HomeLight was excellent in finding a real estate agent to sell our home, which took only 4 days! They offered various agents, all of which were top agents in our area. We couldn’t have been happier!

I had a home that I couldn't sell for 10 years. I decided to try HomeLight and chose the first agent they provided. My home sold immediately! If I sell another home, I will definitely call HomeLight.
Cynthia B
Both of the agents that HomeLight recommended were well-qualified, and I could not be happier with the agent I chose!

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

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.
