Whether they’re educating underserved populations on the homebuying process, taking a professional leap by starting their own brokerage, proving their expertise to land investor clients, or advocating for mental health resources, this year’s class of 30 Under 30 have proven that they put 100% of their effort into every challenge they undertake. As housing advocates, these 30 young professionals are empowering their sphere to access housing. Some have even overcome homelessness and other housing barriers. And as real estate continues to see unprecedented sales growth and consumer demand, they’re doing all they can to meet their clients’ needs through exceptional service.
More than 300 young real estate practitioners applied for 30 Under 30 this year. In early March, a panel of judges narrowed the field to 50 finalists. Then, from March 14–18, members of the public cast a total of 41,109 votes during the weeklong Web Choice Award voting period. With 2,848 votes, Bri Brenkus of Keller Williams the Marketplace in Henderson, Nev., landed on top as the Web Choice winner, solidifying her place in the 30 Under 30 class. The other 29 honorees were selected by judges from the field of 50 finalists. Learn more about all 30 young professionals when their full profiles are published in a special digital edition of REALTOR® Magazine on June 27, which you’ll find at nar.realtor/magazine/30-under-30.
The mission of 30 Under 30 is to recognize young members of the National Association of REALTORS® who are doing extraordinary things in their businesses, associations, and communities in every part of the country.
Congratulations to the 2022 class of 30 Under 30:
