Clever Real Estate

Clever Real Estate is teaming up with Total Expert to streamline communication among mortgage lenders real estate agents and their clients.

Clever Real Estate, launched in 2017, matches sellers and buyers with vetted local real estate agents, simultaneously providing a lower rate for the client and leads for the agent. Total Expert’s platform unifies data, marketing sales and compliance products/services to provide a cohesive experience throughout the customer lifecycle.

Total Expert will help enhance Clever Real Estate’s services by letting lenders receive updates in real time about their borrowers, maintain fluid communications between agents and lenders, and help consumers reach their homeownership goals.

“We are thrilled this new integration will ensure that Clever customers will enjoy an even more streamlined process and eliminate some of the stress of communicating with multiple parties that typically comes with real estate transactions,” Tony Chahal, SVP of partnerships at Clever, said in prepared remarks.
