Real Estate Agents in Nolita: questions answered

Do I need a real estate agent to rent an apartment in NYC?
No. You can search listings directly from landlords and management companies, especially for no-fee buildings, and skip an agent entirely. Working with a tenant's agent can help if you want access to listings that are not posted publicly, or if you want someone negotiating rent and lease terms on your side, but nothing in the law requires you to use one.
How do I verify a NYC broker's license?
Search the broker or salesperson's name, or their license number, on eAccessNY, New York's public license lookup run by the Department of State. Confirm the license shows as active, since an expired or suspended license means that person cannot legally collect a fee. Ask for the license number directly rather than taking a business card at face value.
Who pays the broker fee now that the FARE Act is in effect?
Whoever hires the broker pays the broker. If your landlord's agent listed the apartment and reached out to show it to you, the landlord pays that fee, not you, as of June 11, 2025. You only owe a fee if you separately hired your own agent to search on your behalf and represent you in negotiations.
