How it works
- Ask the agent for their full name, folio and licensing state.
- Search by name or folio at /registro.
- Check the name, expiration date and type on the profile.
- Confirm with the official source before you pay.
Before you hand over a deposit or sign anything, you can check on Multilistado whether a real estate agent appears in their state's official registry. Type their name or license folio at /registro and you'll see what the state government publishes: name, folio, type (agent or agency), city, expiration date and a link to the official source. It's free and you don't need an account.
Which registries are included
In Mexico, real estate licensing is handled by each state. We currently copy the public registries of these eight states every day:
| State | Registry | License |
|---|---|---|
| Baja California | REAPI | Mandatory |
| Baja California Sur | RAPI | Mandatory |
| Sinaloa | State Registry of Real Estate Agents | Mandatory |
| Chihuahua | State Registry of Real Estate Licenses | Mandatory |
| Colima | State Registry of Real Estate Agents (REAI) | Mandatory |
| Guanajuato | Registry of Real Estate Agents | Voluntary registration |
| Jalisco | Single Real Estate Registry | Voluntary registration |
| Tabasco | REDAIT | Voluntary registration |
Where registration is voluntary, not appearing doesn't mean the person is working illegally; it just means you should ask for other references. If the agent works in a state that isn't on the list, look up that state's registry directly.
How to check an agent
- Ask for their full name, license folio and the state that issued it.
- Search for them in the registry directory by name or folio. You can also open a state, for example Baja California, and filter by city.
- Open their profile and check that the name matches their ID, that the license is current, and whether it's an individual agent or an agency.
- If the profile says they're no longer in the official registry, ask for a current license before doing any business.
- Before you pay, confirm directly with the state agency using the link to the official source on every profile.
Claimed profiles: one more step
Some registry profiles show as claimed. That means the agent proved their identity on Multilistado with three checks: a code sent to the phone or email published in the official registry, a photo of their license and a live selfie. Those agents have a Multilistado profile, and their verified-agent badge shows on their listings.
When you request a showing with "I want to see it", we only assign license-verified agents, and the email we send includes their license number and issuing state so you can look them up too.
What it shows and what it doesn't
- Only what the state publishes: name, folio, type, city, expiration date and, if the registry publishes them, a public phone and email.
- The date we last checked the registry.
- If something is wrong, you can request a correction or removal of the page from the profile.
The registry confirms that someone holds a license or registration, not that a particular deal is safe. Keep reviewing documents and close before a notary.
Red flags
- They ask for the deposit in cash or to a personal account without a receipt.
- They push you to sign today or to reserve a pre-sale unit without a contract.
- They don't want the closing done before a notary.
- They don't appear in the registry of a state where the license is mandatory.
