We used the HomeLight system to find the perfect listing agent to sell our home in Portland Oregon. HomeLight was so easy to use!

Homelight was a great experience. The recommended agents came prepared to discuss our home's value and what we would be able to sell it for. If we ever sell another house, we'll use HomeLight again!

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Salem?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Salem 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 Salem?
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.
Why do I need to hire a licensed real estate agent in Salem?
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.
What is the average real estate agent commission for agents in Salem?
While individual real estate agent commissions do vary, most real estate agents in Salem work for 6% of the home price.

Why should I use HomeLight to find a Salem real estate agent?
HomeLight analyzes all real estate agents in Salem to bring you custom, unbiased, data-driven recommendations. We use actual home sales transaction data to compare Salem real estate agents and will only introduce you to the top performing agents.
Do these Salem real estate agents work for HomeLight?
No. All of the real estate agents you see on HomeLight.com are unaffiliated with us. They do not pay to advertise on our site and we do not pay to list them. That's how we keep our recommendations objective.

We compare real estate agents on a variety of data points in their transaction history.
