How to read this market

Los Angeles Agent Searches: Publicity, Identity and Licence Checks

California DRE appears in Los Angeles searches asking how to verify an adviser’s licence. Finding the official checking source identifies where the task belongs; it does not mean a licence check has been performed for an agent named elsewhere.

“A source appearing in search results does not, by itself, verify the claim being checked.”
