What is Clever?<\/h3>
\n

Clever was founded in 2017 with a singular mission: making selling or buying a home easier and more affordable for everyone. <\/p>\n

Clever offers free educational resources, including expert advice, reviews, and guides, to help consumers navigate their real estate journey. We also match sellers and buyers with vetted local real estate agents and other service providers, and negotiate lower rates on their behalf.<\/p>\n\n

Sign up for free online<\/a> to see what partners and discounts Clever can offer in your area. Our process starts with a no-commitment consultation with a Clever Concierge, who will learn about your needs and help guide you to the right solution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Why should I use Clever to find an agent?<\/h3>
\n

Clever makes finding the right real estate agent fast and easy \u2014 and we help you get the most possible value when you sell or buy.<\/p>\n

We have a vetted, nationwide network of 14,000 top-performing real estate agents from all the major brands, like Keller Williams and Century 21, as well as top regional brokerages.<\/p>\n

You get multiple agent matches, hand-picked based on your specific needs and preferences, to compare and interview with no commitment. <\/p>\n

If you don't like the agents we recommend, you can request additional matches \u2014 or simply walk away. Our service is 100% free with no obligation.<\/p>\n

All of the agents we work with offer our special discounts to people who come to them through our platform. That means you can focus entirely on choosing the best fit, knowing you'll get the same incredible savings no matter who you go with.<\/p>\n

Our licensed Concierge Team will guide you through the entire process, from weighing your options and making the best choice, to managing the relationship with your agent to ensure they deliver exceptional service and outcomes. <\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of people use our free agent matching service each year. We have an average 4.9-star rating based on 2,000+ verified customer reviews.<\/p>\n\n

Is Clever\u2019s service available in my area?<\/h3>
\n

Yes! Clever is available in all 50 states and every major metro area. Our nationwide network includes more than 14,000 vetted real estate agents from major brands and top regional brokerages.<\/p>\n

Our network also covers hundreds of smaller towns and rural areas. In the off chance that Clever doesn't have coverage in your area yet, we'll still try to find, vet, and negotiate discounts with top local agents on your behalf. This process may take a little longer. Your Clever Concierge will let you know what to expect.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

<\/h2>\n

How much does Clever cost?<\/h3>
\n

Clever\u2019s agent matching service is completely free to use. You can request multiple agent matches for free with no commitment. If you don\u2019t like them, you can request additional agent matches or simply walk away. We never sell your information to undisclosed third parties. We only make money when you successfully complete a sale or purchase with an agent you found through our service.<\/p>\n

If you decide to go with one of the agents we recommend, you\u2019ll benefit from the built-in cost savings we negotiate with every agent in our partner network:<\/p>\n

Sellers:<\/strong> You pay just a 1.5% listing fee ($3,000 minimum) at closing, plus the typical buyer\u2019s agent commission in your area. Learn more about our discounted seller rates here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buyers:<\/strong> In eligible states, you can get cash back after closing to help pay for your move. Learn more about Clever Cash Back\u2122 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

How does Clever get top agents to offer such low rates?<\/h3>
\n

Clever has an ongoing business relationship with the agents we partner with, which gives us more leverage to negotiate lower rates. We send our partners a steady stream of new prospective clients at zero upfront cost. We also pre-screen each prospect for them, so they\u2019re only being introduced to qualified and motivated sellers and buyers. This saves the agents countless hours and thousands of dollars in marketing expenses. Plus they get more signs in yards, positive online reviews, and personal referrals from happy clients. All of this allows them to offer our customers special discounted rates and remain profitable.<\/p>\n
