Homelight was instrumental in selling my home in Cheboygan and finding a new home in Saginaw. The agents Homelight suggested were all quick to react and call me. I am completely satisfied with the realtor who sold my house, Geno D'Angelo. He was very professional and the photography and video of my house was just amazing. I sold my house much quicker than I thought possible. The realtor who helped me find my new house was Justin Bellinger. He was just fantastic. It was like talking with an old friend. He showed me many houses and came up with the perfect home. I downsized to make life easier and he found the right home for me. I highly recommend Homelight to make a very stressful event much more enjoyable.

We used homelight to get in contact with a realtor for our first home buying experience. I can't recommend Homelight and Cameron John enough if you are in the Oklahoma area. Fantastic job!

Working with Drew and Christine and their team made our home buying and selling experience such a breeze! They had great knowledge of the area market and process. We even referred my in-laws to them.

HomeLight made a decent offer on my parents home and everything was fine until I mentioned that my parents were under contract for their new house so it was all going to work out great. Then, two days before closing they sent out a contractor to see how much it would cost them to "raise the foundation" which had settled since the house was built. Which my parents had already had an engineer look at and report that there was no significance to the settling and that it was causing no structural damage… well the result of their idea ended up that they wanted us to lower the price by over $18,000 less than 24 hours before closing to make the foundation like new again… most people can't afford to carry two mortgages and would have no choice but to accept the new terms and continue with the closing, however my parents are much more fortunate and refused…so HomeLight cancelled the deal…. This is their standard procedure, we were warned of it by my dad's attorney who deals a lot in real estate but we decided to give it a try anyway since we would not have to clean the house or paint it, etc…. But now we see. Do not waste your time with them, it may…no, it WILL cost you in the end. I will say, everyone except the last guy who was only interested in trying to tell us there was a problem with the house, which there isn't. All this when they are already paying about 70% of market value of the home. A quick flip since my dad already paid to have most of the repairs and painting done.

Finally a sale
January 24, 2020

After having our beautiful house on the market off and on for 4.5 years, we heard about HOMELIGHT and contacted them. Our realtor, Lisa Jackson was persistent and finally landed a sale. We are so pleased to finally be "downsized " and can move one. Thanks HOMELIGHT.

The agent that Homelight helped me find - the Kevin Corcoran Team (Re/MAX of Gulf Shores, AL) - turned 8out to be great. The process was very user-friendly, Homelight followed up with me several times to ensure I was happy with my selection, and once the sale of our home was completed, Homelight followed up again to congratulate us on the sale. I recommend Homelight without reservation. If you're looking for a real estate agent, Homelight's service is an excellent way to find one!

I am amazed at how quickly and easily my home sold after I contacted Homelight. I had a second home that needed to be sold, but I didn't look forward to the hassle of listing and selling it. My daughter had told me about Homelight, so one evening I went to Homelight to check it out. Almost immediately I received a listing of suggested agents. Within an hour I got a call from an agent, Teresa Points, who was not on the list (my house was slightly outside her primary area) who was eager to meet me and see the house. We met the next morning at the house. She was prepared with comps and a potential buyer. I was impressed with her optimism and professionalism. By that afternoon she brought me an offer that was close to her estimate. She taught us how to "sign" documents via the internet and made the sale of the house the easiest I've ever experienced.

Homelight contacted me to make sure I had found a realtor and that things were going smoothly. I would certainly use Homelight again and recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property. I DO recommend that you contact multiple agents on the suggested list.

Guest Realty New Mexico
February 6, 2020

I did write a review but do not see it. I would not use any realtor from this site. She was purely political and was rude and insulting. She demanded to know why I had nine realtors from 2013 to 2019, have an vacant acre and have a house on an acre each I have listed separately. I asked her for the names of the realty companies she was referring to since it was not my history. She refused to give me the nine she was alleging I had used. I felt as if I had to explain myself to her, very disrespectful. She has high sales but my opinion of realtors with high sales is they sell under price homes. When I sent her an email asking again for the nine she was referring to so I could check the history for any future realtor contacts she threatened me saying she would report me for harassment. Really, quite a player, Obviously talked to last realtor who had referred unlicensed felons to do work and damaged my home and then brought low ball offer on my acre. I refused to negotiate, and she got angry and resigned. Something strange as thread of texts and email file disappeared, then comes this one from HomeLight with insults. She seemed upset when I told her the realtors partner who does unlicensed home upgrades and had three assault felonies, one with a deadly weapon, suspect she hired him to do some work. The attitude just too out of the blue. So who knows what goes on behind the scenes. I am 77 and do not deserve to be badgered. Do not like the idea that you give credit for good reports for your referrals. Not getting undeserved recommendations. Numbers do not tell the tale.

After several very disappointing experiences with local realtors in years gone by, when it came time to sell our home where we had lived for ten years, my wife and I decided to check out HomeLight after hearing an ad for the service. After all, what did we have to lose? We received an immediate response from HomeLight with profiles of local realtors who come highly recommended. We chose Jennifer King because of her experience with properties in our immediate area which has notoriously been out of step with the rest of the country. Wow! We were blown away by her competence, personal attention, and especially her responsiveness in communicating immediately with us whenever we had a question. Within three days we had two great offers which were far beyond our expectation. Of course we chose one of them and the process from there on in was every bit as smooth to settlement with Jennifer at the helm. Kudos to HomeLight for helping us find a top-notch agent like Jennifer. We certainly would recommend HomeLight to anyone and everyone buying or selling real estate.

Sincerely,
Roger L. And Phyllis Wambold

Worst experience ever
August 31, 2019

Reluctantly I filled out the form online only to be contacted by five different realtors who asked me again what I was looking for wasn't that the whole purpose of me filling out my criteria do you guys even vet the people that you recommend it doesn't seem that way it seemed like they wanted me to spend time chit-chatting with five different realtors to find out who I thought would be the best fit but I thought that that's why I went online to HomeLight. And then this industry wonders why they cut each other's throats when there's absolutely no loyalty it should strictly be the person that contacted me first that I feel like is confident I give them a shot and if for some reason I don't feel like there are a good fit then I could seek out the help from somebody else I don't want five different people running up my search criteria and wasting all of their time and my own you guys totally missed the mark on this one a complete waste of time.

This review is about HomeLight Simple Sale product. Their team members can't agree on the process. Every person tells you something different about how it should work. They made an offer on my home and wanted me to sign the deed over to them and have it recorded a month before paying me for it! Then they changed their tune after I threatened to report their deceptive practices to the Department of Insurance. After that they decided to charge me closing fees and HOA docs fee on top of me giving them a 10% concession on the price. They do not put earnest money in escrow and they also use their in-house escrow so that they control whether you get paid or not. Escrow is supposed to be an independent unbiased third party to ensure integrity. Not the case with HomeLight, who is the buyer and also the escrow company, so they take your deed and record it, and become the owner, but whether they pay you for your property or not is uncertain because they are not a legitimate third party, but rather a department of their company under the same umbrella. They also tie you up in a contract so that once you realize they are trying to defraud you and try to get out of it, they slap you with all kinds of penalties for not going through with it.

He who has the most $ wins and Homelight and their STINKY TV ads have a ton of dough. They are a bunch of vultures. Do NOT use them! Plus there are ZERO Google reviews about Homelight! Which tells YOU they do NOT want Google reviews. So there they are!

I am on the East Coast and my father is on the West Coast, I found HomeLight on a Sunday morning and within hours I had at least 8 Californian realtors contacting me. I went with Mason P from Wheeler Steffen Sotheby's, he fit my fathers needs and was very easy to work with. I would not have had the opportunity to work with Mason if it had not been for HomeLight.

Initial call
April 9, 2020

I responded to one of their emails, saying that they would estimate the value of my home, After I entered all of my info, they responded with a span of $195K to $351K! Then when I got a call from them, I told them I didn't want calls from them anymore (if she wouldve of asked why, I would have told her because here company is deceptive in their marketing) She said don't fill out the estimate form again if I don't want calls,. Then hung up on me!

I don't know what part of "I CHANGED MY MIND & DECIDED TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE SO PLEASE STOP CALLING MY HOUSE BECAUSE YOU WILL ONLY BE WASTING YOUR TIME & MINE" that they don't understand but OMG they just will not STOP CALLING MY HOUSE! If & when I do sell or buy, I will NOT go through these people because they obviously don't LISTEN!
