"Clever brought me into contact with several experienced realtors willing to help me list my home for just a 1% commission. I had overpaid when I bought the house due to having an inexperienced relative be my realtor, so I really needed to sell as high as possible while economizing on the expenses involved. I thought that would mean getting minimal service from an inexperienced realtor with a no-name agency, but I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that I met several with lots of experience working for national agencies. The one I contracted with gave me lots of attention and was especially helpful in negotiating the finer points of the deal to my advantage. I highly recommend using Clever to list your home." — Allen Rutherford |
