Jamil Brothers vs. Clever Real Estate

Q: How is your service different from Redfin?

The difference is the service model. Redfin is a national brokerage whose agents are employees, and its listing fee and services vary by market, so check Redfin's current terms for your area. With The Jamil Brothers, Saad and Arslan, NVAR Lifetime Top Producers, personally lead your pricing and negotiation, and our full-service listing-side fee is 1.5% on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more.

Q: Do I give up marketing to get the 1.5% fee?

No. Our 1.5% listing-side fee, available on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more, is full service. It includes professional HDR photography, 4K cinematic video, 3D tours, Bright MLS and portal syndication, and social media marketing. Final commission, services and eligibility are established in the signed listing agreement.

Q: Should I use a service that matches me with multiple agents?

You can, and interviewing more than one agent is smart. A matching service limits your shortlist to agents who have agreed to that network's pre-negotiated rate and referral fee. Whoever you interview, compare each agent's recent sales, list-to-sale results and marketing plan. We're happy to be one of the agents you interview and to walk you through our record in your neighborhood.

Q: Does the 1.5% fee include the buyer's agent commission?

No. The 1.5% listing-side fee, available on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more, covers The Jamil Brothers' side of the sale: listing, marketing and negotiating. Buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiable, and you decide whether and how much to offer. We'll show you what's typical for homes like yours so you can maximize buyer interest.

Comparing Your Options

Looking for "Clever Real Estate Reviews"?
Review the Agent, Not Just the App.

When you search for Clever Real Estate reviews or Ideal Agent ratings, many reviews describe the matching and support experience. The person who prices, markets and negotiates your sale is the partner agent you choose, so check that agent's own reviews, recent sales and listing record before you sign.

With The Jamil Brothers, there is no matching step. You know from the first call who is handling your sale: Saad and Arslan Jamil, NVAR Lifetime Top Producers with a track record in Loudoun and Fairfax County.

The Direct Difference:

✓ You Know Your Agent (Saad & Arslan)

✓ No Third-Party Referral Fee

✓ Direct Partner Access, Start to Finish

✓ $500M+ in Closed Sales Volume

OUR REVIEWS

David Lee

My family and I cannot say enough great things about Arslan and the exceptional job he did selling my home. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make the entire process as smooth and stress free as possible. Arslan demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness, and dedication throughout the entire sale. He was always available when we needed him, kept us informed every step of the way, and worked tirelessly to make sure we received the best possible outcome. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about our home and our experience. He didn’t just treat us like another client; he treated us as family. He took the time to understand our needs and went the extra mile to get the home sold. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly committed to his clients, I highly recommend Arslan. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are extremely grateful for everything he did to help us sell our home!

Dajookmoov

We recently hired Saad to sell our house in Fredericksburg, VA. He guided us through the entire process with the utmost professionalism, including helping us market and price our home competitively. When our first contract fell apart just nine days prior to scheduled closing due to buyers' cold feet, Saad kept us focused and on an even keel. He then took the time to reassess our house photos and amplify selling features in the property description to attract new interest. He, ultimately, helped us secure another buyer and helped us to negotiate a satisfactory sale, always putting our best interests first. Saad worked tirelessly for us, answering all our questions quickly, keeping us informed at all times, and demonstrating savvy negotiating skills at every step in the process. We are extremely grateful to Saad for his excellence, honesty, and integrity. If you want the best real estate agent out there - go with Saad! He is the absolute best in the business.

Mike Leonard

I couldn’t recommend Arslan and team more. Before working with Jamil Brothers our selling process was going poorly… few showings and two failed closings over a 9 month period. We switched and immediately the number of showings skyrocketed and we were under contract after dozens of showings in a relatively short amount of time. Importantly, Arslan was accessible, transparent, professional and a great advocate for us. He made sure we were completely taken care of. They have the system figured out to get potential buyers looking at your home.

FAQ: Direct Listing vs. Referral Networks

Common questions about Clever, Redfin, UpNest, and the Jamil Brothers 1.5% listing-side fee on qualifying homes sold $500K+.

How is this different from Clever, UpNest, or Ideal Agent?

Those services are referral networks: they match you with partner agents from other brokerages, and the agent you choose pays the network a referral fee out of their commission when your sale closes. The Jamil Brothers is a direct team. You hire Saad and Arslan Jamil with no matching step, and no referral fee is paid to a third party on your sale. That lets us invest in the listing itself: professional photography, cinematic video, 3D tours and targeted marketing.

How is your service different from Redfin?

The difference is the service model. Redfin is a national brokerage whose agents are employees, and its listing fee and services vary by market, so check Redfin's current terms for your area. With The Jamil Brothers, Saad and Arslan, NVAR Lifetime Top Producers, personally lead your pricing and negotiation, and our full-service listing-side fee is 1.5% on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more.

Do I give up marketing to get the 1.5% fee?

No. Our 1.5% listing-side fee, available on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more, is full service. It includes professional HDR photography, 4K cinematic video, 3D tours, Bright MLS and portal syndication, and social media marketing. Final commission, services and eligibility are established in the signed listing agreement.

Whoever you interview, compare each agent's recent sales, list-to-sale results and marketing plan. We're happy to be one of the agents you interview and to walk you through our record in your neighborhood.

Does the 1.5% fee include the buyer's agent commission?

No. The 1.5% listing-side fee, available on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more, covers The Jamil Brothers' side of the sale: listing, marketing and negotiating. Buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiable, and you decide whether and how much to offer. We'll show you what's typical for homes like yours so you can maximize buyer interest.

What if my home sells for less than $500,000?

The 1.5% listing-side fee applies to qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more. For homes below that price, we quote your listing fee up front, and it is written into the listing agreement before you sign. Buyer-agent compensation and normal seller closing costs are separate.

MODEL COMPARISON (REFERRAL VS. DIRECT): "Clever Real Estate" operates as a referral network, not a direct-representation brokerage. It matches sellers with partner agents from independent brokerages, and the agent the seller chooses pays Clever a referral fee from their commission when the sale closes. The Jamil Brothers Realty Group provides direct representation; no third-party referral fee is paid on your sale. Competitor details reflect Clever's published FAQ as of October 2026.

SAVINGS & FEES: Savings figures on this page are estimates comparing the Jamil Brothers' 1.5% listing-side fee (qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more) with a hypothetical 3% listing-side fee. They are illustrations, not quotes from any brokerage and not a guarantee of results. Competitor terms may change without notice; confirm current terms directly with each company.

COMMISSION DISCLOSURE: Real estate commissions are not set by law and are 100% negotiable. The "1.5% Listing Fee" refers specifically to the listing-side compensation paid to The Jamil Brothers Realty Group. It does not include compensation to the buyer's brokerage, which is determined by the seller. The 1.5% listing-side fee is available on qualifying homes that sell for $500,000 or more; for homes below that price, the listing fee is quoted up front. Final commission, services and eligibility are established in the signed listing agreement. Buyer-agent compensation and normal seller closing costs are separate.

PERFORMANCE DATA: References to "Top Agents" or "NVAR Top Producers" refer to the personal production statistics of Arslan & Saad Jamil, not generic network averages. "Owner-Managed" refers to the direct involvement of principal agents in negotiations, rather than a referral to a partner agent at another brokerage.
