We were in a position where we hadn't worked with a realtor for over 20 years and the last one we'd worked with had retired and passed away a number of years back. My wife had a job opportunity come up that would require us to move halfway across the country and after heading to the PNW to get a feel for where we wanted to live in February decided we needed to make it happen sooner rather than later. We didn't know where to start locally but my wife had seen HomeLight ads running on HGTV so we decided to give it a try.
The first interaction after giving HomeLight our contact info was the automated suggestions, which to be perfectly honest weren't really what I was looking for as they really hadn't sold anything in our area and one was actually in the California bay area and not in the Bloomington/Minneapolis area. The next morning I talked with a HomeLight agent who assured me they were working on hand-picked recommendations for us and that we'd be hearing from them shortly. So within 24 hours of contacting HomeLight, we had a live HomeLight agent walk us through what we were going to be receiving and within 10 minutes of that conversation we had first contact with the agent that sold our house. For someone who hadn't worked with or talked to a realtor in MN and really didn't know where to start, the HomeLight service was invaluable. Not only did the first agent who reached outsell our house but he had a team of guys who helped us with the small things needed to get it ready. There is no way we'd have found Mark without HomeLight, the whole process was as painless as it could be and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We also sold our house for 7% over asking and closed 34 days from the first listing date.
Overall I'd give HomeLight's service an A+ and I have no doubt using your services is why we had so much success.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
