HomeLight was instrumental in the sale of my home. Our referred agent got us an offer over list price the first weekend after listing. I highly recommend HomeLight and would certainly use them again.

HomeLight made it extremely easy to navigate the world on Realtors and pick the correct one the first time. Next time I buy or sell a house I will definitely be using Homelight to find my Realtor.

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!

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Somerville?
It's going to depend on the temperature of the Somerville 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 Somerville?
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 Somerville?
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.

While individual real estate agent commissions do vary, most real estate agents in Somerville work for 6% of the home price.
