Finding and recruiting promising new real estate agents is crucial for growing your brokerage. One often overlooked yet valuable source of potential recruits is the pool of newly licensed real estate professionals in your state. This article will guide you through the process of tapping into this resource effectively, helping you identify and attract motivated individuals ready to launch their real estate careers.
By focusing on new licensees, you can:
- Connect with agents before they commit to other brokerages
- Shape their professional development from the start
- Bring fresh perspectives and energy to your team
In the following sections, we'll explore how to find new licensees for the various states in the US.
Note:
- Some states (e.g., Florida, Ohio) provide full contact information for agents in the license report, whereas others (e.g., California, New York) do not.
- Suppose you are especially hungry for new agents and are located in a state that does not provide contact information. In that case, you can always engage an international contractor like these on Upwork here or Fiverr here to find the contact information inexpensively.

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) provides downloadable files containing information on real estate licensees. These files are updated weekly and include details such as mailing addresses. You can access these files on the Real Estate Commission's Public Records page. To obtain a report of new real estate licenses, you may need to submit a public records request through the DBPR's online portal. This system allows the public to create and submit requests for specific information. While the downloadable files provide comprehensive data, they may not specifically highlight new licenses. By submitting a public records request, you can specify the exact information you need, such as a list of real estate agents who have obtained their licenses within a certain timeframe. For further assistance, you can contact the Division of Real Estate at 850.487.1395 or visit their office at 400 West Robinson Street, N801, Orlando, Florida 32801. |
