BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO

30 Under 30: Against the Odds

Meet the 30 Under 30 class of 2009 and learn how they're winning in today's market.

By Wendy Cole, G.M. Filisko, Wilma Gonzalez, Kristine Hansen, Karen Springen, Robert Sharoff, and Katherine Tarbox

Our Class of 2009 is focused, energetic, and upbeat. Its members are driven by youthful optimism, no doubt. But they’re also embracing innovation and seeking out knowledge when they don’t know the answer. If there’s one thing this year’s honorees share, it’s an ability to adapt quickly to the fast-changing real estate environment without losing an ounce of passion for what they do. In any generation, that’s a true gift.
