the first showing.

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Forest Hills?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Forest Hills 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.

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.

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.
