[Al-Saif Irfan]

Let’s Build Something Beautiful.

At Charney, we believe real estate can be more than a transaction, it can be an act of building something beautiful. If you’re a licensed real estate agent who wants more than just commission splits and cold calls, read on. We’re inviting the curious, the creative, the driven, and the bold to explore a brokerage model that puts learning, growth, and meaningful work at its core.

Why Join Charney?

• We’re Developers, Not Just Brokers. At Charney, agents work alongside developers, asset managers, investors, and data scientists. That means real visibility into how buildings get financed, designed, marketed, and sold, from blueprint to closing.
• Holistic Education & GrowthWithin your first weeks, you’ll gain practical exposure to real estate development, underwriting, sourcing opportunities for our multifamily investment fund, and strategic pricing methodologies. Think of it as brokerage with an MBA in the making.
• A Seat at the TableWe’re small by design. Our team is under 10 people, yet we’re delivering some of the most complex, celebrated developments in NYC. As an agent, your insights matter. You’ll work directly with leadership, not layers.
• Culture-Forward, Community-FocusedWe partner with the Brooklyn Museum, Public Records, Threes Brewing, and more—giving our agents and their clients access to exclusive cultural events and artist activations. We’re facilitators of community, not just closers.
• Data-Driven Without Losing the Human TouchWith tools like CINC, Follow Up Boss, and RealVerified, we provide smart lead routing, predictive analytics, and real-time market insights, so you can spend more time connecting and less time chasing.
• Your Brand, Our InfrastructureWhether you’re a seasoned top producer or an emerging agent ready to differentiate yourself, we’ll give you the tools and positioning to grow your business meaningfully and sustainably.
