Jenni Utz, Broker of Utz Real Estate in Westminster, Md has been named to the “30 Under 30” Class of 2012 by the editors of REALTOR Magazine.

Each year, the magazine recognizes 30 young practitioners who are making a mark in the real estate industry through success in real estate sales, business management, leadership, or community service. This year’s honorees are featured in the May/June 2012 issue of the magazine.

“I am always astonished to see the '30 Under 30' professionals every year and all that they have achieved in such a short amount of time,” said National Association of Realtors^® President Moe Veissi in a May 16 statement.

“What amazes me the most about this year’s class is how they recognize there is no one formula for winning in real estate. They have discovered success their own way and display the dedication and hardworking spirit all Realtors possess. As Realtors we are constantly evolving with the market and it’s important to recognize these young people and learn from them, as they are the future of the real estate profession,” said Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc., in Miami.

Leadership seems to come naturally to Jenni Utz, GRI, 28, who knew from the start of her real estate career that she wanted to own a brokerage. To increase her visibility, she became involved in her local and state association, completing the state association’s leadership academy in 2011. Today, she sits on the Carroll County Association of REALTORS board—and she gives back to the community through both the association and her church. Her growing company now includes ten associates, a property management division, and a handyman division.

“It is such an honor to be named to the 2012 “30 Under 30” Class,” Utz says, “this accomplishment shows that with hard work, any dream is within reach.”
