YPN is a member-driven organization that helps young real estate professionals excel in their careers by giving them the tools and encouragement to become involved in four core areas:
• REALTOR® associations. Attend REALTOR® conferences and pursue leadership roles with their local, state, and national associations.
• Real estate industry. Take an active role in policy discussions and advocacy issues; be informed about the latest industry news and trends.
• Peers. Network and learn from one another by attending events, participating in online communication, and seeking out mentoring opportunities.
• Community. Become exceptional members of their community by setting a high level of REALTOR® professionalism and volunteering for causes they feel passionate about.
The Young Professionals Network is a dynamic entry point for real estate professionals striving to become more successful in their careers and gain leadership experience. By providing this entry
point, NAR is building a new, diverse generation of leaders, strengthening members' affinity for the REALTOR® brand
early in their career, and gaining a valuable perspective on generational shifts. YPN's growth has been driven by REALTORS®.
YPN has evolved from a magazine offshoot to a determined, passionate, savvy group of members who use social media effectively and transparently and who are committed to
strengthening the REALTOR® brand.
