I had lunch with an extraordinary group of inspiring young professionals today. Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska YPN Chapters are starting to blossom. YPN aspires to develop, connect, and unite the next generation of community real estate leaders.

Issues faced by young professionals in the real estate industry was one of our topics. We also spoke about what it will take to grow, cultivate, engage, and retain young professional leadership. It is uplifting to see young creative minds at work. There really is a huge difference between the mindset of younger agents and the agenda of the leaders today. Three real estate companies were represented and none fought for an agenda set by their corporate offices. It was unique to see how the younger generation of real estate professionals work for each other instead of against.

I would encourage any professional under 40 to join their local YPN chapter. If you don't have a chapter, ask your real estate association when they plan to start one.

After finding your clients the perfect house and giving them information on community, school, church, health connections, etc., how do you help them find and develop friendships? One of the great things about Omaha is the people--friendly, caring, helpful---so after your clients have relocated to Omaha, many will appreciate information about organizations that welcome new people to Omaha. Two such organizations in Omaha are New Neighbors League and New Friends. Both offer opportunities to become involved with people who have “been in their shoes”. They are groups welcoming new people who were once new to Omaha themselves. They know what they are going through in trying to develop new friendships. These organizations offer instant opportunity to get involved in:

card groups
bunco
dinner groups
social functions
play groups
luncheons
coffees
book clubs
philanthropy

So do your client a favor and make sure that you point out opportunities to help them with their emotional and social health after moving. If you are a long time resident of Omaha or have grown up here, sometimes we might miss this important piece in helping someone to feel connected.
