HomeLight is seeking wordsmiths of the finest order to contribute engaging, data-driven articles to our Seller Resource Center where we publish hundreds of in-depth articles for tackling every step of selling your home.

Freelance content writers will contribute monthly articles on topics including the home selling process, real estate market trends, home improvement, and home design (word count ranging from 1,500 - 2,000). In addition to writing best-in-class articles, content writers source and interview real estate agents and subject experts, craft clever SEO headlines and metadata, and occasionally source fair-use photos.

This is a remote, freelance opportunity — candidates can be based across the U.S.

WHO WE ARE

HomeLight is a venture-backed technology startup revolutionizing the $1 trillion real estate industry. Our mission is simple – we empower people to make smarter decisions during one of life’s most important moments: buying or selling their home.

HomeLight’s technology analyzes millions of home transactions to determine which agent or cash buyer is right for you. We also offer innovative financing and closing solutions, creating an end-to-end real estate experience that's simple, certain, and satisfying.

We pride ourselves on our company culture – but don’t just take it from us. We’ve been recognized as a best place to work by Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and the San Francisco Business Times. Our team breaks barriers every day while staying committed to HomeLight's goals and core values, which is a crucial element to our shared success.
