Our promise on reviews
Every rating you see here comes from a real Clever customer on an independent platform, including Trustpilot, Google, and the BBB. We don't filter critical reviews, pay for placements, or write our own. What you see is what our customers actually said.
More than 200,000 people have used Clever Real Estate to buy or sell a home, and the reviews speak for themselves. Across Trustpilot, Google, and the Better Business Bureau, Clever holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from more than 4,400 verified reviews, with 99% of customers reporting a positive experience.
What makes Clever different? You get a full-service agent from a top brokerage like Keller Williams, RE/MAX, or Coldwell Banker, but you pay a 1.5% listing fee instead of the typical 2.5–3%. On a $400,000 sale, that's roughly $4,000–$6,000 back in your pocket. No cut corners. No discount service. Just a smarter commission structure.
Clever has helped customers save more than $220 million in commission fees since 2017. Below, you'll find what real customers have to say, plus a breakdown of how the process works.

What real customers say
Clever customers consistently highlight three things: the quality of their matched agent, the money they saved, and how easy the process felt from start to finish.
"There's no difference in quality of service..."
Clever customer Nick saved thousands by listing with a Clever agent instead of paying traditional commission rates:
"I mean, I probably saved $14,000. You get equal service, better value, and overall you're coming away with more money in your pocket."
"I had no problems with Clever..."
Clever customer Bonnie said the best part was the speed and convenience — her agent handled the paperwork and kept the process moving from day one:
"It was good because we really wanted to get things moving and not waste any time, and their house was fairly new, and it was a pretty easy house to sell. It was just not having to deal with all the paperwork and everything else. All the experience with Clever went really smoothly, and we were really happy with them, and I'd recommend them to anybody."

Note: Clever Real Estate review information is up to date as of May 7, 2026. Visit BBB, Google, and Trustpilot for the most current ratings and review counts.
Clever has a near-perfect rating across 4,583 reviews on BBB, Google, and Trustpilot. Most negative reviews cite communication issues during the agent-matching process, not problems with the agents themselves. That's a meaningful distinction — once you're paired with an agent, the experience largely mirrors working with any traditional brokerage.
More Clever Real Estate reviews
Across thousands of reviews, a pattern emerges: customers expected a trade-off between savings and service quality — and were surprised to find there wasn't one. Here's a sample.
Our realtor, whom we found through Clever Real Estate, was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. During a challenging market with high inventory and high interest rates, she consistently kept us informed and guided us through every step of the process. When it came time to negotiate, she truly stepped up and advocated for us at the table.
Working with this company was not only fast but also extremely convenient. Even when other aspects if the sale/buy caused miscommunication, the team was very understanding and still extremely motivated. The price was great for both parties in my opinion and I feel(at least on my end) extremely happy qoth the results.
I was so glad I heard of Clever when I first started my search for an agent. Not only did they connect me with great options for agents the agent I chose was great. Clever was very communicative with me during the process checking in to see how things were coming along. Overall a great experience and I will recommend them to everyone I know who is looking to sell.
