Annual TopGolf event attendees enjoy some friendly competition on who drives the best when it comes to golf!

THE NVAR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS NETWORK (YPN) finished the year strong with several successful events, including two panel discussions, a TopGolf outing, and an “ugly sweater” holiday happy hour. In store for 2020 is expanded YPN collaboration with NVAR groups and local Realtor® associations across the region to host networking, educational and give-back events for all members – whether young in age, young in the business or simply young at heart.
