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.

Each record includes:

Field Description
full_name Name as listed by the state commission

license_state Issuing state abbreviation
license_status Active, Inactive, Expired, Suspended, Revoked
license_issue_date Original issue date (YYYY-MM-DD)

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) JSON API (requires residential proxy)

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 blocks datacenter IPs. Residential proxy (included in the default configuration) is required for 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.
