CURB is a specialized real estate brokerage and license-holding company designed for agents who want to keep their California Department of Real Estate (DRE) license active—without the burden of real estate board memberships and associated fees. A common misconception in the industry is that agents must become a Realtor to buy and sell real estate. However, CURB provides a cost-effective alternative, allowing agents to continue working with clients without the need for National Association of Realtors (NAR) membership.
