ARELLO / State Real Estate License Scraper

Pulls real estate broker and agent license records directly from state regulatory commissions. Returns the fields that matter — name, license number, type, status, expiration, brokerage, and address — for each licensee.

Phase 1 covers California (DRE), Florida (DBPR), New York (DOS eAccessNY), and Texas (TREC). You can run one state or all four in a single job.

Sources

State	Agency	Strategy
California	CA DRE (Department of Real Estate)	HTML form search + detail pages
Florida	FL DBPR (Dept of Business and Prof. Regulation)	Bulk CSV download from public records portal
New York	NY DOS eAccessNY	Session-based form search
Texas	TX TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission)	Supported

Florida's DBPR publishes a complete licensee CSV that's refreshed regularly. The scraper downloads it in full and filters locally — no interactive search needed.

Pricing

Priced per record ($0.002/record + $0.10/run). A 1,000-record run costs roughly $2.10.

Use Cases

• License verification before onboarding agents or partners
• Building contact lists for real estate tech outreach (CRMs, MLS tools, E&O insurance)
• Compliance monitoring for brokerage management platforms
• iBuyer and mortgage SaaS vendor qualification

Notes

• Texas TREC turns away most automated tools; the actor handles that for you on TX runs.
• NY searches require a minimum 2-character surname prefix due to eAccessNY's input validation.
• FL DBPR's bulk CSV is ~114 MB. Expect a 60–90 second download on the first run; subsequent runs may benefit from Apify's caching layer.
• maxItems = 0 runs an uncapped alphabetical sweep. For FL, this means parsing the full 448K-row CSV against your filters.
