The candidates in the running for REALTOR® Magazine’s 30 Under 30 class of 2021 didn’t lose momentum with their business during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, they gained ground.

Among the finalists are those who—aside from earning recognition as young real estate leaders—support rural communities, help veterans become homeowners, and educate underserved groups about building wealth through homeownership. Despite their age, some have worked in the business for a decade, own and operate their own brokerage, or have established themselves as well-known community organizers. Several can be described as “go-givers” with strong charitable commitments.

Whether they’re helping clients their age or three times older, these real estate professionals come from a place of service. They’ve adapted to working in a global pandemic, not just in the communication tools they use but also by setting out to fully understand their clients’ needs and deescalate the pressures of a low-inventory market. They put one foot in front of the other each day to make their way through industry obstacles and provide incomparable service to customers.

Voting is now closed: Online voting in the Web Choice Award contest started Friday, March 12, at noon Central time and closed Friday, March 19, at noon Central time. Members of the public were able to cast a vote for their favorite finalists by giving them a “like.” Participants were able to vote once each day per candidate.

The finalist who receives the most votes is guaranteed a spot in this year’s 30 Under 30, will be named the Web Choice Award winner, and will receive special recognition in an online article. Judges will select the other 29 honorees from the field of finalists. (Edit: This year’s 30 Under 30 honorees, along with the Web Choice winner, were announced on Monday, March 22, and will be featured in the May-June print issue of REALTOR® Magazine.)
