HomeLight provided us with an outstanding real estate agent... She helped us through every step of the house-selling process. The closing was not too early, or too late -- it was just right. Very happy.

I was extremely happy with HomeLight's service. HomeLight... provided 2 extremely well qualified real estate agents. We felt we could not loose with either of them. The agent we chose was wonderful and went above and beyond. We sold in 3 days

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 Rochester, NY.
