Its courses and instructors are approved by the New York Department of State. We assist you in gaining the knowledge required to pass the New York State exam in as little as two weeks.

Students work closely with a faculty composed of trained individuals with experience stretching far beyond the textbook and into the field.

Our faculty educates for other institutes such as New York University, Columbia University, Pratt Institute, and Baruch.

A Real Estate Salesperson works directly for the representative broker, and is responsible for assisting buyers and sellers. All listings are placed in the broker’s name, even those negotiated by the salesperson himself. A Real Estate Broker supervises the real estate brokerage firm, and is entitled to more rights than Salespeople are, such as rights to do appraisals, manage other real estate professionals, and own and operate real estate firms.
