Georgia Real Estate License Lookup Scraper

Find Georgia real estate license records from the Georgia Real Estate Commission public search system. This actor turns the public GREC search form into a clean dataset for compliance checks, recruiting lists, broker operations, and real-estate vendor workflows.

What does Georgia Real Estate License Lookup Scraper do?

The actor searches the public Georgia Real Estate Commission licensing portal and saves matching license records to an Apify dataset.

It can search by:

• Last name or multiple last names
• License / authorization number
• City
• Firm or organization name
• Real estate professional, appraiser, company, school, or instructor category

Who is it for?

This scraper is useful for teams that need structured Georgia license data without manually copying rows from a web form.

• Brokerages checking agent status
• Real estate recruiters sourcing licensed agents
• Mortgage and insurance vendors verifying professional licenses
• Proptech teams enriching lead lists
• Compliance teams doing KYC or due-diligence checks
• Data teams monitoring GREC records over time

Why use this actor?

Manual license lookup is slow when you need more than one record. This actor handles the session cookie and ASP.NET verification token, submits the search, parses the result table, and exports normalized records.

Data source

The source is the public Georgia Real Estate Commission search page:

https://ata.grec.state.ga.us/Account/Search

The actor does not require a login. It only extracts records shown in the public search results.

What data can you extract?

Field	Description
fullName	Licensee, firm, school, or organization display name
licenseNumber	Georgia authorization / license number
licenseType	GREC license type code such as broker or salesperson
licenseStatus	Public license status
renewalDueDate	Renewal due date shown by GREC
firmName	Associated firm/status bucket
firmRole	Role or firm code from the results table
entityType	Search category used for the record
historyUrl	GREC history/certification URL when available
scrapedAt	Timestamp for the scrape

How much does it cost to scrape Georgia real estate license records?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

• A small start fee per run
• A per-record charge for each license record saved

The default input is intentionally small so first runs stay cheap. Increase maxItems for larger lead-list or compliance exports.

How to use it

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Enter a last name, license number, city, or organization name.
3. Choose the entity type.
4. Set the maximum number of license records.
5. Run the actor.
6. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API.

Input options

• lastName
• lastNames

Entity type

Choose one of:

• Real estate professional
• Appraiser
• Company / firm

Run options

• maxItems stops the run after a selected number of records.

Tips for better results

• Use license number for exact verification.
• Use lastNames with several common names for larger lead lists.
• Use city filters when recruiting in a local Georgia market.
• Keep includeInactive enabled for compliance review.
• Disable includeInactive when you only want active lead records.

Data quality notes

The actor saves exactly the public result rows returned by GREC. Some old records may contain placeholder dates such as 01/01/1900, because that is how the source displays them.

Limitations

• The actor does not parse PDF history certificates in the default run.
• The actor exposes history URLs so users can open source documents when needed.
• The source is a public government web form and may change without notice.

Legality

The actor accesses public search results. You are responsible for using the data lawfully, respecting applicable privacy, marketing, and compliance rules, and following Apify's terms and the source site's policies.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Georgia real estate license data?

The actor accesses public GREC search results and does not bypass login-only content. Use the data responsibly and follow applicable compliance, privacy, and marketing rules.

Does this actor download history PDFs?

No. It returns the public history URL when GREC exposes one, so you can open or archive source documents only when needed.

Troubleshooting

I got no records

Try a broader filter, check spelling, or enable inactive records. The GREC site may return no rows for narrow combinations.

Why are some statuses lapsed or revoked?

GREC includes historical and inactive records. Use includeInactive: false if you only want active-looking records.
