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.

Cons
- Clever won't buy your house from you.
- Some deal types (like novation agreements and seller financing) may have longer closing times.

Tips to sell my Milwaukee house fast on the open market
We asked Jess Lex of Jess Lex Homes–Keller Williams in Madison, WI, for her best tips to sell a home fast in Milwaukee.
Price your home to sell, but don't discount it too much. "Pricing significantly below market value can just be confusing for buyers and cause sellers to get too many offers so that sorting through them is difficult," says Lex. "Getting the home priced correctly right at market value will still allow for a quick sale and strong offers."
Make the home look as updated and stylish as possible. Lex says sellers should "at bare minimum be prepared to work with a stager and professional photographer, if their timeline allows."
And remember, staging doesn't have to be an expensive overhaul with new furniture. "The reality is that stagers can come in and help sellers figure out what to do with their existing things," says Lex. "This consultation could include advice on decluttering, refreshing paint colors, rearranging furniture, and suggestions for accessories."
Stagers can even lend the seller some of their own things. "If the seller isn't willing to buy their own accessories to spruce up their home to sell, often the stager can bring in some accessories that will really give the home personality," says Lex. "This is a very cost-effective way to help your home stand out at the time of sale."
