Overall rating for Next Generation Realty
Our expert take:
We recommend considering Next Generation Realty if you're looking for a discount real estate brokerage. It received very strong scores for customer satisfaction.
CUSTOMER SCORE Next Generation Realty's Customer Score is 4.7 out of 5.0 (Very good), which is in the bottom 50% compared to 8 similar companies in Des Moines and bottom 50% nationwide. OVERALL RATING Lifetime average rating is 4.0, based on 74 reviews. 74 total reviews is a decent sample size (our minimum reliability threshold is 20), suggesting the 4.0 average rating is a reliable service quality indicator. RECENCY We consider this review data very fresh. 1 review (1% of all reviews) was posted in the past 6 months. The median review age is well below our "freshness" threshold of 12 months. COMPLAINTS Some concerns. It's worth doing a bit more research and reading recent reviews to understand the context. TREND Next Generation Realty averaged 5 in the past 6 months, but across only 1 review — too few to reliably assess trends. INTERPRETATION Decent historical evidence of decent customer experiences and outcomes, but limited data in the past 6 months makes it difficult to assess current service quality.
Next Generation Realty has a 3.5 pricing and fees score. This suggests mediocre pricing and potential savings compared to other discount brands in the same markets.

Next Generation Realty has a strong 4.3 track record score. We were able to verify activity dating back at least 9 years, which is about 1 year longer than the typical discount real estate broker. Next Generation 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.
