Real Estate Listings

The property services listings compiled here represent professionals and firms operating across the US real estate sector, including licensed brokers, property managers, appraisers, inspectors, and ancillary service providers. Each entry reflects a discrete service category governed by state-level licensing boards and, in applicable cases, federal regulatory frameworks. Accurate interpretation of listing data requires familiarity with how entries are structured, what information is confirmed versus self-reported, and where geographic or categorical gaps exist. The Property Services Directory Purpose and Scope page provides additional context on the methodology behind this index.

How to read an entry

Each listing presents a structured profile organized around five core data fields: business or practitioner name, primary service category, state of operation, licensing status indicator, and contact reference. These fields align with the classification framework used across the directory.

Service category labels follow the occupational taxonomy recognized by the Bureau of Labor Statistics under the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, which distinguishes between real estate brokers (SOC 41-9021), property managers (SOC 11-9141), and appraisers and assessors of real estate (SOC 13-2021). Listings that do not clearly fit a single SOC category are tagged as "multi-service" and cross-referenced where applicable.

The licensing status indicator uses three states:

1. Verified active — license number confirmed against a named state regulatory database at the time of last update
2. Self-reported — the provider submitted licensing information that has not yet been cross-checked against a state board record
3. Status unknown — no licensing data was submitted or retrievable; the entry reflects existence, not qualification

Entries do not rank or score providers. Placement within a category listing is alphabetical by business name, not by quality, volume, or rating. Readers researching how the broader index is organized should consult How to Use This Property Services Resource.

What listings include and exclude

Listings cover the following service categories within the US residential and commercial real estate sector:

• Licensed real estate brokers and salespersons operating under state real estate commission authority
• Certified residential and general appraisers credentialed under the Appraisal Qualifications Board (AQB) standards as administered through the Appraisal Subcommittee of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)
• Property managers operating under state-specific licensing requirements, which vary significantly — 23 states require a real estate license to manage residential property for compensation, while others impose separate property management licensing statutes
• Home inspectors operating under state licensing where applicable; the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and InterNACHI publish national standards of practice referenced in state codes across 32 states that regulate the profession
• Title and escrow companies holding state department of insurance or department of financial institutions authority
• Real estate attorneys admitted to state bar associations where real estate transaction law practice intersects with licensure

Listings explicitly exclude:

• Unlicensed referral networks or lead aggregators
• Mortgage lenders and loan originators (regulated separately under the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5101 et seq., administered through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System)
• Contractors and construction trades not holding a real estate or property management license

The distinction between a licensed broker and a licensed salesperson is structural: a salesperson must operate under broker sponsorship in all 50 states, whereas a broker may operate independently or employ salespersons. This hierarchy directly affects which entity holds legal accountability for a transaction under state real estate commission rules. The full Property Services Listings index reflects this distinction in the category field.

Verification status

Licensing verification relies on publicly accessible state real estate commission databases, appraiser registry data published by the Appraisal Subcommittee (accessible via the ASC National Registry at asc.gov), and state bar association member directories for attorney listings.

Verification is not continuous. The interval between a license status change at the issuing authority and the reflection of that change in a directory entry can range from 30 to 180 days depending on update cadence. Practitioners whose licenses lapse, are suspended, or are revoked during that window may temporarily retain a "verified active" indicator.

Readers using this directory for due diligence on a specific provider should confirm current license status directly with the relevant state agency. Every US state maintains a publicly searchable license lookup tool through its real estate commission or department of licensing; the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) maintains a directory of these state regulatory bodies at arello.org.

Coverage gaps

The directory does not achieve uniform national coverage across all service categories. Specific limitations include:

• Rural and low-density markets: Counties with fewer than 10,000 residents, as defined by the US Census Bureau's rural-urban classification, are underrepresented. Providers in these markets submit entries at lower rates than metropolitan-area firms.
• Specialty appraisal: Agricultural land appraisers, timberland specialists, and mass appraisal firms serving county tax assessor offices are not systematically indexed; their credentialing often falls outside the AQB residential/general credential categories.
• Commercial property management: Large institutional property management organizations managing portfolios above 500 units frequently maintain proprietary intake processes and do not list through open directories.
• Attorney-only transaction states: In states where real estate closings are conducted exclusively by attorneys (including South Carolina and Massachusetts under state bar guidance), attorney entries may be underrepresented relative to broker entries.

Practitioners or firms absent from the index may submit information through the intake process described on the Property Services Directory Purpose and Scope page. Submissions are subject to the same verification standards applied to existing entries.
