How it works

Credential-first,
always.

Every advisor on VettedVest goes through a structured vetting process before their profile goes live. No self-reported listings. No pay-to-play rankings.

01
Apply & submit credentials
Advisors apply through our structured intake process, submitting license documentation, professional history, and specialty credentials for independent review.
02
Independent verification
Our team independently verifies every license, runs regulatory record checks, and confirms track record claims through references and primary-source documentation.
03
Earn your credential tier
Advisors earn placement in the appropriate credential tier based on experience, volume, designations, and — at Tier 3 — peer panel review and knowledge assessment.
Specialty tracks

Six tracks.
One standard.

Every specialty has its own credentialing criteria — because a qualified intermediary and a cost segregation specialist require completely different forms of vetting.

Track 01
1031 Exchange Advisors
Qualified intermediaries, exchange facilitators, and attorneys specializing in like-kind exchanges. Fidelity bond and exchange volume verification required.
Track 02
DST & Passive Investment
Delaware Statutory Trust sponsors, broker-dealers with DST focus, and Reg D / Reg A+ syndication advisors with verified offering history.
Track 03
Opportunity Zone Advisors
QOF fund managers, tax attorneys with OZ expertise, and CPAs specializing in capital gains deferral and long-term exclusion strategies.
Track 04
Active RE Strategy
BRRRR specialists, portfolio lenders, STR consultants, and multifamily advisors with documented acquisition and performance track records.
Track 05
Self-Directed IRA & SDIRA
SDIRA custodians, solo 401(k) specialists, cost segregation firms, and depreciation advisors for tax-advantaged real estate investing.
Track 06
Real Estate CPAs & Attorneys
Tax professionals with deep real estate specialization, estate planning attorneys, and RE litigation counsel with verified active licensure.
