Duties Description Real Estate Specialist 1’s may be filled through a two-year traineeship, beginning as a Real Estate Specialist Trainee 1 equivalent to salary grade 13. The traineeship leading to a Real Estate Specialist 1 provides the opportunity to learn in depth Real Estate Appraisal, Acquisition and Negotiation procedures and Property Management as it relates to the NYS Eminent Domain Procedure Law and Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act. After completion of one year of satisfactory service as Real Estate Specialist Trainee 1, appointee would advance to a Real Estate Specialist Trainee2, equivalent to salary grade 14, and after one year of satisfactory service as a Real Estate Specialist Trainee 2, appointee will advance to the journey level Real Estate Specialist 1. A Real Estate Specialist 1 works in a Right of Way Office under the direction of a Real Estate Specialist 2. Duties involve determining the value of properties to be appropriated for public use, management of such properties, negotiating financial settlements with affected parties, relocating impacted residential and commercial occupants, and administering outdoor advertising control regulations. The duties of this position may require considerable travel and field work within Region 10 and may require travel and field work for assignments outside of the region. At the time of appointment and continuously thereafter, possession of a valid license to operate a motor vehicle in New York State is required or the ability to meet the travel requirement of the position must otherwise be demonstrated.

Additional Comments *For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title may be filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At this time, agencies may recruit and hire employees by making temporary appointments. In June 2024, if a temporary NY HELPS employee is satisfactorily performing in the position, the appointment will be changed from temporary pending Civil Service Commission Action to permanent non-competitive and the official probationary period will begin.At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.

Some positions may require additional credentials or a background check to verify your identity.
