HomeLight was excellent in finding a real estate agent to sell our home, which took only 4 days! They offered various agents, all of which were top agents in our area. We couldn’t have been happier!

I had a home that I couldn't sell for 10 years. I decided to try HomeLight and chose the first agent they provided. My home sold immediately! If I sell another home, I will definitely call HomeLight.
Cynthia B
I was thrilled with the service Homelight provided. Within 10 minutes of logging into the site, I had 3 real estate agents calling me about listing my home. I was very happy and would use them again.

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Santa Maria?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Santa Maria 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 Santa Maria?
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 Santa Maria?
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 Santa Maria?
While individual real estate agent commissions do vary, most real estate agents in Santa Maria work for 6% of the home price.

Do these Santa Maria real estate agents work for HomeLight?
