Reference check before contingent offer

I've never been asked for my references prior to getting an official offer, so I just wanted some feedback.
Is it possible that this is a red flag that I should avoid working there?

When would you expect your references to be checked? After the formal offer which then gets rescinded? If so, what's the difference between that and happening after the verbal offer?

It's actually a green flag: you are interviewing at a company where they care about hiring good people.

People, what's with all the downvotes? On Meta, a downvote indicates disagreement. On non-Meta boards, it isn't supposed to indicate disagreement with the premise of the question. Your answer or the way you vote on answers should indicate that. A downvote here should indicate that this is a bad question. I don't see any reason it's a bad question.

It seems reasonable to me actually. As a hiring manager I want to do all my homework before making a commitment. I might wait on basic employment verification, but if I am looking to contact references to see what kind of employee/worker you are, then I would want to do that before I extended you an offer, even a verbal one.
