Savvy Lane is a consumer-focused real estate agent that successfully represents consumers across Washington, Oregon, and California and offers sizeable savings. Savvy Lane service includes posting home on the MLS and MLS Aggregator services, professional photos and a virtual tour in addition to all typical services offered by a traditional real estate agent.

If a seller accepts an offer from a buyer represented by Savvy Lane, the full buyer agent commission (2.5%-3%) amount is waived. Savvy Lane says that this process favorably lowers overall transaction costs, but it also requires a buyer to accept the potential downside of dual representation.

For buyers Savvy Lane offers one of the best in the industry buyer’s refund savings, depending on the total amount of the buy-side commission offered by the seller (Savvy Lane keeps 1% of what is typically 2.5%-3% Buyer's Agent Commission.)

Overall Savvy Lane offers an excellent proposition to Buyers and Sellers alike.

I paid the flat fee amount and got exactly what I needed. I have sold many homes in the past and didn't need a listing agent to do exactly what I paid Savvy Lane for. I got listed on the MLS and they provided me with professional photographer, keybox and a post/sign. I got 4 offers within a week and closed on my house 35 days after that. I saved $26,000 on listing commissions. I will use them again.

Their 1% buyer service is totally garbage. They force you to make highest offer other wise they won't make offer. I wasted my time and lost the deal because of them.

In all my life I have never been treated this badly. After canceling my listing and signing a realtor, I googled my home and underneath the listing my home showed up again with my old price listed by SavyLane but the realtors pics. When I called them they told me it was left in my cookies on the computer and I needed to clear my cache. I am not sure why it didn't show with my old pics which I had posted, but either way the rudeness was of the charts. I was interrupted and told to listen like a child. When I said I did not understand,I was I was told by the man that he was not there to educated me on the internet. I was accused of saying they stole my pictures, when i simply said the listing still showed up with the realtors pics but my old price and that that was not good. I am a 57 year old woman and was treated like a child. When I asked a question he repeated the same thing louder, and slower like I was incompetent. I was left in tears.

Glitchy, rude people. The PEAD and offers kept going to them indtead of us and it made buyers nervous like we were trying to pull somwthing. Whe. I CALLED THEY JUST YELLED AT ME AND SAID ALL THESE AGENTS ARE STUPID. Very poor customer service and we ended up with another service. Waste of time and money.

We moved from Washington to Ohio. A week before we moved, Saavy Lane sent us a lockbox. It did not work. We issued a complaint four days before we moved. We were told that they would send us a new lockbox, but they never did! For three months we had to get neighbors to unlock our house to let realtors in! They sent us a defective lockbox, didn't replace it, and refused to refund the $95 lockbox fee to us.

My wife and I listed with Savvy Lane using their full service for sale by owner program (about $900). We also signed up for their $2k broker assist service to help with close. On the whole we were happy with their services (included sign and post), but we lost out on our $90 deposit for the key lockbox when they said they could not verify receipt from UPS. Make sure you keep your shipper's tracking number to ensure proof of shipment.

I paid savvylane to list my house for sale. I was contacted by many local realtors that thought i was for sale by owner. I was told by multiple realtors that i am not on the MLS. I tried searching several mls based sites for my property and it doesnt show up. i contacted savvy lane and they told me they use a DIFFERENT MLS. I guess whatever MLS they are using is the one that no one else is using. I havent had a single showing since i listed with them.

As the entire real estate space has dramatically evolved it's nice to see a company like Savvy Lane offer a cookie cutter solution for home owners looking to save significant money while selling your home. Their flat fee listing service saved me over $10k in commission fees that I would have had to pay in a traditional model. The platform/user interface was easy to use, but the BIGGEST thing was that their customer service was impeccable from start to finish. I've reached out countless times with questions via chat and phone and they've helped guide me every step of the way. I can't say enough about them!
