The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) has a Web site that allows you to verify the licensee status, type of licensee, realty firm and address of other real estate agents and brokers in Virginia.

The Web site is at:   http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/licenselookup/

If you do not find the individual's name on the Web site, you should contact DPOR to inform the state licensing authority. Only DPOR can take action against individuals who participate in real estate transactions without a license.
