Senat will stay in New Jersey and focus on real estate in what is currently one of the most competitive and dynamic markets in the U.S. As part of top producer Roy Clipper’s Clipper Group, he will specialize in luxury real estate in Bergen County.
“I think for a lot of professional athletes in general, not just NFL players, when the game inevitably ends, you don’t necessarily really have a plan. There’s a lot of ‘accept it,”’ Senat said. “One minute you’re playing in front of thousands of people and the next minute it’s over. Now, it’s like you have to start all over again.”
Throughout his NFL career, Senato said he has tried to experience different industries to prepare himself for the day football is over.

“I’ve always loved real estate. I picked the brain of my long-time friend, Roy Clipper, who is a very successful real estate agent here. What is it like to be a real estate agent? The life of a real estate agent. “I just wanted to know what it’s like to be successful. What do they do and how do they succeed?” “So I settled into real estate. I started getting my license last year and completed it at the beginning of this year.”
Senat, a Long Island native who has lived in northern New Jersey for almost three years since signing with the New York Jets, said Bergen County was a natural choice for him to pursue a real estate career.
“I think New Jersey is very underrated, and Bergen County is very underrated,” he said. “It’s a booming area. It’s very close to the city. There are a lot of successful, young, wealthy people here. I think it’s just a great environment to grow your business and make connections. And the people you meet here, it’s just a great environment. They’re from everywhere, they’re doing everything.”
Senato also credits his time in the NFL with helping him develop skills that can be applied to the industry, even though it wasn’t directly related to real estate. Discipline, time management and the ability to work with people from all walks of life are all qualities that will make him successful in North Jersey real estate, he said.

He says it involves a lot more than just showing customers around properties and collecting fees, he says, including contracts, depreciation, making offers, negotiations, inspections, and more.
Senat is currently working with clients under Clipper’s guidance while expanding his own client network in Bergen County. And while he said he’s currently doing his due diligence to learn every ins and out of the industry, he’s most looking forward to being an asset to other professional athletes in the area one day. said.
“New Jersey and New York State have a lot of teams around here and a lot of athletes in the Northern New Jersey area. I’ve been in the same position as them,” he said. “So if I can be an asset to them in the sports world or in the entertainment world, that’s a blessing. If I can grow and build with them, that’s the best thing for me.”
