Currently our associates can choose among the MEGA-SUPPORT, the VIRTUAL, or the ENTREPRENEURIAL plans; the commission split for these plans ranges from 50% to 90% for the agent. The main difference among these plans is the level of advertising support agents receive from the company. Significantly, the level of tangible services and support our associates receive, aside from advertising services, is exactly the same regardless of the plan/commission split level associates choose to work with. Specifically, all of our associates benefit from:

A new philosophy

Real estate salespeople as independent contractors whose living depends on earning uncertain commissions are in fact risk takers like any other entrepreneur or investor type. Like any entrepreneur or investor, each real estate salesperson has a different degree of risk aversion. Some are willing to gamble only their time towards earning a commission while others are willing to also gamble some of their money, usually in the form of extra advertising beyond what their companies normally provide; naturally, those who are willing to assume greater risks are also expecting higher returns on their investments.

The proliferation of online technologies and, especially, the spread of social media over the past few years has helped real estate agents better manage and reduce their risk and, concurrently, made them less dependent on certain services traditionally provided by their firms, especially on the advertising and marketing end of their activities. For example, if an agent controls a desirable listing -- by having the exclusive-- whether he or she delivers on that listing now depends less on the name recognition of his or her firm or whether his or her firm advertises in many different print publications and more on the agent’s ability to promote that property through online media and on social networks like facebook, twitter, etc, very often at low or no monetary cost at all.

Yet, at the same time, these same technologies lead to economies of scale and greater consolidation in the real estate industry through the creation, in the process, of winners and losers, smaller and bigger firms. For example, fifteen or even ten years ago most companies and agents could get by using a very basic or no electronic database system at all but this is no longer possible. A sophisticated custom-made back-end database system or a sharp-looking elaborate front-end website system could double or triple an agent's productivity but these types of systems are very costly to build. They are cost-prohibitive to individual agents or even smaller companies.

Ardor New York, in recognizing these emerging trends and realities, is moving in the direction of becoming a genuine Service Provider for Real Estate Sales-people. The relationship of our associates to the firm is truly that of an independent contractor and the goal of the firm is to provide the most sophisticated and effective services at the lowest possible cost --measured by the commission split --to its associates. And since different associates have different needs and risk preferences our agents are offered different bundles of services at different costs which could be more suited to each individual case.

Large in-house listing department dealing with more than 3,000 landlords. Our in-house listing inventory consists at any time, depending on the vacancy rate of the market, between 3-5,000 rental units, including many exclusive listings. What you see on our website is what you get, real listings with real photos constantly updated in real time (indeed, accounts we do substantial business with are updated several times during the day).

Our listing inventory is reflective of the entire marketplace in all price ranges in every neighborhood of Manhattan and the boroughs. This provides the agent with more options, greater flexibility and diversification. Note: more than 96% of the public cannot afford to spend for rent more than $2,500 per month; if your current firm deals mostly with "high-end" properties it means you are effectively limited to working with less than 4% of the rental customer base.

A 12,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art centrally located office next to beautiful Bryant Park. Our agents can reach any location by train in Manhattan within 10-15 minutes and any location in the boroughs within 15-40 minutes due to the fact that all subway lines converge near our central office location. As a result, our agents can be active in multiple neighborhoods and go after the best listings available throughout the city.

Good luck calling that super on a weekend or early evening trying to get access to an apartment. With us you have more than 1,100 master keys at any time to show properties, we even have our own key copying machines in the office to duplicate keys.

Agents with other firms typically invest more than 50% of their time (20+ hours per week) photographing properties as a means of marketing and generating customer leads. By contrast, our agents, without having to take a single photo, have access to more than 2,000 active listings with photo presentations at any given time for craigslist posting purposes. Thus, they can literally carry out appointments within hours after they have joined our firm.

Cutting-edge proprietary database technology and public website. Manage your customer leads, cultivate your referrals, see through the database system if a key is in the office or, if not, who has it; set up reminders-- in short, do everything in a fraction of the time that it takes you now. Your customers will be especially impressed with how you seem to go out of your way to provide them with information in a swift and sophisticated manner.

Need help with your rental application or with your sales coop board package? No problem. We have separate rental and sales managers available to you. Is your PC acting up? See our in-house IT specialist. Questions about a specific listing? Visit our in-house full time listing agent specialists. Nobody can solve your problem? See our principal broker.

As a seasoned professional perhaps all you need before hitting the ground running with us is a few hours of orientation regarding our proprietary database technology. But what if you are a newly licensed real estate salesperson? Agent development is something we take extremely seriously. Newly licensed real estate associates initially undergo a one-week formal training program which is followed by daily coaching sessions until they reach a minimum number of deals. More experienced agents have the opportunity to attend weekly on-going sales and rental seminars and "role-playing" sessions offered by our managers or guest speakers.

Last but not least, more than 16 years of relationship-building and an impeccable reputation working on your side. At Ardor we don’t do “bait-and-switch”. We don’t advertise fake listings or use fake photos. No playing "favorites" or "pocket listings" are allowed, and no office politics at all. In fact, we are known for applying best practices and high ethical standards in all that we do. Plus we know it doesn’t hurt to have some fun now and then!

We hope we have the right plan for you! For a confidential interview please contact us at 212-588-3030 or hr@ardorny.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
