President

Premiere Plus Realty

From the outside, a real estate brokerage may appear to be a group of people focused on selling homes. For Jillian Young, president of Premiere Plus Realty, it’s a far more personal experience.

“Real estate agents are small business owners themselves. In addition to helping the brokerage, I get to help 1,500 small business owners support their families doing what they love. Every decision we make is to benefit their ability to become better. When they get better, the brokerage wins,” Young says. “We’ve helped hundreds of newly licensed real estate agents leave their 9-5 and earn a full-time income from their business. We’ve had women in abusive relationships earn enough to leave a dangerous situation or put their child in the special needs school they couldn’t otherwise afford. Those agents are my inspiration to keep making our brokerage better and to help them reach their goals.”

In addition to helping her agents with their pursuits, Young serves on the board of the Pregnancy Resource Center. She also works with her company’s outreach group, PPR Cares, which coordinates “Serve Days” for the group to perform a variety of service projects in the community.
