YPN is the Young Professionals Network of Realtors. What is the age limit to participate? YPN is a state of mind, we encourage Realtors of all ages to participate to share ideas and learn more about technology and cutting edge innovations. The young professionals have a lot to gain from our seasoned agents in the field. Furthermore, the seasoned agents can gain valuable insight from the younger generation of high-tech agents as well – this combination is a win-win for everyone. Why would I want to network with other Realtors? Your network and relationships with other Realtors in the field is imperative while negotiating contracts for your clients. You have a competitive edge if you know the listing agent while you are negotiating on behalf of your buyers and especially if your reputation in the marketplace is one of integrity and someone who consistently pre-approves buyers before showing them a variety of homes. Additionally, if you are a listing agent, buyers agents are more inclined to write offers on your listings if they know and are comfortable with you as a person. With that said, this is why Realtor networking events and touring still provide excellent venues to strengthen your reputation in the marketplace while helping your clients achieve success.
