They exist solely on the premise that you will accept a Realtor—that they have determined through an algorithm —to be your real estate soul mate and further, that agents will pay the required ransom.  Ransom, by the way, that can include my neighbors, long-time business acquaintances and past clients. </p> <p>One of our agents was recommended by Homelight  as a listing agent for a property in Ellington.  Really?  No previous sales in Ellington ever. And I can tell you that they were definitely not soul mates.  </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
