Google Ventures backing agent matching site
A new real estate technology company backed by Google Ventures, among others, officially made its debut into the fractious world of agent rankings today.
HomeLight is a referral-based site that claims to match homebuyers and sellers with unbiased real estate agent recommendations based on transaction performance data.
The site launched out of beta today with $1.5 million in funding in hand from Google Ventures (the venture-capital arm of search giant Google), Crosslink Capital, Innovation Endeavors, and several undisclosed angel investors.
The company had been in beta since late last year.
