About Clever

Clever Real Estate is transforming the real estate industry. We’ve scaled the only nationwide platform that matches consumers with top-performing real estate agents who partner with Clever for a 1% listing fee, or who give buyers 0.5% cash back — disrupting an industry that stood unchallenged for more than a century.

In 2021, Clever grew revenue 300% and sold 6,000 homes through our platform, reaching over $4 billion in total real estate sold. We’ve helped consumers save over $100M in fees, while maintaining a 4.9 star rating with over 1,700 reviews on TrustPilot.com. Within the past 12 months, our team has doubled in size, with 80+ employees spread throughout the United States and Canada. We’re poised for explosive growth, and building out a team of collaborative, ambitious, impact-driven team members to drive the company to sell 1 in 100 homes in the US within 3 years.
