Real Estate Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a real estate agent in New York?

To work as a licensed real estate salesperson in New York, you must complete the required pre-licensing education approved by the New York Department of State, pass the New York real estate salesperson examination, and apply for your license through the Department of State's eAccessNY portal. You also need to be sponsored by a licensed New York real estate broker before your license is activated. Most agents begin their careers at a brokerage that handles the sponsorship and provides early training.

Which companies hire real estate professionals in New York?

Employers hiring real estate professionals in New York right now include Herbert Smith Freehills, Blackstone, and JPMorganChase, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's combination of a high-volume residential market and one of the largest commercial real estate markets in the world means major national firms and independent boutique brokerages alike maintain consistent hiring activity throughout the year.

Which New York cities have the most real estate jobs?

The cities with the most real estate openings in New York are New York, Westbury, and Buffalo. New York City drives the bulk of listings given its density of commercial properties, luxury residential buildings, and institutional investors, while White Plains and Long Island attract steady hiring from regional residential brokerages and property management companies serving commuter-belt buyers and renters.

Are there remote real estate jobs in New York?

Yes, but they're rare. Most real estate work in New York is inherently on-site, involving property showings, client walkthroughs, and in-person negotiations that can't be done remotely. About 16% of real estate openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those positions tend to be in back-office or analytical functions such as real estate research, financial modeling, or transaction coordination rather than client-facing sales or leasing roles.

How can I get hired in real estate in New York with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is obtaining your New York salesperson license and joining a high-volume residential brokerage as a sales associate, where training and mentorship come with the role. Large New York firms like Douglas Elliman and Compass run structured onboarding programs for new licensees. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in finance, property management, or customer service have a meaningful edge. Building a demonstrable local market knowledge and a strong network in a specific neighborhood or asset class also helps new agents stand out early.

Where can I find and apply to real estate jobs in New York?

You can find and apply to real estate jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from brokerages, property management firms, and commercial real estate companies operating across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your license level and specialization, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
