HGAR empowers members to grow, lead, and succeed in their businesses and communities
The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR) represents 13,000 professional REALTORS® who protect private property rights. For 107 years, we've dedicated ourselves to building a better future for the Hudson Valley and beyond. Our members abide by the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics. We are committed to fair housing and extensively educate our members so they can ethically serve the interests of everyone who needs a home.
The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® empowers our members to grow their businesses and succeed in their communities. We accomplish this goal through our four major divisions: OneKey® MLS, the HGAR School of Real Estate, our Commercial & Investment Division, and the Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation.
OneKey® MLS
HGAR co-owns and operates OneKey® MLS in partnership with the Long Island Board of REALTORS® (LIBOR) to enable our members to access to listings throughout the New York Metropolitan Area, from the Lower Hudson Valley to New York City to Long Island. If it's for sale or rent, it's likely to be on OneKeyMLS.com, our property search portal.
OneKey® MLS offers the freshest market data available and is the largest MLS in New York State.
School of Real Estate
HGAR’s School of Real Estate is one of the largest and most respected real estate schools in New York. Our instructors are actual brokers, attorneys, mortgage professionals, inspectors, and others who are currently working in the industry and offer real-world, practical guidance. We offer licensing and a wide array of continuing education classes, both live and online.
Our non-credit courses are fast-paced and packed with valuable information about how to make the most of MLS data, services and tools that both HGAR and the MLS offer to members.
Registration is open to all, regardless of membership. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner, new agent or somewhere in between, there’s a class for everyone. Knowledge is power and we look forward to helping you succeed.
Commercial & Investment Division
Our Commercial & Investment Division is open to both individuals and firms involved in the commercial real estate business. This includes brokers and salespersons, owners, managers, developers, lenders, attorneys, and others involved with any aspect of commercial property ownership, management, sale, leasing and exchange transactions.
We offer monthly events – both live and online – that tackle the industry’s leading topics including everything from new regional developments and economic forecasts to multi-family property challenges and legal issues. Our event panelists represent the best in our regional industry and our networking opportunities bring together professionals from every aspect of the commercial real estate sector.
In addition, we offer a specialized Women in Commercial Real Estate series, which is specific to women’s involvement in the industry.
Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation
The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation is the charitable arm of the Association, and over the years has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities and non-profits throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond. Our main focus is Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange counties, as well as the Bronx and Manhattan.
The Foundation holds fun and exciting events throughout the year to raise money and awareness about these organizations that give back to the local communities. In addition, the Foundation also offers many volunteer opportunities throughout the year, proving you with a “hands-on” experience at some of the organizations we support.
HGAR's 2024-2025 Strategic Plan
