When is the referral fee due?
Clever states that agents never pay upfront and that Clever earns its referral fee at closing.
Read the official payment termsHow the referral program works
- 01
Submit your experience, transaction information, reviews, service area, and brokerage details for review.

If approved, serve customers matched by Clever and honor the program's agreed service and commission terms.
- 03
Close the transaction and pay the referral fee stated in your partner agreement.
Fees and payment terms
A referral fee applies at closing; the current public partner page does not publish a universal percentage. The advertised 1.5% listing commission is a separate figure, not the referral fee.
Upfront and other costs
Free to join; no upfront fees for agents.
Use the current written agreement to confirm the fee base, when payment is due, and which future transactions are covered.
Who this program is for
Clever seeks full-time agents with more than five years' experience, strong reviews, local expertise, and good negotiation skills.
May be a good fit for
Experienced agents whose business economics support reduced-fee seller listings plus a referral fee.
One detail to pay attention to
The reduced listing commission and the referral fee are different costs. Run the net-commission math and confirm the current partner fee before accepting.
