#1 Utah Home Central Review
Cost: $3.500
Utah Home Central is a full service local broker in Utah. They offer a full service listing for a reasonable flat fee.

#2 Homie Real Estate Review
Cost: $5,000 – $11,000
Homie Real Estate (a Utah-based discount brokerage) gets mixed-to-positive reviews overall, mainly because it saves sellers money but offers less hands-on service than traditional agents. They provide a full service listing with a few exceptions. Homie does not make house calls, so you’re on your own for staging. They also do not do open houses. They will provide a home value report based on the information you provide to them and they provide a sign and help with paperwork.
Common Positive Reviews;
-
Big commission savings – flat listing fee around $5k–$11k instead of ~3% listing commission.
-
Simple online process and tech-focused platform.
-
Professional photos and MLS listing included.
-
Some sellers report saving $10k–$40k in commissions.
Common Complaints:
-
Less support from agents (more DIY tasks like showings or coordination).
-
Communication issues with some agents.
-
Not ideal for inexperienced sellers.
-
Service quality can vary depending on the assigned agent.
Some users said they felt they had to do the agent’s job themselves or chase updates.
#3 Clever Review
Cost: 1.5% of the purchase price
Clever isn’t a real estate firm in Utah. Clever is a lead generation or referral company. When you sign up with them, they will refer you to a local broker. The good news is they will refer you to a full service broker, which is important, but because they are a lead generation company, they will want a piece of the commission the local broker makes. Therefore, you will pay more to sell your house than you would with Utah Home Central or Homie.

#4 Intermountain Properties Review
Cost – $99 – $199
Intermountain Properties is a local firm. They offer to list your home on the MLS for a very low fee, but you do most of the work; they are not a full service firm. If you are an investor or someone who is very familiar with real estate contracts and the process of selling a home, then this is a great option. However, if you are not familiar with the process and the contracts, then you are much better off going with a full service firm even though it will cost you a bit more.

Reviews for the company generally fall into two camps, depending on the client’s experience level:
-
The “Positive” Camp: Clients who are savvy, experienced with real estate, or real estate investors tend to be very happy. They praise the service for being cost-effective, straightforward, and a great way to get their property onto the MLS without paying a 6% commission.
-
The “Mixed” Camp: Some clients, particularly those who were less familiar with the home-selling process, have expressed frustration. These reviews often mention that the service can feel “hands-off.” If you are expecting a traditional agent to stage your home, manage every detail of the transaction, and hold your hand through the entire process, this model may not be what you’re looking for unless you specifically opt for their higher-tier service packages.
#5 Houzeo
Cost – $379
Houzeo isn’t a real estate firm. Like Clever, they are a lead generation or referral company. Once you sign up for their services, they will refer you to a local brokerage that will list your home. Houzeo is a limited service package and is great for those people who want to sell their house by owner, but get listed on the MLS. They also have some tools that allow people to submit offers online and schedule appointments with interested buyers and agents. However, before selling by owner, you’ll want to learn about the dangers of using a limited service company.
