We found our buyer's agent for our cross-country move to Denver through Homelight. Homelight made finding a good agent easy for us in a city we hadn't lived in over 30 years. The site was fast, easy to use, and we received a list of potential agents to choose from quickly. I had nice conversations with the two agents I called that the service recommended and we chose one. She turned out to be very energetic and knowledgeable and willing to show us lots of homes early on. She also provided sound advice in terms of making offers and helped us secure a very nice home.

HomeLight was a fantastic asset for us when we sold our home. We originally listed our recently built home with the first agent we spoke with, which ended up being a big mistake. After 7-months on market with little interest, we contacted HomeLight to get recommendations on agents who could get the job done. We called three agents, and instantly knew who we wanted to relist with. The process was seamless and all agents were fantastic. Our new agent relisted out house within a week, and we received three competing offers within the next 5 days. The sale price of our home ended up being above list, and the closing process was quick and easy. I would recommend anyone selling a home to first do their research via HomeLight.

When we decided to downsize I wasn't sure how to select a realtor. It can be daunting to find just the right one, but then I found HomeLight online and I couldn't have been more pleased! Within minutes I received a call from them, they asked me a number of questions to ensure they selected the perfect realtor for us. It was that easy! We met with Tina the next day and we hit it off immediately. We found our "castle" within 3 weeks and she sold our home too! I will recommend HomeLight to all of my friends and family. Thank you HomeLight!

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.

We decided to try Homelight when we were ready to sell a flip in a mkt we were unfamiliar with about an hour from our usual mkt. I really did not have the time to research local realtors so I contacted Homelight. They ref me to the top 3 selling agents in that mkt and we interviewed all 3. Toughest part was decided which to list with. We made our choice and she did sell the house within 6mo. Thanks Homelight for making it simple for us!

As you know, buying or selling a home is one of the more stressful things anyone will ever do. We lived in our house for over 30 years and it was the only home purchase we ever made. When the time came to sell, we had no idea where to start looking for an agent.
My thought was to the most successful realtors in my area and start interviewing them. After speaking with several agents, HomeLight lead me to Paul Lamastra. We could not have been more pleased with his demeanor, professionalism, advise, and especially the outcome. He estimated the value of our home perfectly and our house sold for top dollar and quickly. What more can ask of a realtor! A big "Thank You" to HomeLight for steering me to Paul.

HomeLight made it very easy to find a great agent. I could see if the agent specialized in out of state moving, which was my major concern, and I had multiple ways to contact the agent-on my own or through HomeLight. HomeLight really saved me a great deal of time and frustration looking for a realtor. I found the perfect one right away and was able to have a wonderful home buying process.

I was very pleased with HomeLight, they helped me choose a great Agent in Bryan Huff, and his team of experience and dedicated folks. I didn't realize what a big help Homelight could be until the Huff agency sold my house in one day! In particular Veronica Morris our personal agent was amazing! I would use homelight again in the future.
Thanks again Homelight!

We enjoyed our experience with Homelight. We were relocating to a new area and did not have any contacts for realtors so we tried Homelight. Soon after we set up an account we were contacted by two real estate agents and worked with one of those agents, Mary O'Malley-Joyce, to find our current home. We had a positive experience with the Homelight process and would not have found our realtor without this service.

We had a great experience with the realtor referred to us by HomeLight. He was patient and gave great advise. We had several challenges during the sale of our home, and each time he knew exactly what to do. He went above and beyond, and did a good deal more than a realtor has to. We will use them again- great service!

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

Kroger, My employer referred me to Homelight. Homelight returned my call immediately with names of 3 agents in my area. We chose the second one we spoke to(his name is Mike).
Divorce was the reason for the house being sold. The ex and I did not speak to each other at the time. Mike was very professional and patient and persistent in communicating with each of us separately to make things happen. We had a buyer quickly, but ran into several snags along the way. Mike was extremely helpful with solving the snags and keeping things moving. He worked with us and for us. And he worked hard between the offer and the closing. I would highly recommend both Mike and Homelight.

Initially I was skeptical of trying Homelight for selecting a real estate agent, but it was the best decision in selling my home. I was not 'bombarded' by emails and texts by several agents. Homelight matched me with the perfect agent for my needs. It was simple and quick (and free). My agent handled everything throughout the entire process efficiently and effectively. My home was on the market in only a few days with a full listing complete with professional photos and virtual tour of my townhouse (at no added charge). I had multiple full price offers by the end of the first weekend. I will absolutely use Homelight again for my real estate needs.

I reached out to HomeLight in order to sell my primary residence in Maryland. I received an email and call from HomeLight immediately! From that information, I was able to research cash payment options available but decided to not go that direction. I was contacted by the top three realtor recommendations provided by HomeLight within an hour. I chose Chris Cooke and his team got my house on the market and sold within a month. Such a great experience overall!

HomeLight provided me with three realtors in my area for selling my house. I interviewed two of them, and finally chose one who is in our town. The one we chose is one of the top realtors in my area, and working with him was a wonderful experience. He knows the market well and knows how to negotiate for a win/win for both sides. Thanks to HomeLight for hooking me up with this professional. We were able to sell our house very quickly.

I reached out to HomeLight for a local Realor to guide me with the sale of my house. HomeLight recommended 3 agents for my review. I made an instant connection with
Lydia Chen of Sotheby's. I made the right choice. Lydia is a true professional. She provided expert advice and guidance throughout the process. Both services are highly recommended. Thank you HomeLight and once again to Lydia. I would most definitely use both services again in the future.

Homelight recommended three very good real estate agents when we considered selling our home. We interviewed all three of them and made our selection. The one we chose did a fantastic job of listing our home and we were extremely happy with the price we sold at. Homelight was very helpful to us since the realtor list was pre-screened, which saved us a lot of time and hassle. We will definitely use Homelight again.

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 had never used or heard of HomeLight. Interestingly my wife is a real estate agent but we live too far away from my brother/mother's house for her to efficiently manage the sale of the house. I needed to limit the hassle for my 90 year old mother since my brother had passed away. I looked online for companies to buy their house without going through an real estate agent. The offers from those companies were ridiculously low.

Through the wonders of the INTERNET, search engine smarts I'll bet, HomeLight popped up. After verifying contact information etc., HomeLight sent me several real estate agents in the area. After speaking to several, one stood out as a good fit for us.

The experience with the real estate agent went extremely well and we were able sell the house for over $80,000 over the highest estimates from the other companies!

HomeLight you're the best!
