Candidates
New to Real Estate
You don't need a book of business to start a real career in NYC real estate. You need standards, training, and a floor that helps you improve — that's what EXR is built to provide.
How You Start
Most new agents in New York start in residential leasing — high volume, fast feedback, and direct client work that builds market fluency quickly. At EXR, onboarding is structured and standards are set from day one, so you know what good looks like before your first deal.
What You Get
- Structured onboarding and standards from day one
- Regular training, deal coaching, and practical skill-building
- Ongoing performance feedback so you keep improving
- Tools, templates, and workflows designed for speed — see technology at EXR
- A team environment where people share context and solve problems fast
Not Licensed Yet?
New York requires salespersons to be sponsored by a licensed broker before their license becomes active. If you're in coursework or waiting on your exam, read about license sponsorship and reach out — timing that conversation early usually helps.
Who Does Well Here
We're always open to speaking with agents who are motivated, coachable, and serious about building a book in NYC. If you value speed, professionalism, and a team that shares insights — not ego — you'll fit here. See what we expect.
