LEGAL BENEFITS With just one call to the FREE NYSAR Legal Hotline, you’ve saved more than double your NYSAR dues.
Whether you’re a salesperson or a broker, new to the business or a veteran, our attorneys are on hand to provide one-on-one answers to your real estate-related legal questions. Answering questions on topics ranging from contracts and license law to commissions and agency disclosure, calling the Legal Hotline will not only save you both time and money, but will give you the peace of mind you need to confidently proceed with your business.
Live attorneys, 35 hours per week! You’ve told us how important the Legal Hotline is to you so we’ve made sure to keep this valuable service available to you seven hours per day, five days a week! Save money! A call to a real estate attorney costs anywhere from $200 to $750 an hour depending on what part of New York State you live in. Leave a message! If our attorneys are on another line during normal hotline hours, leave a voicemail and an attorney will return your call by the end of the next business day, or sooner. What members love: “The real estate industry is riddled with legal matters, many of which are perplexing to licensees. It is so convenient to be able to call NYSAR’s Legal Hotline for insight. This is a wonderful and much-needed member benefit.” – John Dilanni, NYSAR member since 1986
