Overall rating for Dave Brown Realtors
Our expert take:
We recommend considering Dave Brown Realtors if you're looking for a discount real estate brokerage. It received excellent scores for customer satisfaction.
CUSTOMER SCORE Dave Brown Realtors's Customer Score is 5.0 out of 5.0 (Limited Data), which is in the top 1% compared to 10 similar companies where it's available and top 1% nationwide. OVERALL RATING Lifetime average rating is 5.0, based on 5 reviews. The total review count falls below our minimum reliability floor of 20 reviews, so the 5.0 average rating may not be a reliable service quality indicator (easily skewed by outliers). RECENCY We consider this review data very fresh. 1 review (20% of all reviews) was posted in the past 6 months. The median review age is well below our "freshness" threshold of 12 months. COMPLAINTS Complaint rate is very low; only a small share of reviews (1–2 star) are complaints, well within our comfort thresholds. TREND Dave Brown Realtors averaged 5 in the past 6 months, but across only 1 review — too few to reliably assess trends. INTERPRETATION There's insufficient verified data available to assess current service quality with confidence.

Methodology
Clever reviews and rates discount real estate brokers across the U.S. based on four key factors: customer experience, pricing, services, and track record.
Each company’s score reflects a combination of quantitative data (like review trends and pricing structure) and verified service information. We independently assess how well a company delivers value, support, and savings compared to other full-service brokerages in the same market.
Our scoring model weights each factor based on its importance:
- Customer Experience (35%) — Do past clients recommend the company? Are recent reviews positive and consistent?
- Pricing & Fees (30%) — How much does the service cost relative to other brokers? Are there rebates or discounts?
- Services & Support (20%) — Does the company offer the same level of service as a traditional agent? Any extras?
- Track Record (15%) — How long has the company been active, and how steady is their review activity over time?
We regularly update our data and rankings to reflect the most recent information, helping you find the best mix of support and savings for your needs.
