A great way to find a great realtor!

By Richard Brown, Michigan, Verified Reviewer

I am very pleased with my experience with HomeLight. We were able to not only list our home with a qualified professional, our recommended realtor got an offer $20k higher than a previous realtor was willing to list for.

We were more than a transaction to the realtor they found for us.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We use HomeLight to find a realtor to help sell our home. We were referred good options and found one that totally met our guidelines.

It really helped to have various viable agents to make a choice as to who we wanted to use.

Our realtor, Mary, and her team were totally professional, smart, detailed, experienced, responsive and helped shepherd our property to the close.

Great experience

By Steven Rauschkolb, Chester, NJ, Verified Reviewer

When I first contacted HomeLight, I was a bit skeptical about the type of real estate agent that they might recommend. But I was quickly surprised when within 24 hours I began to receive calls from some very impressive, highly qualified agents.

After interviewing several agents, we finally settled on Denise Mortenson from Keller Williams in Morristown, New Jersey. Not only was Denise highly knowledgeable about our market, but it turned out that she had recently sold a home right on our street. Our entire experience with Denise was outstanding. She became our trusted adviser through all of the typical ups and downs of the sales process. Her excellent customer service and advice resulted in the sale of our home at just a fraction below asking price.

The bottom line is that by utilizing HomeLight, we found our dream agent who made the entire selling process much less stressful.

My experience with HomeLight

By Joseph Calabrese, Virginia, Verified Reviewer

We own an investment property just outside of Culpeper, Virginia. After the tenants left and the renovation work was complete, the next step was to find a realtor. I have to say we were very concerned about getting the house on the market so late in the calendar year, not to mention finding a qualified, successful realtor to market the property.

We heard about a referral service called HomeLight. They refer up to three of the most successful realtors (based on sales) where your property is located. We liked what we read about HomeLight, so I inquired about their services from their website.

Within hours, three realtors contacted me offering their services. I started with two of them; asking questions about their experience and sales success in our area. We agreed to "walk" the property to determine how they would market the property. Both realtors were very engaging and very successful in their own real estate careers. After the presentations were completed, we chose Amy Cherry Taylor.

This may sound rather incredible, but within eight days, we were under contract! She advised on a selling price and aggressively marketed the property. There were six, maybe eight showings, and then we received a signed contract. We were pleased that the contract reflected a price that was 96% of the listing price. Since Ms. Taylor brought a qualified buyer already approved for a mortgage to the table, we settled on the property 30 days later.

We were amazed and impressed that the transaction went so quickly but more importantly, went so smoothly. The next time I consider selling residential real estate, my first inquiry will be to HomeLight. Without HomeLight, I never would have found our realtor. They were outstanding and won't disappoint you.

Finding realtor with HomeLight

By Dong Liu, Syracuse, NY, Verified Reviewer

HomeLight has been extremely helpful in providing information of different realtors. Its platform is able to provide me with several choices of real estate agents and recommendations to select when I decided to sell my house.

The process is very easy as well. I just gave them the basic information, and based on that, they provided me with several top choices that are all great in their own form. After subsequently interviewing the candidates that I felt interested in, I found my real estate agent. With a combination of his expertise in marketing and recommendations for preparations, my house was sold very quickly with a price that I am very satisfied.

HomeLight played a critical role, in the beginning, to provide me with the information and data, so that I can pick the right agent for me, which resulted in a smooth real estate transaction for my family. Highly recommended!

HomeLight quickly connected me with the best agents

By Rebecca Holden, Marine City, MI, Verified Reviewer

HomeLight was a big help to me in selling my parents' house. I was given the names of three agents, all of whom called me within a couple hours after I contacted HomeLight. I was amazed at the fast service.

Two of the agents were available to meet with me in person immediately, and the third was not available for a few days. I chose to go with Phil Grosso and his agent, Becky Post, because of their enthusiasm and energy - they were excited about representing us and the attention and effort they gave us paid off.

I would recommend HomeLight's services to anyone looking for an agent, and I would gladly recommend Phil Grosso and his team to anyone buying or selling a house in the area.

Recommend

By Leah Campbell, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

When my husband and I found out he was offered a promotion in Rochelle, Illinois, we knew that we wanted to buy a house in the area. As potential first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start with the process. We wanted to make sure we selected a realtor that fit our needs but knew nobody in the area to help refer us to a good realtor. Thanks to HomeLight we were matched with a genuine and honest real estate agent who played a significant role in the home buying process.

Thank you HomeLight and your partners

By Mike Richins, Tucson, AZ, Verified Reviewer

When we decided to sell a rental property, I reached out to HomeLight since I did not know any realtors and we lived out of town and were limited what we could do. I did reach out to some local realtors as well as HomeLight, but the references provided by HomeLight were the only ones that followed through and returned calls.

The referred relator, Chris Craven with Realtor Executives, even went out of his way and provided us with recommendations on remodeling decisions before we even signed a contract with him, even though it was a low priced home without a significant commission. The home sold much quicker than we expected and we sold it more then what I thought we would get out of it.

Great experience thanks to HomeLight and Chris Craven.

Rude service from HomeLight employee

By Denice K Shafiee, Suffolk, VA, Verified Reviewer

After submitting my information and receiving a phone call from a HomeLight employee, I am not impressed at all. I simply asked her how HomeLight makes their commission and if realtors were chosen or paid for this selective service. She answered me but told me that I was hostile for asking questions. Then she proceeded to ask me personal questions, which I deemed unanswerable. She then angrily told me that I was not a match to be a client because I was combative. I have a $650,000.00 house that I wish to put up for sale. Please retrain your front line telephone employees who screen prospective clients.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Top Notch Experience

By Robert Misterka, Grafton, MA, Verified Reviewer

We had a very good experience with Homelight!

We were somewhat reluctant to contact Homelight because we were afraid that once we did we would be constantly hounded thereafter. That was NOT the case. We quickly received a cordial reply from the Homelight representative and were given two referrals for local real estate agents. We also received a single email from each of the referred agents.

We subsequently chose one of the referred agents who turned out to be excellent. Our agent was very competent and a pleasure to work with. We had tried to sell our home on two previous occasions without any results. This time was very different due the excellent broker that Homelight referred us to.

Bottom line was that our home was under contract within two weeks. We had an all around top notch experience selling our home. Thank you Homelight!

Fantastic service from HomeLight

By Leslie Scalzo, Southport, NC, Verified Reviewer

HomeLight is a wonderful service that matched me successfully with a realtor in the area I wanted to move to. This realtor (Lea Anne Werder of Coldwell Banker in Southport NC) was so helpful to me in finding the home that met my needs and desires. I really appreciate HomeLight service for putting me together with my realtor who has become a friend.

Thank you HomeLight!
