Clever Offers takes all the hassle out of finding cash offers and increases your chances of selling your home for top dollar.
It's a great fit for sellers who want to sell quickly but don't have time to track down cash offers. Clever will seek multiple offers on your behalf — including lesser-known options like novation agreements and seller financing — and encourage each buyer to offer their best price to secure the deal.
If you choose, you can also get matched with a real estate agent for a professional home valuation. That way, you can compare offers against a realistic sale price.
Once you decide on an offer, Clever stays with you through the process to answer any questions and ensure the buyer follows through.
Pros
- You get multiple cash offers on your home — for no added fees or commissions.
- You don't have to track down reputable cash home buyers. Clever has already vetted the investors.
- You have a dedicated point of contact to connect you with investors and walk you through the offer process.
Cons
- Clever won't buy your house from you.
- Some deal types (like novation agreements and seller financing) may have longer closing times.
- Cash offers will likely be less than what you'd get selling with an agent.

Other options to sell my house fast in Florida
Sell your house with an agent
If your house is in good condition, consider selling with an agent. Agents have the skills and experience to negotiate top dollar for your house.
Even if you don't sell with an agent, you can request a consultation and free home valuation. This helps strengthen your negotiating power with cash buyers.
⚡ Want to see how quickly an agent could sell your home? Take this short quiz to get matched with agents near you and get a free, professional home valuation.
Sell with an iBuyer
iBuyers are investor-backed real estate companies. They use local real estate data to identify houses they can flip for a profit.
If your house is in good condition, an iBuyer might make a cash offer about 10% below market value. You'd take home more money from an iBuyer than a "we buy houses" company — but less than you would on the open market.
Tips for selling a home fast in Florida on the open market
Here are some tips to sell your home quickly in Florida from Ula Zucker Williams, who's from Compass Florida Real Estate in Boca Raton.
Order a pre-inspection from a home inspector. "A pre-inspection will identify any issues that may come up on an inspection report done by your potential buyer," says Zucker. If the repairs are minor enough, you can address them before the buyer's inspection. If you have larger problems and no time to fix them, you can at least be prepared to negotiate.
Do a permit review and a title and lien search before listing. "Check with the governing city and/or county to ensure there are no open permits on your property," says Zucker. "I've seen open permits hold up closing for weeks for electrical, pavers, pools, windows, fences, and much more."
Offer to pay the buyer's closing costs. You'll have to sacrifice another 3-6%, but it might be worth the time you save if you can close fast.
Price your home to sell, but don't discount it so much you'll take a big loss. Zucker advises clients to price their home "at most, 5–10% under market value." Adjust the price depending on how fast you need to move. "Play with the numbers and find your bottom line amount, including closing costs and realtor fees, that you would feel comfortable walking away with and still feel whole."
