When my wife and I contacted HomeLight for help in finding a Realtor, they were in touch almost immediately. We interviewed 3, all were very professional. We found a good fit and the house sold in 9 days.

Realtors can claim anything, but the objective data that HomeLight collects on number of homes sold, price range, and time period, are facts that cannot be challenged.

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Monterey?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Monterey 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 Monterey?
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. We encourage you to explore all of your options if you're selling a house in Monterey, CA.
Why do I need to hire a licensed real estate agent in Monterey?
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.

While individual real estate agent commissions do vary, most real estate agents in Monterey work for 6% of the home price.
