PRED

Verify Before You Trust

Before any property transaction, make verifying a real estate professional a standard step — then use the PRED directory to do it.

Why verification matters

Don't skip this before you deal

Verifying a broker isn't optional caution — it's public protection. A few minutes of checking can help you avoid illegal practitioners and costly mistakes.

  • Unlicensed risk is real

    Too many unlicensed individuals misrepresent themselves as legitimate brokers. Verifying credentials should be a standard step before any property transaction.

  • Buyers and sellers deserve clarity

    You deserve transparency and security in every deal. Checking a professional's license helps you avoid scams and illegal agents.

  • RA 9646 exists for a reason

    The Real Estate Service Act protects the public by requiring licensed practice. Knowing who is legally allowed to advise you strengthens every transaction.

What verified means

What “verified on pred.ph” means

PRED is built so the public can find licensed professionals — not guess who is legitimate.

  • PRC credentials are reviewed by the PRED team before an account goes live

  • Credentials appear on the professional's public profile

  • Listings on PRED come from credential-reviewed practitioners — not unverified actors

  • You can search by name, type, and location, then open a profile to confirm details
