A practical checklist for telling genuine experience from a rainbow sticker, from license lookups to reference calls.
A real estate license can be looked up in your state's public database. Confirm that it is active and check for disciplinary history. On GayMoves, license status shows as Verified only after a lookup, and anything an agent tells us about themselves is labeled Self-reported.
A string of five-star reviews with no details tells you little. Look for reviews that mention the type of transaction, a timeline and a moment when the agent handled something difficult. Reviews linked to a closed transaction are harder to fake and more useful.
Friendly is a starting point. You may also want an agent who knows how to keep your personal information private on paperwork and how to handle the documents that require a legal name. Ask directly and listen for specific, unhurried answers.
Talk to more than one agent and compare how each explains the process. The right agent will return calls promptly, say when they do not know something, and be clear about how they are paid.
On GayMoves, agents choose which identity details to show, and we separate verified facts such as license status from self-reported details.
No. Share only what you want. A good agent works with what you tell them and protects what you do not.
