Voters Weigh in Online, Tap Two NVAR Members in Realtor® Magazine’s ’30 Under 30’ 

Realtors® Daan DeRaedt, with RE/MAX Allegiance, and Ron Mangas, Jr., with TTR Sotheby’s International, were named to Realtor® Magazine’s 2014 list of “30 Under 30.” DeRaedt and Mangas are among the young professionals selected to represent the diversity of real estate markets, specialties, and niches across the U.S. and Canada. They were chosen for their dedication to industry improvement, professionalism and customer service.

L. A professional tennis player in Belgium prior to becoming a Realtor®, DeRaedt said that he understands the value of hiring a coach. He credits the Mike Ferry Organization with providing a guiding influence over his career. “I will never forget when my coach challenged me to always speak with integrity,” DeRaedt said. “From that day forward, I never made a promise to a client I couldn’t keep, and increased my commitment to the service I provide.”  

R. Harnessing his passion for modern architecture while recovering from a debilitating accident, Mangas vowed to completely shift his business model and sell what he loved. “Do not be afraid to commit to a specific niche,” Mangas said. “Stay focused, start small and keep looking ahead. In my early years, I focused on a particular neighborhood. It was a successful niche; but only after I added the ingredient of ’doing what you love every day,’ did I begin to realize a brighter career, with a feeling of immeasurable potential.”
