View full profileWho we are
Locally is an information platform — a data company. We continually gather and update information on licensed agents and keep adding new agents to the directory. Agents don't pay Locally to be listed or ranked, and Locally does not charge agents referral fees. Our recommendations are based on data and our own review. We don't employ the agents listed and we don't endorse any one agent.
What we answer
How we answer your questions
What does a license confirmation mean?
We record a license check against the relevant state record. When that record includes a confirmation date, we show License checked followed by the date.
How are agents listed?
Locally Pro agents — vetted and interviewed by our team — are listed first, followed by other licensed agents ranked on license history, reputation, track record and service.
Should I check an agent’s license myself?
Yes. License status can change, so confirm the current status with the issuing state board before hiring an agent.
What else is shown on an agent profile?
We show brokerage, service areas, specialties, and client reviews when we have those details.
