Job Description
The Garay-Michaud Team at SERHANT. is seeking a full-time, in-person Executive Assistant
to support Jake Garay — a top-producing real estate broker, team leader and the founding agent for SERHANT. in the Hudson Valley. This is not your average admin job. It’s a dynamic, high-impact opportunity to step into a key operational role and work directly with a growth-driven leader at the forefront of real estate innovation.
As our Executive Assistant, you’ll be the backbone of our operations — managing calendars, communication, internal systems, and follow-through across the team. You’ll help keep our fast-moving team aligned, organized, and on track as we scale toward our ambitious goals. You’ll also gain insider exposure to real estate strategy, team leadership, and the systems that drive a $100M+ per year real estate sales business.
We operate with a mindset of Ownership, Innovation, and Growth, and we’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment. You’ll be surrounded by motivated professionals and a team that values high standards, creative thinking, and personal development.
What Makes Us Different
We’re not just selling homes — we’re advisors transforming how real estate is done. You’ll work directly with a recognized leader in the tri-state market and a founding member of SERHANT’s national expansion. Our team is deeply rooted in the Hudson Valley and Westchester, with a client-first, service-obsessed culture. We’re scaling quickly — this is a chance to be part of something big, bold, and growing.
