Recruit California’s newest agents before another brokerage does.
Every week the California Department of Real Estate licenses hundreds of brand-new agents. We download the official list, clean it, flag who still has no brokerage — and deliver it to your inbox ready to work.
- ✓279 new licenses in the latest file checked (Oct 27–30) — all first-time licenses, not renewals.
- ✓163 of them had no brokerage affiliated — “Licensed NBA” — the agents actively looking for a home.
- ✓Name, license type, city, county, issue date & affiliation status for every lead. No spreadsheet to clean.
Then $99/month. Cancel anytime. Shared leads — the same digest goes to every subscriber, so speed wins.
The list is public. Almost nobody works it in time.
Yes — you can download the DRE file yourself for free. Most brokerages don’t. It’s a raw spreadsheet with coded fields, it changes every week, and by the time someone on your team cleans it, the best new agents have already been called by the brokerage that got it first.
Doing it yourself, every week
- Remember to go find the new file — every single week
- Decode 27 columns of DRE field codes (RE 776 definitions)
- Remove renewals and duplicates, keep only true new licenses
- Separate salespersons, brokers, corporations & officers
- Manually flag who is “Licensed NBA” — no broker affiliated
- Sort by county so your offices only see their territory
163
Unaffiliated agents in one week’s file
“Licensed NBA” means the DRE shows no broker affiliated for that new licensee. They passed, they’re licensed — and they still need a brokerage. That is the exact moment a recruiting call works. Our digest puts those 163 at the top, flagged, every week.
One recruited agent who closes can be worth thousands in commission splits over a year. The digest costs $99/month.
What the digest looks like
Yes — every row is one person. In the real digest you get that person’s full name as licensed with the DRE, plus their license number, license type, status (Licensed or Licensed NBA), affiliation (the brokerage’s name, or no brokerage if NBA), full mailing address of record (street, city, state, and ZIP), county, and the original issue, effective, and expiration dates. The rows below are real entries pulled from the latest week’s list (Oct 27–30) — the sample shows the core columns and flags; the full digest carries every field listed below.
| Name | License type | City | County | Issued | Affiliation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sanaa Mohammad | Salesperson | Whittier | Los Angeles | Oct 27 | ● No brokerage yet |
| Manuel Richard Montano-Carbajal | Salesperson | Lawndale | Los Angeles | Oct 27 | ● No brokerage yet |
| Brendan Michael O'Flynn | Salesperson | Costa Mesa | Orange | Oct 27 | ● No brokerage yet |
| Tatiana Krista Tirado | Salesperson | Vista | San Diego | Oct 27 | ● No brokerage yet |
| Travis Corwin Page | Salesperson | San Dimas | Los Angeles | Oct 27 | Citrus Realty Inc |
| Richard Daniel Vargas | Broker | Morgan Hill | Santa Clara | Oct 27 | No brokerage |
| Shawn John Nevin | Officer | San Clemente | Orange | Oct 29 | Sterling Capital Funding |
| ServEase Inc | Corporation | El Segundo | Los Angeles | Oct 27 | Troy Palmquist (officer) |
Sample from the latest week’s list — the full digest contains the entire week (279 rows in the latest file checked).
Every lead includes
- Full name as licensed with the DRE
- License number
- License type: Salesperson, Broker, Corporation, or Officer
- Status: Licensed — or Licensed NBA (no broker affiliated)
- Affiliation: the brokerage’s name — or “No brokerage yet” if NBA
- Full mailing address of record: street, city, state & ZIP
- County
- Dates: original issue, effective & expiration
Leads with no brokerage yet (NBA) come first in every digest. Leads are shared with all subscribers — never exclusive.
What it does not include — honestly
The DRE does not publish phone numbers or email addresses for licensees, so the digest doesn’t invent them. You get the verified name, place, and timing — your team reaches out through your normal recruiting channels, while the lead is still brand-new.
That’s the same trade-off as a fresh permit or filing list: the value is being first with a clean, complete list — not a scraped phone number.
Inside the latest verified batch
We opened the actual DRE weekly file and counted it. All 279 records had an original date equal to the effective date — meaning every one was a genuinely new license, not a renewal sneaking in.
By day: Oct 27 — 90 · Oct 28 — 55 · Oct 29 — 71 · Oct 30 — 63. Source: California DRE Weekly New Licensee List, file checked Nov 2026. DRE monthly statistics show 1,464 original licenses issued in August 2026, so this pace is typical — hundreds of new licensees, every week, all year.
How it works
No software to learn. No dashboard to check. The work lands in your inbox.
The DRE publishes
California’s Department of Real Estate posts its official list of newly issued licenses. It’s public, non-confidential information — free, raw, and messy.
We clean & flag it
We keep only true new licenses, decode the fields, remove duplicates, sort by county, and flag every licensee with no brokerage affiliated at the top.
You recruit first
The finished digest arrives by email each week. Your recruiters work the unaffiliated names first — while those agents are still choosing where to hang their license.
Simple pricing, built for recruiting math
Brokerages don’t need another $300/month recruiting platform. They need the list, on time, every week.
Then $99/month. No contract. Cancel anytime.
- ✓Every new California licensee that week — the full list, not a teaser
- ✓Unaffiliated (“Licensed NBA”) agents flagged & sorted first
- ✓Salespersons, brokers, corporations & officers, separated by type
- ✓Sorted by county so each office works its own territory
- ✓Delivered by email — no login, no software, no training
Trial is $1 for 30 days, then $99/month until you cancel. Leads are shared, not exclusive — every subscriber receives the same weekly digest.
Why $99 is an easy yes
A single agent you recruit this month can produce for your brokerage for years. Recruiting platforms and coaching programs charge several hundred dollars a month and still make you find the names. This is just the names — fresh, complete, and first — for less than one office lunch a month.
Who this is for
- Brokers & broker-owners growing a team
- Recruiters & office managers with hiring targets
- Team leaders expanding into new California counties
- New brokerages that need agents now, not in six months
