About
Young professionals are the future of the real estate business. But in a field where the average age is 52, younger real estate practitioners often strive for a way to connect with each other and tap into valuable resources that will help them succeed in business.
REALTOR® Magazine launched the Young Professionals Network in 2006 as a way to help the younger generation of REALTORS® build a stronger link with the magazine and the real estate industry, in general.
Through national networking events, a lively blog, and an information-packed Web site, REALTOR® Magazine’s Young Professionals Network gives its members the tools they need toadvance their careers — and have fun in the process!
In 2009, YPN National began to approve local & state chapter of the organization. At the time of application, there were six approved YPN chapters nationally – with only two chapters along the eastern seaboard.
