I would recommend HomeLight to anyone needing to find a realtor as they allowed me to see many different realtors and what they offered. Without Homelight I don't know if I would have found a great realtor group as easily.

HomeLight came up in a search I did when I was tired of my lazy, inexperienced Realtor and was surfing looking for a new Realtor who would have a specific expertise... I'd definitely recommend finding a Realtor by using HomeLight.

We were very pleased with your referral. The agent and her team were excellent...[they] worked tirelessly to sell our home. HomeLight was the key! This does not happen often in life and I am pleased with how this transaction proceeded and concluded.
