We had a great experience with HomeLight. We chose one of the referred agents who turned out to be excellent. The bottom line is that our home was under contract within two weeks. Thank you HomeLight!

I had been trying to sell my house for a few years, but despaired at my ability to pick out a real estate agent on my own. Using HomeLight, I quickly found an agent that was a real go-getter. He sold our house higher than the listing price in only eight days. Finding a great agent made all the difference!

We have demanding schedules and HomeLight was able to connect us with an agent who was flexible to work within our availability and time frames. If you’re searching for a realtor, I highly recommend HomeLight to help you find the best one for you!
