Finding a good real estate agent<\/a> can feel like finding a needle in an ever-shifting haystack \u2014 you\u2019ll know it when you find it, but where to begin<\/a>? Clever Real Estate is one of several services that match homeowners and buyers with agents, but it has a different slant: they provide matches with agents who\u2019ll accept a lower commission<\/a> or flat fee. That pitch sounds great, but what do Clever Real Estate reviews say about the experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Looking for a Great Real Estate Agent?<\/h3>\n

Saving money when you sell or buy a home is a common goal. With a typical seller\u2019s agent, the commission<\/a> is about 3% of the home\u2019s sale price. If you only paid 1% when selling a $250,000 home, you\u2019d save $5,000. But what results can you expect from a discount commission<\/a> agent?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re considering working with one of Clever Real Estate\u2019s agents \u2014 or any discount agent \u2014 here\u2019s some helpful information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
