Upgrade Realty has an excellent 5.0 track record score (top 15% compared to similar companies). We were able to verify activity dating back at least 10 years, which is about 2 years longer than the typical discount real estate broker. Upgrade 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.
