New York Real Estate Standard Operating Procedures
Effective Date: December 1, 2025
Pursuant to New York State law, FIND Properties LLC is required to publish its Standard Operating Procedures that detail prerequisites that all prospective Buyers or Renters must meet before they receive services from an FIND agent in New York State. For purposes of this Agreement and these Standard Operating Procedures, FIND Real Estate LLC, together with its affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, successors, assigns, and any entities operating under its trade names or doing business as FIND Group, FIND Properties, or FIND Advisors (collectively, “FIND Real Estate Affiliates”), shall be deemed collectively referred to as “FIND Real Estate.” Any rights, obligations, or representations made by or on behalf of FIND Real Estate shall apply equally to all such affiliated or related entities.
Prospective Client Identification Requirements
Unrepresented and/or unaccompanied Buyers or Renters must provide identification prior to entering a property for a showing or making an offer on such property.
When accompanied and/or represented by a licensed real estate professional, the licensee must present either their own or their client’s picture identification.
Please note that although FIND Real Estate may require certain information or documentation, a seller, landlord, or third party in the transaction may elect to waive or modify such requirements for their property and/or as part of any offer.
Exclusive Broker Agreement
No exclusive brokerage agreement is required of a Buyer or Renter prior to the rendition of brokerage services, except where such Buyer or Renter inquires about a property that offers a below-market commission rate. In such circumstances, an exclusive agreement may be required.
In all other circumstances, associated licensees are encouraged to solicit exclusives from Buyers or Renters; however, to the extent exclusives are solicited, they must be uniformly solicited from all Buyers or Renters inquiring about the same property.
Any prospective Buyer and agent may mutually agree to enter into an exclusive buyer representation agreement.
Pre-Approval / Proof of Funds
Proof of funds is required from the Buyer or Renter (or from others involved in the transaction) prior to the delivery of any offers to purchase or rent by an associated licensee to the homeowner or such homeowner’s listing agent. Verification of the source of income is not required.
Please note that although FIND Real Estate may not require certain information or documentation, a seller, landlord, or third party in the transaction may require such information prior to showing their property and/or as part of any offer.
