I had contacted HomeLight as a way to obtain names of suitable, knowledgeable, local realtors for my parents to contact regarding the sale of their home of 42 years. I knew that it was going to be difficult, as this was essentially the first time that they were to go through this process, and with a property that was very near and dear to their hearts. I wanted the opportunity to pre-screen the realtors that were recommended to take some of the burdens off of my parents.

HomeLight was able to provide several names and numbers, and all of the suggested realtors reached out to me, and then later to my parents once they were ready to embark on the sale of their home. All of the realtors recommended through the service were quite good (knowledgeable about the area, market, etc.). They even provided very specific details that proved they REALLY knew the details about the town, that they were local and speaking from personal experience. They respected my request to not contact my parents until my parents reached out to them, as they were still waffling on the whole idea of moving.

I was afraid sales pressure would really send them over the edge, ensuring that they'd never want to move.

Ultimately, their selected realtor was able to assist them through one very difficult negotiation with a tentative buyer, and later with a smooth sale with another. She listened to their concerns, and stood strong, allowing a potential sale to pass at the cost to her so that the "right" buyer could come along. In addition, she assisted them with the purchase of their new home, with which they are very happy.
