Broker of Record Services
Supervision built for an audit.
Broker of Record services from Bey Group Real Estate, Inc. for California real estate teams and property-management firms: real file review, real trust-fund oversight, and a designated officer who answers the phone. One page with a single request form, live at beygrouprealestate.com/broker-of-record, and behind it a supervision desk that automates the arithmetic and refuses to automate the judgment.

Who it is for
The team that outgrew its brokerage. The property manager without a broker. The out-of-state operator entering California. Each needs a designated broker whose supervision would survive a Department of Real Estate audit, not a name on a license.
The offer
Reviewing. That is the whole product. A capped roster, priced per file: residential from $1,500 a month for up to ten files, growth banded by volume, property management from $3,000 a month plus a per-door rate with a 250-door minimum. The button says request, not book, because nothing is booked until the reply goes out and an unqualified booking costs twenty minutes.
The desk
Behind the page is the supervision desk: an exception queue, a deposit clock, three-way trust reconciliation, license-expiry and advertising checks, retention scheduling, unsigned-file-near-close detection, an audit binder assembled on demand, a monthly statement, and a daily digest that goes out at 7:30 Pacific and stays silent when there is nothing to say.
Decisions that shaped it
Automate the arithmetic, never the judgment.
The signature, the phone call when something is actually wrong, and the decision to decline an engagement are human acts, attributed and timestamped. The database enforces it: a file review can only be signed off by a staff row with the broker role, under a row-level policy.
A rule engine that cites its sources.
Nine deterministic rules for trust timing, reconciliation, advertising, licensee status and record retention, each citing the Business and Professions Code and Title 10 sections it rests on. The desk shows a banner until counsel has verified the citations. 88 tests run on plain node:test.
No indicators of success.
A standing rule in the repo: this is a new business, so no testimonials, logos, counts or dollar figures anywhere on the site.
The desk never falls back to sample data.
Demo rows were purged in August 2026 and nothing synthetic is ever shown in their place.
A lead is never lost to a missing key.
With no email transport configured, a request still lands in the inquiries queue with a not-emailed flag. Resend is preferred and Gmail is the fallback; switching is a config change, not a rewrite.
Keys that cannot leak, throttles that are not a location record.
The database client is server-only, so an accidental client import is a build error. Anonymous callers read empty arrays from every table. Submitter IPs are salted and hashed, five requests an hour, never stored raw.
Where it stands
- Open and taking fit-call requests since September 2026. Moved onto beygrouprealestate.com/broker-of-record in October 2026; the original brokerofrecordca.com now redirects there.
- Rebranded in October 2026 as a product of Bey Group Real Estate, Inc. (California DRE Corporation License #02449920): the company's mark, company voice on every public surface, and a designated officer in place of a lone broker.
- The landing page gained editorial photography and a portrait in late September.
- The supervision desk runs behind a login and is not indexed; the rule engine's citations carry a banner until counsel signs them off.
