Summer Sales Intern, NYC Real Estate
Location: New York, NY (in-person) | Term: Summer 2026 | Reports to: CEO

ABOUT US
We're a NYC residential brokerage representing buyers and renters across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Over 10+ years we've closed more than 6,000 transactions. We're a 12-agent shop with more leads than we can handle right now, so real responsibility lands on your desk fast. No coffee runs, no spreadsheets nobody reads. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO
You'll work directly with our CEO, Ruby, who holds an MBA from Stanford and runs the company operations. Tasks include: 
- Help manage and respond to incoming buyer and renter leads
- Shadow showings and client meetings, then start running pieces of the process yourself
- Learn how deals actually get closed: pricing, negotiation, paperwork, and follow-up
- Build market fluency around neighborhoods, buildings, pricing trends, and what makes a listing move
- Support agents so they can focus on what they do best (you'll see exactly how a high-velocity pipeline runs)

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
- A working knowledge of the NYC rental and sales market that takes most people years to build
- Real, repeatable sales skills: how to qualify a lead, build trust, and move a client to yes
- Exposure to closing deals on a short timeline in a competitive market
- A path toward your NY real estate salesperson license (we'll guide you through it), which can turn into commission-earning work or a full-time role
- Direct mentorship from a founder who's done this 6,000+ times

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Current undergraduate student at any NYC-area college or university (all years welcome)
- Hungry, coachable, and comfortable talking to people all day
- Organized enough to juggle multiple leads without dropping any
- Genuinely interested in real estate, sales, or building a business
- NYC-based for the summer and able to work in-person

LOGISTICS
- Commission-based compensation with hourly to start. Must get your real estate license by September. 
- In office Monday / Wednesday / Friday, September 14th to May 21, 2027
- Available weekends for client work (showings usually happen Saturday and Sunday)
