What is the Real Estate Board of New York?
The Real Estate Board of New York was begun in 1896 as the
first real estate trade association in the state. Real Estate
Board members are New York City’s most talented, energetic
and influential real estate professionals. Once membership
is approved, members belong to their industry’s leading
trade association within New York. REBNY works on behalf of
its members to promote public and industry policies and frequently
speaks before government bodies to, among other things, expand
New York’s economy, encourage the development and renovation
of commercial and residential real property, enhance the city’s
appeal to investors and residents and facilitate property management.
In addition, the Board conducts various professional
education programs including state-certified required courses
for licensing,
continuing education courses and free seminars to help members
hone their professional skills. REBNY also undertakes a wide
variety of research projects studying the current residential
and commercial conditions within the city and maintains the
largest collection of real-estate related information of any
city trade association in its Seymour B. Durst library, located
at REBNY’s office in mid-town.
