Build Your Career
We are proud of our team of over 200 professionals. Our growth is based on choosing outstanding individuals who will enjoy, participate and benefit from our corporate culture.
THE STEPS BELOW ARE A GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN YOUR PLANNING:
- Talk with agents in the business. By asking questions of active agents, you will get valuable insight as to whether a career in real estate is ideal for you.
- Be financially prepared. There are several costs associated with building your career in real estate. These include real estate school and state exam, NJ license fee. Joining real estate associations and a multiple listing service are also necessary. We feel an investment in a notebook computer can be instrumental to your short term success in the business. It is also our experience that new associates should not expect to see any revenue for a minimum period of 120 days. Be aware of additional costs that some firms charge including trading, start-up material, office registration, set-up and monthly administrative fees. Jordan Baris, Inc. charges no such fees.
- Establish a relationship with a real estate broker like Jordan Baris, Inc. Interview with several firms. You may begin the interview process before beginning real estate school. All real estate salespersons must be affiliated with a real estate broker. Click here for questions to ask when interviewing a broker. Interview with us and we may potentially provide a partial scholarship.
- Enroll in real estate school. This is a 75-hour salesperson’s pre-license course.
- Passing the state exam is required.
- Get started in your new firm. Training will assist you in developing skills that leading to success. Start personal marketing and contacting your sphere of influence. You want to ensure everyone knows you have begun your real estate career. Participate in Jordan Baris training, sales meetings, caravans, and other activities. Build relationships with clients, fellow agents, and others you know who can send you referrals.
- Your Jordan Baris manager will assist you in creating a business plan which will be your blueprint to success.

Richard's vast knowledge of the market, incredible attention to detail, and kindness were pivotal in making a quick sale at a very reasonable offer. He was with us every step of the way, no detail overlooked, day and night. And certainly impressive feat during COVID. If you're looking for someone who will make you feel instantly confident and comfortable from the get-go, and get the results you're looking for, look no further than Richard!

It was such a pleasure to work with Carol when buying our first home! We had never gone through the experience and she helped us out every step of the way. After narrowing down our search and thinking we found “it” online, we booked a showing with Carol. When scheduling the appointment, she had suggested to look at a few more for properties for reference, since we would already be in the area. And what would you know - one of those added to the list for reference was “it”! With Carol’s extensive contacts, we were able to assemble a great team including our lawyer and mortgage broker to make the process as easy as can be. Those are just a few from of a long list of many reasons to have Carol as your realtor - her experience and expertise is what led us to find our perfect home!

Carol is the one you want to assist you when purchasing or selling. She listed our home and we had an offer within four days. She is a pleasure to work with. Superbly qualified in her craft, she has all the necessary resources to make selling or purchasing a home as hassle free as one can make it. From repairs to staging to closing; she is on-top of it. Thanks Carol!

We had such a wonderful experience with Rich Mair. He found us our forever home after looking at so many houses. He was very helpful in picking the house that was perfect for our family and had a nice yard for our son to play in. We thought we found a home until realizing it needed more work than we could handle as first home buyers. He was patient in helping us find the best home for our families needs. We are so happy in our new house and thankful to Rich for his professionalism and patience. Highly recommend his services.

I truly enjoyed working with Rich! He's so patient (even during my indecisiveness :) and a consummate professional always. Rich's expertise is unmatched and he taught me so much about real estate. He was always responsive and engaged, making my home selling process very smooth and manageable. I had so much going on at the time and really appreciated Rich's steadfastness. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home! Thank you so much Rich!

Carol was amazing to work with. She listened to what we needed and wanted in house and was urgent about getting us in those homes to view. She was available and accommodating when we had questions and needed to discuss what we were thinking during each step of the process. If you are looking for a realtor that will advocate for you and keep the process moving, we highly recommend working with Carol. She knows the market, different areas and is very knowledgeable. We started working with Carol September 2020 and closed on our home at the end of October 2020. God blessed us with a great realtor to help us get a home that fits our family. Thank you Carol!

I had the pleasure of working with Carol when I sold my condo. I had moved a distance from the location of the property and was impressed by Carol's willingness to help out when needed, so she could save me the trip. This along with her kindness and professionalism makes it very comfortable for me to highly recommend her services.

We had a great experience finding our new home with Carol. It's been a very tough market and we kept changing out search criteria, moving from town to town. Carol is very kind, patient, and prompt about scheduling and showed up early at each house. She pulled reports for each town to help us make more informed decisions. We never felt overly pressured, she seemed to have our best interest at heart.
Thank you for being a great partner!

Carol was an absolute pleasure to work with. After over 2 years of looking and several agents, Carol was the one who got the deal done! She has great knowledge of the NJ communities of interest, great relationships with other agents, was flexible with my hectic schedule, always responsive, and communicative. She had a great relationship with the sellers agent and helped to negotiate several details. She was on top of all the details of the close from offer to even post close with what was need for utilities and community details. I would recommend Carol to anyone!

I found myself in a situation with a family home that was now being rented. I called a realtor and his vision and interest was not there. I decided to call Jordan Baris (the company we used to buy this home) and received a call from a friendly voice who immediately told me not to worry. The situation was difficult and required someone who was knowledgeable, level headed and knew how to deal with difficult people. She truly cares about people and did everything to turn this situation around. It resulted in the home finally selling for much more than the first person I called. I will always be grateful to Blossom for her kindness, strength and determination. I consider her friend and would recommend her to anyone who needs more than a realtor. Thank you Blossom.

We had a great experience working with Rich. He is very patient, responsive, and cares about his clients and their needs. From the first time we connected via Zillow to our ultimate purchase in Florham Park, NJ, Rich was an excellent source of knowledge about the area (East Orange, West Orange, Florham Park and others), he was proactive in connecting with the sellers' agents, timely in his feedback to us and continued to look for properties that would meet our needs. He was also instrumental in getting us in touch with our local real estate attorney, he worked tirelessly with our lending organization and effectively guided us through the entire process. He even went over and above by helping us with moving our cars from Texas to New Jersey, he personally worked with the moving company on taking delivery, which was a huge help that cannot be truly captured with words. We highly appreciate everything Rich did and continues to do and would highly recommend him. If and when we are ready to go through this process again, we would most definitely be reaching out to Rich. Thank you Rich, much appreciated.

Richard was very helpful in helping me purchase my first home. He was easy to reach and responded promptly to inquiries. He offered me a lot of advice to aid my home buying. His friendliness made working with him a pleasure. He was very patient with my whole family when we sent him long lists of properties to check and helped us make appointments to see the houses quickly.
