The Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) have signed an agreement to develop a web site as a searchable licensee database to verify basic information about real estate licensees, especially current license status.

NAR's contribution to the web site will be its member data. ARELLO organizations will also provide member data as well as all of the other web site contents. The address of the site, to be owned by ARELLO, will be www.ARELLO.com.

Initial data on each licensee will include (when available from the licensing jurisdictions) name, office name and address, phone and fax number, email address, license number, type, status and expiration and renewal dates.

Content will consist of a Home Page where a search form will be displayed, consumer protection information, directory of regulatory agencies, rules and law through links to appropriate web sites, real estate professional organizations and other links to be developed. North Carolina will provide only information on licensees on Active Status.
