Over the last year, the real estate industry has continued to see unprecedented sales growth and consumer demand, all during a time when the pandemic has caused people to shift lifestyles and mindsets.
The finalists in the running for REALTOR® Magazine’s 30 Under 30 class of 2022 did not let obstacles in a changing world stand in their way. These 50 young real estate professionals leveled up their business—many going all-in for their clients, their communities, or their team members. Some doubled down on being change-makers for the underserved, aiming to close economic and housing gaps. Others let go of their fears and took bold steps to grow both their professional careers and personal lives. Their stories include overcoming homelessness, starting charities, and becoming unrelenting in their service-first attitude. They’re not just in tune with clients’ needs; they’re educating and empowering their sphere to access housing.
