Excerpt taken directly from our Training Manual:

“The Apartment Rental Experience (herein referred to as A.R.E.) in Manhattan is much longer than most people realize.

The average one bedroom apartment in Manhattan in 2005 cost $2,339 per month. Meaning the average apartment hunter is on the verge of making a minimum $28,068 investment decision for the year, not including broker fee, moving costs, or utilities which could easily total an additional $8,000 in expenses (based on a 15% fee, $200 a month in utilities, and $2,000 in moving costs). Because of the increasing consideration that hunters in Manhattan are putting into the A.R.E., we as broker’s need to be increasingly cognizant and aware of our customer’s needs. The following manual is just a sampling of how the A.R.E. may occur and some of the procedures that are involved. The A.R.E. is an annual event for thousands of Manhattanites. If handled properly, thoroughly and meticulously being a real estate agent can lead to an extremely satisfying and rewarding life in the real estate industry.”
