The word “lead” gets used for two very different things. One is a form fill nobody checked. The other is a seller who talked to a real person and said: yes, I want to sell.
An unverified lead is usually a web form. Someone typed an address and hit submit. Maybe they want to sell. Maybe they just wanted a price. Maybe it was a nosy neighbor. Nobody asked — so nobody knows. You find out after you pay. One dead call at a time.
A verified lead means a real person talked with the seller first. On that call, the seller confirms the basics:
Unverified leads look cheap. But you pay in dead calls, wrong numbers, and owners who never meant to sell. Verified leads cost more up front — and less in wasted hours. Your time goes to real sellers. That's the only time that pays.
A verified lead is one where a real person spoke with the seller before the lead was sold, confirming the seller owns the property, wants to sell, and sharing the property's condition and timeline.
Yes. Every ClearWay lead includes the seller's recorded intake call, and members listen to it before deciding to claim the lead.
Because nobody confirmed intent. Many form fills come from curiosity, accidents, or people checking their home value — not owners ready to sell.
