Search TN licencesNot a consumer report
Licence status published by a state commission is a public record provided for general reference. It is not a consumer report and may not be used to make employment, tenant, credit, or insurance decisions. For anything covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, use a licensed consumer reporting agency.

Common questions
How do I verify a real estate licence in Tennessee?
Use the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) licence search. Enter the licensee's name or licence number and the search returns the licence type, its current status, and the expiration date. The commission's record is the authoritative one — a listing on a brokerage site or a business card is not verification.
Is the Tennessee licence lookup free?
Yes. State real estate commissions publish licensee status as a public record, at no charge and without an account. Any site charging you to look up a real estate licence is reselling public data.
Does the same search cover both agents and brokers in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) licenses both, so one search covers salespersons and brokers. The result names the licence type held, which is how you tell an agent from a broker.
Can I use this to make a hiring decision?
No. Licence status from a state commission is a public record for general reference. It is not a consumer report and cannot be used to make employment, tenant, credit, or insurance decisions. Use a licensed consumer reporting agency for anything FCRA-regulated.
What if the licence does not appear in the search?
An empty result is not proof that someone is unlicensed. Names are often recorded differently than they are used day to day, and a pending or recently issued licence may not be searchable yet. Try the licence number, then contact Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) before drawing a conclusion.
