Overall rating for Garrett Barnes Realty
Our expert take:
We recommend considering Garrett Barnes Realty if you're looking for a discount real estate brokerage. It received excellent scores for customer satisfaction and pricing & savings.
CUSTOMER SCORE Garrett Barnes Realty's Customer Score is 4.9 out of 5.0 (Excellent), which is in the top 1% compared to 3 similar companies where it's available and top 50% nationwide. OVERALL RATING Lifetime average rating is 4.9, based on 54 reviews. 54 total reviews is a decent sample size (our minimum reliability threshold is 20), suggesting the 4.9 average rating is a reliable service quality indicator. RECENCY We consider this review data very fresh. 0 reviews (0% of all reviews) were 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 Unable to assess recent trends due to insufficient data. INTERPRETATION Decent historical evidence of excellent customer experiences and outcomes, but limited data in the past 6 months makes it difficult to assess current service quality.

Garrett Barnes Realty has a poor 3.0 track record score (bottom 5% compared to similar companies, likely due to limited or missing data). We were able to verify activity dating back at least 6 years, which is about 2 years less than the typical discount real estate broker. Garrett Barnes Realty has had somewhat inconsistent new monthly activity over its lifespan. This may be due to missing data or indicate a smaller or less active operation, but it’s likely a stable and legitimate business.

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.
