    Made buying my home much easier

    “I had a fantastic experience with my realtor Robert "Bobby" Christiano! He was incredibly attentive and always made sure to address all my questions and concerns. His helpful guidance throughout the process made buying my home much easier than I expected. His experience and knowledge helped us to pick the correct home for our family.”

    Worked around the clock

    “From our first conversation to moving day, Tanya was exceptional. Not only is she professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly hand-working she is also a kind person. She worked around the clock to ensure my family found the right property for our first home purchase. She was quick to answer our questions, ease concerns, and give helpful advice. Think of the best real estate agent you know and multiply it by 10- that’s Tanya and her associate Bri! Thank you so much Tanya and Bri!”

    Got the best deal for us

    “Our realtor was great. He was patient, knowledgeable and very much a professional. Also, he was a very nice person. Once we found the home that we wanted he worked tirelessly to ensure he got the best deal for us. Danny from Clever was also very good at his job. He always was timely in asking how things were going in the process as well.”

FAQs

How does Clever Cash Back™ work?

When you buy an eligible home through a Clever partner agent, you receive cash back after closing: $250 for a purchase, or $500 if you buy and sell with Clever. The payment is delivered digitally via email, typically within 30 days of closing.

To qualify, the home must be worth at least $50,000 and located in one of the 42 states that allow commission rebates. See which states allow buyer rebates.

What services do Clever buyer's agents provide?

You get the same level of service you'd expect from any buyer's agent you found on your own. Your agent will set up instant MLS alerts, schedule showings, tour homes with you, help you write and submit offers, negotiate terms, coordinate inspections and appraisals, and guide you through closing.

If you're shopping across multiple neighborhoods, Clever can match you with different agents who specialize in each area.

Can Clever help me find a mortgage lender?

Yes. Clever's Concierge Team can connect you with mortgage lenders in your area who offer loan options for different buyer situations: conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and more. You can also explore mortgage options through Best Interest Financial, which works with a wide range of lenders to help buyers find competitive rates and loan programs tailored to their needs.

Can Clever help me sell and buy at the same time?

Yes. For local moves, Clever can recommend agents with strong track records representing both sellers and buyers. If you're relocating to a new area, Clever can match you with great agents in each market. And if you buy and sell through Clever, you qualify for the higher $500 Cash Back tier. Match with top local agents for your sale and purchase today.

Do I have to sign a contract with Clever?

No. You never sign a binding agreement with Clever. Getting matched with an agent is free, and you can request matches, interview agents, and walk away at any point with no obligation. If you decide to work with one of Clever's recommended agents, you'll sign a standard listing agreement or buyer agency agreement with that agent (not with Clever), based on the norms in your local market.
