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 [email protected]. 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.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles HomeLight the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — HomeLight scores 11.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile HomeLight
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for HomeLight. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 1
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
HomeLight Partner API
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. Au...
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
