Ivy Real Estate Education Center

Real estate licensing starts here. Ivy Real Estate Education Center offers the courses New York requires for salesperson and broker exams, plus continuing education to keep licenses current. Classes cover everything from property law to ethics, all taught by instructors who’ve worked in the city’s fast-moving market. The school keeps sessions small enough that questions get answered without waiting weeks for an email reply.

You’ll find the center on the seventh floor of 31 W 34th St., between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, a stretch packed with small offices and quick lunch spots. Midtown’s constant hum means the building entrance is easy to spot, and elevators run until late enough for evening classes. The neighborhood’s mix of transit lines makes it simple to reach from Brooklyn, Queens, or uptown without needing a car.

Scheduling a seat or checking course dates is quick when you call (212) 244-9898 during business hours. For directions before your first visit, pull up the map at this link. Most people pop in after work, so don’t expect empty halls—just bring a notebook and a MetroCard.
