Clever Real Estate Surpasses $250 Million in Savings for Home Sellers Using Low-Commission Realtors
Distributed by AdPowerLine · Originally issued via PR Newswire
Since its launch in 2017, Clever's low-commission real estate agents have closed more than 40,000 home sales, saving sellers an average of $6,450 per sale.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 12, 2026 — Home sellers have saved more than $250 million in realtor fees through Clever Real Estate, a nationwide discount real estate broker where sellers can compare full-service, low-commission real estate agents near them.
The milestone comes nine years after Clever launched in 2017. Sellers who list with Clever get a realtor who charges a commission rate as low as 1.5%.
Clever's matching technology pairs customers with a top-rated local agent from a network of more than 13,000 across all 50 states. Beyond the lower commission, Clever's concierge team offers personalized phone support from start to finish, giving sellers a real person to call with any questions.
Across more than 40,000 closed transactions worth over $17.7 billion, the average Clever customer sold their home for $430,171. Compared with a traditional 3% listing agent's commission, sellers who pay Clever's 1.5% rate save about $6,450 on average.
Clever's discount realtors have closed more than 6,000 home sales since February 2026, adding more than $37 million in estimated savings in that span alone.
"We started Clever with the simple idea that we can make lower fees a win for great agents," said Clever Real Estate CEO Luke Babich. "What I'm most proud of? It's that despite these huge savings numbers, most customers tell us that the best part of using Clever was the quality of their Clever Agent."
California ($18 million), Florida ($17 million), and Texas ($11 million) account for the largest share of Clever's savings. Sellers in those three states have saved an estimated $46 million, nearly one-fifth of Clever's total.
Clever has also expanded well beyond agent matching. Homeowners who need to sell their house fast can compare companies that buy houses for cash through Clever Offers, the company's cash-offer marketplace. The platform connects sellers with more than 18,000 vetted cash home buyers, iBuyers, and agents and has surpassed $1 billion in home sales.
Clever Closings, Clever's digital title and escrow division, has grown from three states in June 2025 to 12 today. Through Clever Pro, mortgage lenders can refer borrowers to Clever's vetted local agents and cash offers.
