HomeLight

HomeLight is a San Francisco–based real-estate technology company that matches home buyers and sellers with top-performing local real-estate agents and operates a stack of consumer-facing products that span the entire residential transaction: agent matching, Simple Sale cash-offer marketplace, Buy Before You Sell (BBYS) bridge financing, HomeLight Home Loans (NMLS #1529229), the HomeLight HELOC Card, and HomeLight Closing Services for title and escrow. The company ranks agents using historical performance data on home sales (price, speed, volume, geography, property type) and routes consumer leads to a curated network of agents, lenders, and cash-buyer investors. HomeLight exposes a private Partner API to lenders, brokerages, CRMs, and marketing partners (NerdWallet is its largest partner) for submitting leads (`/api/partner_lead/v2`), Simple Sale seller leads (`/leads/partner_simple_sale_lead`), and duplicate-lead checks (`/api/partner_dupe_lead_check`); credentials are issued on a per-partner basis via support@homelight.com. Beyond the Partner API, HomeLight has direct integrations with most major real-estate agent CRMs (Follow Up Boss, BoomTown, Sierra Interactive, Firepoint, Real Geeks, Brivity, Chime, LionDesk, KW Command). HomeLight has no public, self-service developer portal — the Partner API is gated by a commercial relationship, and there is no public OpenAPI spec, SDK, or open-source client published by the company.

HomeLight publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Real Estate, PropTech, Agent Matching, Cash Offers, and iBuyer.

HomeLight’s developer surface includes engineering blog, GitHub presence, YouTube channel, support, and 17 more developer resources.

  description: Partner-gated REST API for submitting buyer and seller leads to HomeLight, submitting Simple Sale cash-offer
    seller leads, and checking for duplicate leads before submission. Authentication is via a partner-issued `secret` + `token`
    pair passed in the request body; access is provisioned by HomeLight's partnerships team (support@homelight.com). Endpoints
    accept JSON or XML, with staging (`staging.homelight.com`, `demo.homelight.com`) and production (`www.homelight.com`)
    base URLs. Documented operations are batch lead submission (`POST /api/partner_lead/v2`), Simple Sale lead submission
    (`POST /leads/partner_simple_sale_lead`), and duplicate-lead check (`POST /api/partner_dupe_lead_check`).
