Reaching New York agents

Only 15% of the New York rows sit on a free mailbox such as Gmail; the rest come from a business domain, their own or their firm's, led by kw.com (3,318), compass.com (3,030) and elliman.com (2,705). Phone numbers come with 94% of the New York rows.

1,129 New York email addresses joined the file in October 2026; each address in the file was read during the latest walk, on a brokerage's roster page or on the website of a real estate business.

Elliman, Corcoran and the national brands

In New York, firms that barely register elsewhere sit near the top. Douglas Elliman has 2,705 agents on file here, 10% of the branded New York agents against 1% nationally, and Corcoran 2,030 (7% against 1%).

Behind them come New York firms with large rosters of their own: Brown Harris Stevens (1,163), Signature Premier Properties (1,507), HUNT Real Estate ERA (1,141).

The national brands are thinner on the ground: Keller Williams has 14% of New York's branded agents (19% nationwide) and Coldwell Banker 10% (15%). Compass is the exception, at 11% against 7%, and its Manhattan group, 1,645 agents, tops every company-and-town grouping in the file.

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island and upstate

Offices with a New York, NY address (Manhattan) account for 4,191 agents and Brooklyn for 1,224; adding the Bronx, Staten Island and the Queens neighbourhoods with files of their own, the city holds at least 6,421, 23% of the state's agents on file.

Long Island's offices sit in its towns, Woodbury (523), Huntington (422), Manhasset (396), Garden City (371), and upstate the largest files are Rochester (585) and Williamsville (412).

License classes in the job title

New York licenses salespersons, who work under a broker's supervision; associate brokers, who hold a broker's license but choose to work under another broker; and brokers. The Department of State's file of active licenses listed 76,746 salespersons, 15,989 associate brokers and 26,586 brokers on October 11, 2026 (data.ny.gov).

New York agents put that license in their titles: 3,181 profiles in this file read Licensed Real Estate Salesperson and 975 carry an associate broker title, wording taken from the state's license classes.

A broker license takes 152 hours of education and two years as a salesperson, or three in the general real estate field. Every renewal needs 22.5 hours of continuing education, with set hours for fair housing, ethics, agency, implicit bias, cultural competency and recent legal matters.

REBNY's RLS, OneKey MLS and the upstate share

In New York City, brokers share their exclusive listings through the Residential Listing Service of the Real Estate Board of New York, which dates to 1896, rather than through a REALTOR MLS. The RLS covers all five boroughs, with more than 500 member firms and about 70,000 listings a year.

Around the city, OneKey MLS, owned by the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS and the Long Island Board of REALTORS, serves more than 42,000 professionals in the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Long Island, Westchester and the Hudson Valley and calls itself the largest MLS in the state. The Long Island board alone has nearly 30,000 members, one of the four largest REALTOR associations in the country. Upstate, the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse listing services share a single database.

Attorneys, co-ops and the FARE Act

Who writes the contract depends on where you are. Upstate, the agent often prepares the offer or contract, subject to the attorneys' approval; downstate, the seller's attorney prepares it (New York State Bar Association).

Manhattan is a co-op market: of the 11,393 Manhattan co-op and condo sales counted for 2025, 6,250 were co-ops, at a median of $850,000. Manhattan sales picked up in 2026, with 3,625 closed in the third quarter, up 9% and the strongest third quarter since 2022.

Rentals changed in June 2025, when New York City's FARE Act took effect: a broker who represents the landlord can no longer charge the tenant a fee, and every fee a tenant must pay has to be clearly disclosed. By February 2026 the city had received more than 1,400 complaints and filed 50 summonses under the law.
