About YPN

The Young Professionals Network (YPN) is an organization that helps young real estate professionals excel in their careers by giving them the tools and encouragement to become successful in their career.

The YPN began in 2006 and was started by REALTOR® Magazine as a way to help the younger generation of REALTORS® build a stronger link with the real estate industry. In 2009, YPN began to expand its network by encouraging local and state associations to use the YPN model to start their own young professional’s network. In 2011, the Long Island Board of REALTORS® proudly  joined the YPN movement and established a YPN chapter for Long Island that supports members in Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties.

Young professionals represent the future of the real estate industry.  Members of the YPN represent the next generation of leaders in our association and our community.  Learn how you can get involved with the Long Island Chapter of YPN by  clicking here.
