DRE Compliance Services
Audit-proven DRE regulatory compliance infrastructure for California property management and leasing operators
DRE Compliance Built Into Your BOR
California Department of Real Estate (DRE) compliance isn't optional: it's required. Property management companies, leasing companies, and rental operators must follow rules for responsible broker supervision, trust fund handling, file documentation, license oversight, and advertising.
Loom Realty's BOR services include comprehensive DRE compliance infrastructure. This isn't a separate service or add-on fee: compliance oversight is built into your monthly BOR fee.
For a broader service overview, see Loom Realty's California broker of record for property management companies, or contact us if your property management or leasing operation needs DRE compliance support.
Our compliance framework successfully passed a California DRE audit covering nearly 2 years of transactions.
