Stress-free home sale

By Tiffany, Lakeville, MN, Verified Reviewer

HomeLight helped make the process of selling our home less stressful by providing a list of potential realtors that would be a good fit for us. We met with a two different realtors and ended up choosing Jason because he seemed like a better fit for my husband and I. Without HomeLight's services I don't believe we would have been able to find a realtor so quickly as there are so many out there to choose from, nor would it have been such an uneventful experience! Jason and his team made the buying and selling process a breeze, and we're happy we were able to connect with him through these services!

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

Testimonial about service

By Timothy A. Jones, North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I would recommend HomeLight to anyone interested in selling their property. The service was extremely easy to use, and after answering a few questions, HomeLight promptly sent me information on three area agents. The agents were very responsive, and all contacted me within one hour of my submission to HomeLight. We scheduled interviews with all three and chose Mr. Gregory as our agent. We could not have been more pleased with the service we received from HomeLight and the agent we selected.

HomeLight.com works

By Arthur Huber, California, Verified Reviewer

I was up late one night watching HGTV when I first saw the HomeLight.com commercial. I debated a few days about filling out the information online because I figured it would only lead to me getting many unwanted calls and emails. Well, a few days later I submitted my information on HomeLight.com and received a call within about 5 minutes. I was asked a few questions and I asked a few questions. That's all it took before three realtors called me. It was a simple and painless process.

Quickly provided me with a selection of qualified realtors

By JM Young, Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

HomeLight provided an invaluable service for me. As an out-of-state seller, I did not know any local realtors or real estate market. HomeLight connected me quickly and easily with realtors in the local area. HomeLight also gave me background information about each realtor so I could make an informed decision. I ended up selecting a wonderful realtor. She had a very firm understanding of the local real estate market, and her sage guidance helped us sell the home quickly and smoothly.

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

Great for investors

By Cathy M., Florida, Verified Reviewer

We had a great experience with HomeLight. As out of town investors, we didn't know many agents in Ann Arbor. HomeLight helped us get in contact with several top agents, we interviewed and picked the one that best met our needs, and were able to close in under 45 days, all without ever needing to get on a plane or go out of our way.

Quick response, personal

By Barbara Poole, Converse, TX, Verified Reviewer

I was attempting to help my elderly parents get a real estate agent to help sell their home. I just happened to submit a note asking for some information, and within a few minutes, I got a call personally letting me know my request was received and that within a day or two I would be getting email information regarding three potential agents who might help us sell the home. HomeLight was correct; I did get an email, and in fact, several of the agents contacted me personally before I had a chance to call them from the email profiles I received.

This was a very pleasant and FAST service. I did end up going with one of the suggested agents, and they sold their house in about 60-70 days. FANTASTIC!

HomeLight made selling my home quick and easy

By Kimberlee Driggers, Bogart, GA, Verified Reviewer

I was extremely pleased with HomeLight and would highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home. I typed in my information and immediately received my top three recommendations for realtors.

Justin Woodall contacted me immediately, and we set up an appointment to meet. I have never sold a home before and was unfamiliar with the process. Justin was very experienced and knowledgeable. He researched home sales in our area and gave helpful suggestions on how improvements/repairs would affect our selling price. Justin received a full price, cash offer on my house in three days before my house was even listed on the market! We closed on the sale 18 days after my first meeting with Justin.

Thanks, HomeLight, for connecting me with Justin Woodall and for making the process of selling my home so easy!

HomeLight is a lead generation service for agents

By Brian S., Richmond, VA, Verified Reviewer

When I began my home search, I came across HomeLight. After interviewing a few different agents, it became clear that the agents I found on HomeLight were not "experts" and or did not even have any prior sales or experience in my desired area. After meeting with a couple of agents NOT on HomeLight, I realized that any good agent in my metro area has just as much access to the market and was just as experienced and qualified as those who were found on HomeLight.

Basically, HomeLight is another of many lead generation services designed to generate business for real estate agents who pay to be on their site, much like Zillow or Trulia or Realtor.com. The agents on this site are not necessarily the top-rated agents in their area, but instead, have just paid to be listed on HomeLight and bought a zip code. This seems pretty disingenuous, and their marketing is misleading. I'm not saying that there are not any agents that are experienced/knowledgeable in a certain area, because I am sure that plenty of good agents have paid for their leads on the site, but what I have found is that just because an agent is on the site doesn't mean they actually ARE an expert in any area of the market.

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

Company Response from HomeLight, Inc.

Jan 8, 2018

Hi Brian, We're sorry you had a bad experience with our agent matching service. We only recommend agents at the top of the field, and this is based on their actual transaction history. Agents cannot pay to be featured on our site, which keeps our recommendations for top local agents completely objective.

HomeLight provided us with more than one great choice

By Barbara Kiser, Bellevue, WA, Verified Reviewer

I contacted HomeLight when we were getting ready to sell our home in Bellevue, in order to downsize to a smaller place nearby. I met with two of the agents HomeLight recommended for us, along with a Redfin agent my daughter had worked with. Both of the HomeLight agents were well qualified and extremely professional. They knew my neighborhood and price range. They each had a slightly different approach to preparation for sale and pricing, but both made a lot of sense. Dan Edwards, in particular, did a great job of follow up regarding the properties available in our new target neighborhood as well.

Dan helped us qualify the houses we were interested in buying and helped us put together a winning purchase offer. We then had him help us get our Bellevue home on the market. He connected us with Zemek Design, who managed the process of prepping and staging our home for sale. Dan was available for questions and advice throughout this process. Dan met with us to discuss listing price more than once, each time updating us on the most recent market statistics and their impact on our sale.

Once our listing went live, we accepted an offer exceeding our expectations within 48 hours. The most interesting part is that the buyer's agent was the other realtor we had met with from HomeLight! So clearly HomeLight was right on target with their recommendations for us and our neighborhood.

Overall I highly recommend the HomeLight service and would definitely use it again if I ever need to find a new agent.

Best choice is HomeLight

By Donald Campbell, Concord, CA, Verified Reviewer

As administrator of my deceased father’s estate, one night I lay awake wondering how I was going to sell Dad’s condo, so I sat up in bed and turned on the bed light and the laptop and typed into Google Search “How to find a great realtor in Concord California 94521”.

Within seconds I had three interesting referral choices in front of me: first was HomeLight, second was Top Agents Ranked, and third was Endorsed Local Providers. I reached out to all three before turning off the laptop and the bed light to finally get some rested sleep. When I awoke a few hours later, there were referrals to three agents and brokers from each referral service for a total of nine possibilities in my email.

After reviewing each referral service’s candidates, I chose HomeLight because I liked their presentation and the candidates they chose for me the most, so I interviewed HomeLight’s top two candidates on a Friday morning at Dad’s condo and made up my mind over the weekend.

We had the condo listed on a Sunday and the property sold quickly within a week and escrow was also a breeze thanks to teamwork from a reputable realtor who I couldn’t have found without HomeLight. Thank you HomeLight! And thanks to Renee White and her Keller-Williams Team who provided competent and trustworthy service for a quick Sale of Real Estate while in probate.

HomeLight will save you time when sorting through all available realtors

By Amanda Rang, Belton, TX, Verified Reviewer

Without the services provided by HomeLight, my home may very well still be on the market. Inspired by social media and other enlightened mass communications, HomeLight hones in on the up and coming (and savvy established) realtors who put in the footwork to get your home sold. HomeLight matched me with several top realtors, and my realtor was the cream of the crop! HomeLight has a vast database and can suit your needs. Thank you HomeLight!
