"We used agents referred by Semya-Moya when we were ready to sell our home and purchase a new home in another city. Both Realtors we hired were very accessible and responsive along with being highly professional. We knew we were in good hands. Representatives from Clever also checked in with us regularly to make sure we were satisfied with how things were progressing. Best of all, we saved money without having to sacrifice on professional guidance." — Bob Willis |

"Clever was Fantastic! Our Agent was a constant professional, who responded to questions almost immediately. He come to view our home & had a professional photographer take pics within a few days! His marketing strategy & contacts within the industry were great. We had our home under contract in 3 days with an over- ask price after receiving multiple offers! Clever & their agent were incredible! Why pay 6-7% for a full service agent when you get a full service agent through Clever for substantially less!! It's a no brainer!!" — Heatherlee Madden |
