Sublet Buddy
Licensed Agent
Help people sublet their place for 30 nights or more: find the renter, guide the deal, keep it all on Sublet Buddy.
Requires an active New York real estate broker or associate broker license
Where We Are
We’re forming Sublet Buddy’s licensed brokerage now. Buddy work begins only once that license is active. Until then, we’re meeting licensed brokers and building the first team. No one does deal work for us or is paid before launch.
You’ll
- Represent listers who ask for a Buddy: price the place, polish the listing and photos, and answer renters
- Find renters through outreach, including Facebook groups and your own network, and bring every conversation into the app
- Guide both sides to a deal in the app, where the renter secures it and pays rent on schedule
- Follow fair housing law and our community rules on every listing and every message
You Are
- A licensed New York real estate broker or associate broker, in good standing
- Able to place your license with Sublet Buddy’s brokerage when it launches
- Great with people and fast on the phone and in DMs, ideally with sublet, rental or student-housing experience
- Comfortable using an app for every step instead of cash, side deals or texts
You’re Into
New York neighborhoods, helping people in a pinch (a semester abroad, a summer internship), and closing clean deals.
What You Get
- Commission-based pay: a planned 15% of the rent collected on each sublet you close, paid by Sublet Buddy’s brokerage
- Leads from listers who ask Sublet Buddy for a Buddy, plus the app to market, chat, close and get paid
- Payments, schedules and payouts handled in the app, so you never chase rent
- A rewards program for top Buddies, announced at launch
The Details
- Compensation is commission-based only. There is no salary or hourly pay.
- Independent contractor, under a written agreement with Sublet Buddy’s licensed brokerage, as New York law requires.
- Before an offer, we verify your license on New York Department of State records, confirm your identity and check references.
- Renters are never charged a broker fee. Buddies follow fair housing law and never state a preference about who can rent.
- Every deal, message and payment stays on Sublet Buddy.
- Sublet Buddy is an equal opportunity company.
