First of all, YPN stands for Young Professionals Network.
Now that we've cleared that up, let's talk about the
Y: Young...the target group is Realtors and affilliates under age 40, but everyone is welcomed. This is important because gets a new demographic of industry types involved.
P: Professionals...our industry struggles with keeping the standard high when the market around us is so challenging. With approximately half the market being distressed sales, we all have to work that much harder to sell homes, keep them together, and see them through to closing. With more and more of the transactions being conducted on line (via e-mail) an not in person, the level of care and professionalism can become a problem.
N: Network...It's a great to meet each other face to face and actually connect! When you're in the middle of a tough transaction, it's easier to keep it together when you know the person on the other side. As younger and often times newer agents to the industy, it's a way for to connect and even brainstorm.
