NBCSS Verified Partner · licensed agents and brokers

For Real Estate Professionals Who Truly Work With Investors

Investors buying rental or commercial property ask early whether a cost segregation study fits the purchase, and they look for agents and brokers who understand that question. NBCSS lists investor-focused real estate professionals as Verified Partners, where those investors look.

Apply as an individual Apply as a brokerage or team (up to five professionals)

Approval-only. NBCSS checks each license before approving an application, and nothing is charged unless it is approved. $395 a year for an individual listing; $2,495 a year for a shared listing of up to 5 professionals.

Who the Listing Is For

The listing is meant for licensed real estate professionals whose business is investors, not occasional investor clients. It fits if several of these describe your work:

A meaningful share of your transactions are rental, multifamily, commercial or short-term rental purchases.
Your clients ask about depreciation, cost segregation or the tax side of a purchase, and you know who to point them to.
You work as an investor-focused residential agent, a multifamily or commercial investment broker, or lead an investor team or brokerage.
You hold an active salesperson or broker license in a US state.

If investors are a small part of your business, the listing will bring you little, and NBCSS would rather you did not apply.

Why the Network Exists

NBCSS is the professional body for cost segregation specialists. A study starts with a property purchase, and investors regularly ask the specialist, or their tax professional, which agents and brokers understand investment property.

The partner directory answers that question in the open: a searchable list of real estate professionals and tax professionals who work with investors, each with a license or credential NBCSS has checked. It sits next to the directory of cost segregation specialists and the resources NBCSS publishes for your profession.

A LinkedIn credential and partner number

Plain Terms

Approval-only. Every application is reviewed and every license or credential is checked before a listing goes live. Not every applicant is listed, and declined applications are not charged.
A listing, not a credential. “NBCSS Verified Partner” means NBCSS checked your license or credential and lists you. It is not a cost segregation certification and adds nothing to your underlying license. You are never described as approved or endorsed by NBCSS, and your own licensing board’s advertising rules remain yours to follow (Partner Listing Terms §4).
Your clients stay yours. NBCSS takes no referral fee or commission and pays none; clients engage you directly (Partner Listing Terms §8).
Placement is never paid. Results are ordered by distance with a daily rotation.

Questions Professionals Ask

Do I need to know cost segregation?

No. What NBCSS checks is your license; what investors read is how you describe your practice. Your listing shows your specialization, the property types you work with and your services, and NBCSS publishes plain-language resources you can share with clients.

Will NBCSS send me clients?

No. NBCSS makes you findable to investors who search its directory; it does not sell or promise leads and does not refer clients to particular professionals. What you receive are contact requests from people who found your listing.

Is a partner listing a certification?

No. "NBCSS Verified Partner" means NBCSS checked your license or credential and lists you. It is not a cost segregation certification, it adds nothing to your underlying license, and you are never described as approved or endorsed by NBCSS. Cost segregation practitioners who want the credential pathway apply for membership instead.

How is placement decided?

By distance from the searcher, with a daily rotation among equally relevant listings. Placement is never sold, so a solo practice is shown as prominently as a large firm.

What does it cost, and when?

An annual listing fee, charged only after NBCSS has checked your credential and approved your application. Declined applications are not charged. Renewal is yearly and can be cancelled from your billing page.

What happens if my license lapses?

A listing is hidden while a license is unverified, expired, suspended or revoked, and your website badge shows that the listing is not active. Tell NBCSS of any change and it is re-checked.

Partners are independent licensed professionals who pay an annual listing fee. A listing is not a recommendation, and NBCSS does not supervise their services. NBCSS verifies the license or credential shown on each listing and the date it was checked. Read the Partner Listing Terms. Full offer details for both classes: Become an NBCSS Verified Partner.
