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.
