How many real estate agents in New York?
Count taken September 5, 2026Page built September 5, 2026
24,210 real estate agents in New York had a published, current brokerage profile when we counted on September 5, 2026. That is 4.9% of the 493,081 agents counted across the United States, and ranks New York 5th of 51 states and DC.
"Agent" on this page means a person with a live profile on a brokerage's website at the time of the count. It is not the number of licences New York has issued, which is higher because many licensees are inactive or unaffiliated, and it is not REALTOR® association membership. The count covers 17 brands; see how the counting works for what is and is not included.

This is the first published count for New York (September 2026). When the next count is taken, the change will appear here with both dates.
Top real estate brokerages in New York
The ten biggest real estate companies in New York by number of agents with a published profile. A company that publishes no office names (Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Compass and others) appears as one row.
| Brokerage | Agents | Share of attributed agents | Brand | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Keller Williams | 3,831 | 15.8% | |
| 2 | Compass | 3,027 | 12.5% | |
| 3 | Douglas Elliman | 2,988 | 12.3% | |
| 4 | Corcoran | 2,059 | 8.5% | |
| 5 | Signature Premier Properties | 1,507 | 6.2% | |
| 6 | Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | 1,356 | 5.6% | |
| 7 | HUNT Real Estate ERA | 1,155 | 4.8% | ERA |
| 8 | Coldwell Banker American Homes | 1,034 | 4.3% | Coldwell Banker |
| 9 | RE/MAX | 1,007 | 4.2% | |
| 10 | Real Broker | 949 | 3.9% | Real Brokerage |
By brand rather than company, Keller Williams has 3,831 (16%), Compass has 3,027 (13%), Douglas Elliman has 2,988 (12%), Coldwell Banker has 2,688 (11%) and Corcoran has 2,059 (9%). A brand's figure adds up every company operating under that name, so a franchise like Coldwell Banker or Century 21 is spread over many rows in the table above but appears once here.

Websites, phone numbers and email
Among the 16,037 New York agents whose profiles we check for a personal website, 2.6% have a site of their own rather than a page on the brokerage's site. The national figure is 7.2%. 93.5% of the 24,210 checked agents publish a direct phone number (national: 90.7%). Every counted agent has a published email address, which is the inclusion rule. In New York, 50% of those addresses are on a franchise domain, 35% on the agent's or the office's own domain, and 15% on free webmail such as Gmail or Yahoo. No address appears on this site.
Where the data comes from
The count is built from the public agent directories of 17 brokerage brands operating in New York, led by Keller Williams, Compass, Douglas Elliman and Coldwell Banker. Brands that publish no directory, and independent brokerages outside those networks, are not counted, so the true number of working agents is higher than the figure on this page; the ranking of brokerages and cities is among the networks we can see.
Every agent counted here has a published email address; that is the inclusion rule. The contact file itself, one row per agent, is sold as the New York realtor email list at usrealtorlist.com, which is where these counts are drawn from.
