To check a Tennessee real estate license, use the state's Verify a License search, which the Tennessee Real Estate Commission links from its tn.gov pages. The Commission says you can check license status, view expiration dates and see any public disciplinary actions, and that results are updated daily. The Department of Commerce and Insurance also posts a monthly Disciplinary Action Report. To complain, file through CORE, the department's online portal. The Commission cannot recover money or order a refund; for that you must file a civil lawsuit. Its Real Estate Education and Recovery Account can pay up to $15,000 per transaction on certain unpaid court judgments.
