About California Department of Real Estate (DRE)
The California Department of Real Estate licenses and regulates the state’s real estate brokers and salespeople. Before you sign with anyone, look up their licence number on the DRE’s free public licence lookup, which shows the licence status and any disciplinary action. Our advice: ask every agent for their DRE number at the first meeting.
