I would like to thank you for finding my local real estate agent. Within a week, we had multiple offers at a substantially higher price. We ended up selling the home to a buyer with an all cash offer and we were able to close very quickly.

I would highly recommend HomeLight to anyone looking for a Realtor. I was very pleased by the relators HomeLight recommended. HomeLight did all the work of finding the realtor for me and made selling my house that much easier.

The home sold in less than a week, to our complete surprise, and received two offers that were above asking price. This was well above anything we expected. HomeLight's service had a very helpful initial role in making this happen.
