Questions about finding an agent in California
How do I find an LGBTQ+ or ally real estate agent in California?
No agent is listed in California yet. You can browse every agent on Search With Pride, and we add states as agents join.
How do agents join Search With Pride?
Every agent agrees to The Search With Pride Pledge when they join. Before their profile is published we check that they hold an active real estate license in the state they are listed in, and we check it again when it comes up for renewal. We do not attempt to verify or label anyone’s personal identity. Read the pledge →
Does it cost anything to contact an agent?
No. Searching and contacting agents is free for buyers and sellers, and no account is needed. You never pay Search With Pride.
Are the agents LGBTQ+, or allies?
Both. Agents tell us in their own words whether they are joining as an LGBTQ+ community member or as an ally, and that appears on their profile as self-described. We do not verify or label anyone’s identity, and the pledge applies to every agent either way.
Can an agent help me buy or sell outside California?
Often yes. An agent is listed in every state where we have checked their license, and their profile lists the areas they serve. Ask them directly and they will tell you what they cover.
