It’s a pipeline for future leaders at the local, state and national levels, and according to the latest data, 350 REALTOR® associations report having one. To jumpstart your own thriving Young Professionals Network, try this:

  • Invite a National Association of REALTORS® YPN Advisory Board member to your association— at no cost to you!—to help launch or restart your YPN or to speak at a YPN event. Just fill out the form.
  • Encourage your YPN members to join the conversation in their dedicated Facebook group.
  • Show them to The Lounge, the NAR blog written by YPN members for YPN members. Recent topics have included how to use failure as motivation, the power of video in branding and marketing, and how to correctly and effectively use a customer management system.

State and local YPNs can also work toward submitting their applications in August for the YPN Network of the Year Awards. The awards are presented each year at NAR NXT.
