HomeLight

Leesburg, Florida.

On August 29, 2017 I started an internet research for homes for sale in 2018 to get an idea on competitive pricing. The HomeLight website caught my attention because it amalgamated realtor sales for Bethesda, Maryland. I had been trying to rent my home, but I was competing with 20 other homes in my narrow zip code, i.e., feeding into the top rated three Montgomery public schools in my neighborhood. I needed a realtor who could both “rent” or “sell” my property. I was released without penalty by the Rental Management Company I had signed on with in July.

Email responses and phone calls from HomeLight.com started immediately. I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative of their market research. Four specific companies were sent to me, and I received calls from all of them. At that time, I wasn’t ready to make any decisions, because we were still packing, preparing the movers to take our furniture to Florida on September 6th. Two of the four recommendations were for the Wydler Brothers, and different members of their Teams had called to introduce themselves, but I had no time to meet with anyone.

The movers came at 6:30 am on September 6th and were finished by 10 am. The Maids of Bethesda arrived in the afternoon, to clean my house. Eric Brooks, a Wydler Brothers realtor, called to say he’d be in my neighborhood that afternoon, and could he just stop by to meet me in person? Tired and disheveled, sitting on a stair step, I said, “ok, but we have no furniture.”

Eric arrived around 4 pm and I felt very comfortable with his presentation and plan of action, IF I decided to hire his company. He followed up with email notes after our move to Leesburg, Florida (September 16th) and later we had some phone conversations. I signed the Wydler Brothers contract in October, he had a signed contract from a buyer in November, and the settlement date was January 9, 2018.

HomeLight gets all the credit for putting us together. Eric and his team carried the ball! They wrote a great ad copy, had a professional photographer illustrate my house for multiple listing websites, held Open Houses and did whatever had to be done to sell my home.

I’d recommend HomeLight; it allows the seller to jump into the realty game with all guns blazing!

P.S. One of the other HomeLight recommended agents called me a lot, sent info, and when I offered a last-minute face-to-face meeting after Eric left, he said he couldn’t see me on such short notice. I told him to stop calling, that if I wanted to move forward, I would call him. A few weeks later, he left a voice message saying “Hey Marjorie, this is ___.” Honest mistake, but I wasn’t interested.

Using HomeLight was easy and effective. I called HomeLight, and a representative answered. They asked me a few questions and then told me that they would send some highly rated and effective realtors to my email shortly. It did not take very long, and I had two realtors in my email box to choose from. There was no hassle, no realtors calling you. You decide who to call and when.

I interviewed them both and choose my realtor, Chris Mihajlovich. We had an offer in two weeks above my price I told Chris I wanted. He took care of everything. Turning on and off the heat. I live in Florida, and the house we sold was in Indiana. Great experience and I recommend them.

I had a most amazing experience using HomeLight’s realtor referral services.

It’s rare that current service providers deliver on their stated promises and mission statement. HomeLight’s exclusive realtor referral services far exceeded my expectations.

HomeLight provided a list of qualified realtors, and after several interviews, I narrowed my search down to two of the top realtors in my area.

I met with both realtors and chose Keller Realtors because Chuck Hill believed in my vision of selling my house and using prompt, professional, and expedient services sold my home well in advance my expectant time frame.

I was more than satisfied with the entire process.

Thank you so much HomeLight!

I was a first-time homebuyer and very new in the market so didn’t know where to find a good real estate agent. While I was browsing, I came across with HomeLight, which was a user-friendly site, and within a few hours of creating an account, Sarah reached out by phone to know more about my purchase needs. Based on that information she was able to send me an email with the reference of real estate agents who fit my needs the best and sure Jacqueline Dix was a reference from HomeLight. I greatly appreciate this firm’s help to find me a right house.

We used HomeLight to find a good "selling" realtor in the area of the house we just rehabbed. The Realtor we found through HomeLight sold the house in 6 weeks at an acceptable price. This allowed us to focus on the upcoming projects vs. the sales effort of the completed project.

HomeLight provided a very prompt reply, which provided us with 3 agents who fit the criteria we were looking for in selling our home.

We were able to meet each agent and decided on the one we best felt would allow us to sell our home for maximum value.

The value in HomeLight providing the vetting was incalculable. We are very happy with the service provided by HomeLight.

The HomeLight website was easy to navigate around. The agent matching was excellent. I was very happy with their website and agreed with what they had to say, for example, how fast a home sells with an experienced agent. I would recommend HomeLight to anyone wanting to sell a home in Austin or the nearby surrounding areas. I was so glad to find their website it made selling a house easy.

The service that HomeLight provided was a tremendous help to myself and my wife as first time home sellers. HomeLight was able to match our specific situation and needs to a selection of local realtors and remove a lot of the legwork from the selection process. The realtors that HomeLight recommended were knowledgeable in our local market and our final agent selection did come to that initial recommendation. Thanks again.

After having worked with a couple of realtors in my area with less than ideal experiences in the past, I heard an ad for HomeLight on the radio and decided to give it a shot. The process was very quick and easy and, within minutes I had a list of realtors. I reached out to the first realtor on the list and scheduled an appointment. The realtor met with me and gave me some recommendations on things I could do to increase the likelihood of a quick sale of my home.

My house went on the market on the afternoon of November 28th. That evening I received a call from the realtor telling me that we had a full price offer from the first person who looked at the house! We closed on the house a few weeks ago, and I couldn’t be happier!

HomeLight came up in a search I did when I was tired of my lazy, inexperienced realtor and was surfing, looking for a new realtor who would have a specific expertise (condos) and a good amount of solid experience getting his clients good deals. HomeLight was very easy to use, I just answered a few simple questions (if I remember correctly it was things like what type of home am I shopping for, how long have I been looking, am I a first-time buyer, in what location am I shopping, etc.). Very quickly and very easily I was connected with a great new realtor who fit the specifications I was searching for!

I was thankful not to have to go the trial and error route because I had already started to experience how messy hiring and firing lazy realtors can get, especially when the market is so hot and so many are lazy. HomeLight helped me avoid awkward conversations and having to repeat my story to a million different people. I'd definitely recommend finding a realtor by using HomeLight!

We want to thank HomeLight for leading us in the right direction to find the perfect realtor to sell our home. We finally feel like we had the right realtor on our side.

After interviewing at least six realtors, we ended up going with the realtor that HomeLight recommended, Matt Tibbetts of Team Forss. We immediately liked him when we met him and were impressed by his experience and felt like he and his team would work the hardest to sell our time. And, they did! We were astounded at how quickly and easily we were able to get our home sold, and we are very appreciative that we were able to get the full asking price.

Without HomeLight recommending Matt Tibbetts, we would not have had such a successful experience as we did selling this home. Matt far outranks any other realtor that we have ever used to buy or sell a home!

Thank you HomeLight!
