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 work for just a 1% listing fee — ending the 6% realtor fee that stood unchallenged for more than a century.

Last year, 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 $82 million in fees, while maintaining a 4.9 star rating with over 1,600 reviews on Trustpilot.

Clever just raised an $8 million Series B and has grown our team to 80 full-time employees. We're poised for explosive growth, and building out a team of collaborative, ambitious, impact-driven people to drive the company to sell 1 in 100 homes in the U.S. within three years.
