Why Join a Brokerage That Doesn’t Offer You Leads?
What You Receive:
Up to 100% commission split
NYC agents on our 100% commission split plan will receive exactly that – 100% of every commission dollar earned. We don’t believe you should have to share your winnings with your managing broker just because he or she is, well, your managing broker.
Access to REBNY RLS and Hudson Gateway MLS
We’re a Member Firm of both REBNY and HGAR which means you’ll have full access to the RLS and the HGMLS so you can offer your buyer and seller clients full exposure to the NYC and Hudson Valley real estate broker communities.
Errors and Omissions Insurance included
All our agents receive complimentary & automatic Errors and Omissions insurance included with membership with the firm. Unlike other brokerages where you’d have to pay for this on your own, we’ve simplified things by making it all inclusive with your dues.
Sales leads on demand
Experienced agents will have full access to our proprietary lead generation platform which puts you in touch with real buyers and sellers. Once you receive a lead, we’ll expect you to take it from there. New agents can partner with senior agents on leads.
Private RealtyMX account for CRM, listing syndication and search
You will receive a personal RealtyMX account upon joining the firm. It will allow you to syndicate listings under your name, search the RLS and HGMLS, set up automatic search alerts for clients, automatically create show sheets and more.
Private corporate email and mobile friendly tools
Our agents benefit from private corporate email accounts as well as complimentary cloud storage, secure messaging and e-signature software. No required floor time plus our suite of mobile friendly tools means you’ll never have to step into the office, unless you want to.
No hidden desk or monthly fees
Our agent plans are simple and straightforward without any hidden transaction fees, desk fees, software fees or any other fees or fine print. Keep 100% commission for $399/month or keep 75% commission for $129/month.
All REBNY and HGAR member benefits and rewards
We are a REBNY and HGAR Member Firm, and as a member of our team you will receive full access to the REBNY and HGAR community, benefits, events and discounts. Welcome to the largest real estate associations in New York!
World class training and in-house operational support
We offer our agents comprehensive, real world training ranging from our online courses and training videos to in-depth classroom sessions taught across the city. Plus, our team of executive assistants are never more than a message away should you need help.
What’s the Point of Joining a Brokerage That Doesn’t Give You Something to Do?
Yet that is exactly how the rest of the traditional brokerage community operates. Agents are expected to source all of their clients, execute the entire deal on their own and then receive only 30-50% of the commission. That doesn’t sound fair to us at all!
At Mont Sky, experienced agents can choose to take on exclusive sale listings and buyer referrals sourced from our proprietary lead generation platform. If you’re experienced and capable, you’ll never lack something to work on with us.
Furthermore, you’ll never have to worry about hidden charges disguised as “transaction fees” or “desk fees” for an office you may never use or anything else that is code word for you having to pay extra money out of pocket. We include many features which most brokerages charge extra for such as Errors and Omissions Insurance and REBNY (RLS) listings search & syndication software.
Receive Verified Sales Leads
We offer our agents the opportunity to work with verified New York buyer and seller leads which are sourced via our in-house, proprietary lead generation platform. Regardless of how large or small your current book of business is, when you join us you can expect to grow your existing client base through our referrals.
In NYC the average sale price is north of $2,000,000 which means each lead gives you both the potential for an significant commission as well as greater earnings down the road through referrals offered by the relationships you’ve built with these clients. Over time, we actively seek to reward agents who have demonstrated high conversion rates with additional leads.
Receive Best-In-Class Agent Tools
We believe our agents’ time shouldn’t be wasted on administrative and manual tasks which can be automated or streamlined using today’s technology. We have completely eliminated the antiquated tools offered by traditional brokerages and replaced them with the latest software available.
We offer our agents a completely mobile solution so they’ll never have to step into an office. Our agents are equipped with the latest CRM, listings search and syndication software as well as private corporate email, cloud storage, a secondary business phone line and e-signature technology all of which can be accessed around the clock on his or her mobile device or tablet.
All Inclusive – No Hidden Fees
Our agents never have to worry about being charged hidden fees or receiving the run around from the Managing Broker when it’s time to get paid a commission. Our agents are guaranteed to be paid their earned commission within 10 business days of closing a sale. There’s no waiting until month end or worrying about having to constantly chase your Managing Broker to remind him about the money he owes you. Furthermore, our commission splits are extremely clear. If you independently source and close your own deal without our assistance, your commission split will be either 75% or 100% depending on your plan.

What If You Aren’t Licensed Yet?
How to Become a Real Estate Agent in NYC:
Step 1: Complete a 75 hour New York State approved class
Although getting your real estate salesperson’s license in New York isn’t too difficult, you absolutely must be licensed in order to become a real estate agent in NYC. The first step is to find a New York State approved real estate course to fulfill your mandatory 75 hours pre-licensing education requirement. You can often take this course online at your own pace for under $100. For example, realestateu.tv offers an excellent online curriculum that costs under $100 with coupon code NYC10. However, some may find it helpful to attend a more structured, in-person course and to be able to network with others looking to become a real estate agent in NYC.
Step 2: Pass the New York State Real Estate Salesperson Exam
This written exam is multiple choice and 90 minutes long with a minimum passing score of 70%. You must schedule your appointment online by first creating an eAccessNY account. You must bring with you to the exam a valid, current, government issued photo ID along with a print-out of the “Summary of Your Submission” confirmation page from eAccessNY.
