# Clever Real Estate

> Clever Real Estate was founded with the belief that real estate should be simpler, more affordable, and transparent for all. That's why we've made it our mission to connect people with the most trustworthy advice and the best solutions for every step of their real estate journey. We've built an industry-leading low commission real estate agent network, helping home sellers save a combined $250 million in realtor fees through our pre-negotiated rates with top local realtors. And in 2022, we launched Clever Offers to help home sellers find the most competitive cash offers for their home through a nationwide network of vetted cash home buyers. Through our free platform, we've helped more than 39,000 customers make real estate moves that bring them closer to their life's goals.
