Overall rating for Space Simply
Our expert take:
We recommend considering Space Simply if you're looking for a discount real estate brokerage. It received excellent scores for customer satisfaction and pricing & savings.
CUSTOMER SCORE Space Simply's Customer Score is 4.7 out of 5.0 (Limited Data), which is in the bottom 50% compared to 8 similar companies in Urbandale and bottom 50% nationwide. OVERALL RATING Lifetime average rating is 4.4, based on 13 reviews. The total review count falls below our minimum reliability floor of 20 reviews, so the 4.4 average rating may not be a reliable service quality indicator (easily skewed by outliers). 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 There's insufficient verified data available to assess current service quality with confidence.
Space Simply has a 5.0 pricing and fees score. This reflects an exceptionally competitive price point and potential savings compared to similar discount brands.

Space Simply has a mixed 3.3 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. Space Simply has had inconsistent online activity over its lifespan. This may be due to limited or missing data, but we recommend doing your own background research and approaching with caution.

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.
