The mission of 30 Under 30 is to recognize young members of the National Association of REALTORS® who are achieving extraordinary things in their businesses, associations and communities in every part of the country.

The 2024 class of 30 Under 30 is a group of entrepreneurs characterized by their innovation, resilience, and dedication to serving their clients. They have demonstrated exceptional problem-solving skills and adaptability, overcoming challenges with poise and creativity. Some entered the field following life-altering experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, while others held a lifelong passion for effecting change and serving their communities through real estate opportunities.

They’ve persevered in a challenging market, laying the groundwork for the next wave of homeowners. Whether launching their own brokerages, bridging homeownership disparities through community engagement, or crafting ingenious marketing campaigns, these individuals have exhibited proactive, solution-oriented mindsets.

This year, approximately 300 young real estate practitioners applied for a spot in the esteemed 30 Under 30. In early March, a panel of judges narrowed the field to 50 finalists. Then, from April 3 to 10, the public cast 40,680 votes in the Web Choice Award voting.

Moti Shiferaw garnered 5,862 votes, emerging as the winner and securing his place in the 30 Under 30 class. The remaining 29 honorees were chosen by the judges from the pool of finalists. Discover more about the 25th class on June 24, when their individual profiles will be published in a special digital edition of REALTOR® Magazine. You may also read the profiles on the 30 Under 30 homepage.
