Obtaining a New York Salesperson Real Estate License

Obtaining a New York Salesperson Real Estate License

Do I need to be licensed?

Generally, Article 12-A of the Real Property Law provides that anyone who, on behalf of another and for a fee, 1) negotiates a sale, exchange or rental of real property, 2) collects rent, or 3) negotiates a commercial loan secured by a mortgage must be licensed as a real estate broker.


How do I become a real estate salesperson?

In order to qualify for licensure as a real estate salesperson, an applicant must have satisfactorily completed a 75 hour salesperson qualifying education course in real estate approved by the Secretary of State, and have passed a qualifying examination administered by the Department. An applicant who completed the 45 hour salesperson qualifying course prior to July 1, 2008 may complete the 30 hour remedial course in order to qualify for licensure.

Realtors Pray





The Realtor Prayer

The Realtor stood at the pearly gate.
His face worn and old.
Her merely asked of the man of fate.Admission to the fold.

“Whatever have you done”St. Peter asked,“To seek admission here?”

Why I was selling real estate On Earth for many a year!”

The gates swung open sharply

As St. Peter touched the bell;
“Come In,” he said “and take a harp”

“You’ve had enough of Hell!”

Multiple offers

Q - I am selling my home and have received multiple offers, is the highest offer the best? Mary, Rockland Cty

A - Thank you for the question. Even in this market multiple offers are occurring all the time. But the question is the highest offer the best. There are many factors when an offer is presented to a home seller. Consider the terms, which includes the timing of the closing, down payment and type of mortgage / condition of the mortgage. Review and verify all information on the offer. If you are using a real estate professional, review all these options with the real estate agent, if not consult an attorney to discuss the offers. Good luck!

It's a Wonderful Life!

And why? Because we're panicky and he's not.
That's why. He's picking up some bargains.!
