I received a call right away and talked to an actual person. My request to only receive two referrals was honored as I did not want to be inundated with calls from agents. Within days we met with Linda and the house sold in one week. I would definitely recommend Homelight to others.

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

How important is it to hire a top real estate agent in Portland?
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 home, 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 home in Portland, OR.

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.
