Who builds this and how

I'm John Cogswell

I spent fifteen years in the sign business in Ontario, installs, sales and production, before I started writing software for shops like the one my brother still runs. Real estate agents are a sign shop's best customers. Every listing needs a post sign, every brokerage needs a storefront, and the agents who close the most are the ones who order the most. The problem was always the same: nobody had a clean list of who they were.

So I built one. It started as a roster for my brother's shop, became AgentRoster for Canada, and this site is the US edition. I run the scrapers, write the pages, answer the email and issue the refunds. There is no sales team and no call to book.

Where the rows come from

Almost every agent in the file has a profile on a brokerage's own public website that shows their name and a working email. We collect what the brokerage publishes, re-collect it regularly, and drop anyone whose profile disappears. State licence registers are used only to count agents and to find the brokerage websites we check, never as a source of the addresses we sell. The build date is printed on every page and in every file; today's is Oct 24, 2026, and the roster holds 461,719 agents across the 50 states and DC. It also holds 25,405 business addresses: the email a brokerage, team or property manager publishes on its own website, often an office inbox. Every file marks them "Business website", and we never count one as an agent.

Two things follow from that. The count is smaller than the number of licensed agents, because a licence is not a published email, and we would rather sell you a smaller true number than a padded one. And every row can be checked: the brokerage, the office city and the domain of the address are in the file, so you can see it is a real inbox and not a guessed pattern. The method and its known gaps are on the methodology page.

What is never in the file

No addresses harvested from data breaches. No emails guessed from a name and a domain. No rows bought from other list sellers. No personal phone numbers scraped from consumer sites. No agent who has asked to be removed: the privacy page has the opt-out, it is honoured within ten business days, and the address goes on a suppression list so it is never collected again.

What you are buying

A CSV, once, for a state or a city, priced on the rows it holds, with 25 unsealed rows free for any state before you pay. No subscription, no account, no upsell call. The free pages, such as the brand index, are built from the same data and stay free whether or not you buy anything. The same counts are published as an open dataset on Harvard Dataverse, and AgentTally, our free app that shows a market's agent count on your own site, is on the Wix App Market. Agent Verify, our free app that finds the real estate agents among a store's customers, is on the Shopify App Store.

Email hello@usrealtorlist.com. It comes to me. A wrong count, a broken download, a question about whether a state is worth buying, an agent who wants out: same address. The site is operated by Base7 Studio, the small software company behind PrinterFlo and AgentRoster.
