Verified real estate contact data
The real estate email list, only the still-licensed.
Every other list bolts on the lapsed and the inactive to get to 2 million. We drop them. What is left is 1,547,283 agents whose license is currently active in the state registry, matched to a verified contact and the brokerage they work for.
Why broker lists lie
The 2 million number is mostly noise.
of "agents" on broker lists are lapsed
License has not been renewed in the last 12 months. The person is no longer a working agent. The email goes to someone who left the industry.
are referral-only or part-time
License is technically active but the agent does no listings, takes no buyer calls. A pitch lands in a dead box. We tag them so you can include or exclude.
sit under brokerages with under 20 agents
Real estate is independent brokerages, not the four national chains everyone has. Sell to the broker-owner, not the head of the franchise.
Source: Orbital data, 2026. Comparison against the broker-marketed counts of 2.0 to 2.2 million.
License-status filter
The status check no other vendor runs.
Before a record ships, we check it against the state or provincial registry. Lapsed agents and surrendered licenses are dropped. Active-only is the default. You can opt back in if you have a use case for it.
Of the 2.1M ever-licensed agents on the market:
Active = renewed within the current license cycle. Lapsed = expired, not renewed. Surrendered = voluntary or disciplinary withdrawal. Orbital data, 2026.
What's inside each record
The agent, the license, and the brokerage that signs the checks.
A broker list stops at name and email. We hand you the agent, the role they play inside the brokerage, the brokerage itself, and the license state, so a rep can sort buyer from seller before the first send.

Custom agent signals
The part a static list can't give you.
Point Orbital's agents at your ICP and they research each real estate professional for the signals you score on, then attach them to the record. A few that buyer teams ask for:
If you can define the signal, an agent can go find it. The point is to ship a ranked, scored worklist, not a flat spreadsheet sorted by zip code.
What we don't fake: no MLS scrapes, no NAR roster dumps, no agents whose license expired in 2022 still sitting in the count. If a license cannot be verified as active, the record is out.
Coverage
Every state, every brokerage shape.
The list spans the full set of state and provincial license registries. The biggest housing markets carry the most depth, the way the market is actually sized.

The difference
Why your CRM only has the big franchises.
Enterprise databases are built off a digital footprint, a company page, a website, ad spend, jobs posted. A four-person independent brokerage running off a kitchen table and an MLS login has almost none of that, so it never enters the database. The agent under that brokerage never enters it either. Search a city in ZoomInfo and you get the Keller Williams and Coldwell Banker offices and a wall of blanks underneath.
We build the other way around. We start with the state registry, the document that says who is legally allowed to broker a property this quarter. Every name on that list is a real, working agent. From there we attach the brokerage they sit under, the contact details a buyer team would actually use, and the license status that tells you whether the person is still in the game.
The honest trade is this: we will not quote you 2.1 million realtor emails. The clean number is 1,547,283, and the gap is the entire reason this list exists. Send an active-only campaign and you stop paying to email people who walked away from the industry two renewal cycles ago.
How we build it
From the registry, not the roster.
Pulled. Every state real estate commission publishes a license roll. Every Canadian province has a council that does the same. We pull them on a rolling schedule, normalise the schema, and reconcile agents who moved across state lines.
Filtered. Lapsed, expired, and surrendered licenses are dropped from the active list. What remains is the 1,547,283 still authorised to broker a sale. We keep the lapsed file for the small number of teams that need it (recruiters chasing returning agents), but it is opt-in, never the default.
Matched. Each licensed agent is matched to the brokerage on file, plus role inside the firm (agent, team lead, managing broker, broker-owner) so a vendor team can sell into the seat that actually signs the contract.
Validated. Emails are validated by our data source before they reach you. Anything that fails validation is dropped rather than padded.
Enriched. Then our agents attach the custom signals you score on (production tier, just-moved-brokerage, broker-owner, multi-state), so the list lands ranked by fit.

Questions
What buyers ask before they sign.
How is this different from a 2 million realtor list?
The 2 million number you see on broker sites counts every license ever issued, including lapsed and inactive ones. We only ship the 1,547,283 agents whose license is currently active in the state registry as of our latest pull. About a quarter of the bigger numbers on the market are people who stopped paying their renewal fee.
Can I get a free sample of the real estate list?
Yes. Tell us the states, the brokerage size, or the production band you want, and we send a sample of around 100 records so you can check the data against your own before anything changes hands.
What fields come with each contact?
Agent name, verified email, direct dial, license number and state, license status and expiry, brokerage name and size, role (agent, managing broker, broker-owner), city and metro, years licensed, and the custom signals our agents tag for you. No NAR rosters, no MLS scrapes, no padding.
Can I filter by brokerage size or production?
Yes. Cut by brokerage size (solo, small, mid, large national), by role inside the brokerage (managing broker, broker-owner, team lead, agent), or by production band if you sell tools that scale with deal volume. Most buyers cut twice, by state plus brokerage size.
Where does the data come from?
We start from state real estate licensing registries for the full US, plus the provincial real estate councils for Canada, then match each license to a working contact at the brokerage. Emails are validated by our data source before they reach you. License-status is checked against the registry on a rolling refresh.
Is it US and Canada?
Yes. The US carries most of the depth at the state-registry level, and Canadian provincial councils are included for Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, and the rest. Most buyer demand is US, so that is where the segment granularity sits.
How current is the license-status data?
Registries refresh at different cadences (some weekly, some quarterly), and we re-pull on a rolling schedule. Anything we cannot confirm as currently licensed is dropped from the active count rather than padded in. Emails are validated by our data source at the time of delivery.
How is this different from ZoomInfo or Apollo?
Two reasons. Enterprise tools index company pages and ad spend, which most independent brokerages do not run, so the long tail of small offices and solo brokers never enters the database. Second, neither tool checks license status against state registries, so an agent who lapsed last year still sits in their export. We start from the registry and only send still-licensed people.
