Clever Offers Surpasses $500 Million in Home Sale Transactions

Clever's innovative platform matches home sellers with cash buyers and top agents to optimize profits on tight timelines.

ST. LOUIS, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clever Real Estate, a fast-growing real estate technology company, announces a milestone achievement of $500 million in home sale transactions through its newest platform, Clever Offers.

Clever Offers, a free service that allows home sellers on tight timelines to explore their selling options, has attracted more than 20,000 sellers looking to compare cash offers.

A recent Clever survey found that 61% of home sellers perceive cash buyer companies as scams. Clever Offers brings transparency and integrity to the cash offer process and reduces the potential for scams.

By connecting those in need of a quick sale with vetted cash buyers and top-performing local agents, Clever Offers ensures sellers receive fair value without sacrificing speed.

The platform makes it easy to weigh options — whether accepting a traditional cash offer, choosing a modern cash offer with a second payment upon resale, or listing on the open market with an agent.

"When someone needs to sell quickly, it's important that there's a transparent way to evaluate different approaches," Drake Shadwell, manager of Clever Offers, said. "I was frustrated seeing sellers accept bad offers and wanted to create a solution to maximize their profits on their timeline. We've made it possible for over 1,000 people who closed with Clever Offers to sell quickly without compromise. I'm confident we've developed the best platform in the industry."

Shadwell's work led to Clever Offers achieving a whopping 250% growth in the past year — without increasing headcount. As a result, HousingWire honored Shadwell on Tuesday as a winner of its 2025 Rising Stars award, recognizing 100 leaders under 40 in mortgage, real estate, and fintech.

"Drake has done an incredible job building Clever Offers," Ben Mizes, Clever's co-founder and president, said. "We saw a gap in the industry — sellers lacked a simple way to compare cash offers with traditional sales methods. Our goal is to help people feel secure knowing they're not leaving money on the table. The early success of Clever Offers proves we've created something that resonates with home sellers nationwide — and we're just getting started."
