Why consider The DeVito Team?

Real estate is an independent profession, but that does not mean you have to face every challenge alone. The team offers a collaborative environment with access to professional guidance and resources that help agents develop their skills and manage their business.

Training and professional development

Real estate is much more than showing homes. Agents need to understand contracts, negotiations, property condition, financing, market conditions and the duties they owe their clients. Our training builds practical knowledge and the ability to handle real transactions with more confidence.

Mentorship and guidance

Questions come up throughout a transaction. Access to experienced professionals helps agents understand their options, spot problems early and decide the right next step. The emphasis is learning through guidance, preparation and real experience, not constant supervision.

Lead opportunities

Team members may have opportunities to work with prospective buyers and sellers through team-generated inquiries and other business development.

Opportunities depend on business activity, availability, qualifications and team needs. Leads and transaction volume are not guaranteed.

Marketing support

A real estate business needs visibility, communication and consistent follow-through. Team members can draw on marketing resources and support that complement their own business development.

Transaction assistance

Transactions involve many deadlines, documents and people. The team offers transaction help and guidance so agents stay organized, communicate well and carry a deal from the first consultation through closing.

Commission arrangements

Commission structures are discussed individually, taking into account experience, responsibilities and the nature of the working relationship. Specific arrangements are reviewed during the recruiting process.

Who we are looking for

We welcome inquiries from both newly licensed and experienced real estate professionals, and from people working toward their license. We are particularly interested in people who are:

We are building a team of professionals, not a system that needs constant hand-holding. Support and guidance are there, but every agent is expected to take responsibility for their own development, follow-through and professional obligations.

New to real estate?

If you are exploring real estate as a career, or have recently earned your New York salesperson license, we would like to hear about your goals. You do not need years of transactions to start a conversation. What matters is your willingness to learn, your work ethic and your initiative.

Already an experienced agent?

If you are a licensed agent interested in growing your business within a team, we would welcome a conversation about whether our structure fits your goals: more marketing resources, people to collaborate with, transaction help, or a different approach to building your business. Experienced agents bring established skills, relationships and working styles; the goal is to see whether there is a productive fit for both sides.

How to become a real estate agent in New York

New York licenses real estate salespersons through the Department of State, Division of Licensing Services. A salesperson works under the supervision of a licensed real estate broker and cannot operate independently. These are the steps the Department publishes:

  1. Meet the basic requirements. You must be at least 18 years old and hold a current New York photo driver’s license or non-driver ID card.
  2. Complete 77 hours of approved qualifying education. The course is taken through a Department-approved real estate school, and you must also pass the school’s proctored final exam. If you completed education outside New York, you can submit a written waiver request; New York has no license reciprocity with any other state.
  3. Pass the state salesperson exam. You schedule it online through an eAccessNY account. It is multiple choice, based on the 77-hour curriculum, with 1½ hours allowed. Results are pass or fail, and a passing result is valid for two years. The exam fee is $15.
  4. Be sponsored by a New York licensed real estate broker. Your principal broker authorizes your application from their own eAccessNY account.
  5. Apply for your license. Apply online through eAccessNY (applicants qualifying by exam). The initial application fee is $65. After the Department reviews and approves it, the license is mailed to your business address.
  6. Keep it current and keep learning. The license runs for two years. Renewal requires 22.5 hours of approved continuing education, including set hours on fair housing, implicit bias, cultural competency, ethics and recent legal matters.

Getting licensed is only the beginning. A real estate career also means learning your market, understanding your professional obligations, building relationships and learning how to guide clients through a transaction.

Agents should be ready to take the initiative in prospecting, client communication, learning and managing their responsibilities. The team is a place to ask for help, exchange ideas and share resources, without expecting someone else to run every part of your business.
