Check a credential.
A badge nobody can check is just a picture. This is the page every Cusp badge points at.
Every agent carrying a Cusp badge has a page like this one. It shows what we checked, when we checked it, and whether the credential is still current — and it says lapsed just as plainly as it says current.
Enter the pass code the agent gives you (it looks like CUSP-XXXXXX). We do not publish the list — this answers one question about one person.
What a current record looks like. This one is labeled a sample and describes nobody.

This is the part most credential directories quietly omit. A listing that only ever shows the good news is not verification.

What the badge actually claims
Three things, all of which we can substantiate. Nothing more.
- Their state license was real and in good standing on the date we checked it. We looked it up on the state commission’s own lookup and recorded the number so you can repeat the check.
- They completed the training and passed the exam. We publish the pass, not a score — the mark is sixteen of twenty, and there is nothing to compare between one certified agent and another.
- The credential has not expired. Renewal is annual. If they stop, this page changes.
What it does not claim. It is not a license — the state issues that, not us. It is not a recommendation, a performance rating, or any statement about how a particular sale went. And it is emphatically not legal or financial advice. If an agent’s marketing implies otherwise, that is their claim, not ours, and we would like to know about it.
The badge, and how it works
The image is not the credential. The link is. Every badge points at the holder’s verification page, so anyone can check in one click.

This is the version most holders will use. It stays legible at small sizes and in dark mode.

The badge image is generated per holder and served from The Cusp, so a lapsed credential can be changed at source rather than relying on anyone to take an old graphic down.
How to lose it
Published, because a credential nobody can lose is decoration. This is the test our own guide to divorce real estate credentials applies to everyone else, so it applies here first.
- Your state license lapses, is suspended, or is revoked. Automatic and immediate.
- You misrepresent what the credential means — describing it as a license, as NAR-endorsed, or as a guarantee of results.
- You give legal or financial advice to a client. The training covers exactly where that line sits, and holding the credential does not move it.
- A substantiated complaint about conduct in a divorce sale. Reviewed by a named person, with a right of reply, and the outcome recorded.
- You do not renew. Not a punishment — but the page will say so.
Where this stands
The verification page and the badge are live. The two records above are labeled samples and describe nobody. A real record appears when you enter an agent’s pass code (it looks like CUSP-XXXXXX) in the lookup above.
Who runs this: Hyleri Katzenberg, founder of The Cusp, is the named person behind certification, renewal and removal. Complaints go to hello@thecusp.app, are reviewed by her with a right of reply, and the outcome is recorded. An agent’s license is checked against the state commission’s own lookup when they certify and again at renewal, and a lapse or revocation switches the badge off.
We publish this process because a credential nobody can lose is decoration. Selling a credential and not running the process you published is what the FTC took action over in the TRUSTe case. How we assess everyone else’s credentials →
