Ohio REALTORS® Wins NAR YPN State Network of the Year Award
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has recognized Ohio REALTORS® Young Professionals Network (YPN) as the 2026 State Network of the Year!
The award was presented Friday, November 5, during the NAR NXT YPN Mixer. We are honored to be recognized for our innovation and the leadership of young professionals helping shape the future of the real estate industry!
Throughout 2026, Ohio REALTORS® YPN has worked to increase awareness and engagement through education, networking, leadership opportunities and collaboration with local associations across the state. At the 2026 Winter Conference, YPN sponsored the continuing education session, “The Smart Real Estate Toolkit: Essential Tech for Today’s Professional,” providing practical education to members while increasing the network’s visibility among hundreds of attendees.
YPN also continued its partnership with RPAC through a co-sponsored event at the Annual Convention & EXPO. The event gives members an opportunity to build relationships with their peers and association leaders while learning more about the role RPAC and advocacy play in protecting the real estate industry and homeownership.
Ohio REALTORS® YPN continues to prioritize professional development and leadership opportunities, providing an important entry point into REALTOR® leadership. The network serves as a statewide connection point, leadership pipeline and resource for the next generation of REALTORS®.
YPN is a member-driven organization that helps young real estate professionals excel in their careers by providing the tools and encouragement to get involved in their REALTOR® associations, the real estate industry, their professional networks and their communities.
