✨ YPN Member Spotlight ✨

Meet Katie McCowen, a real estate agent who’s all about relationships, community, and making the experience way more than just a transaction.

☕ Go-to drink: Chai tea latte (vanilla… or pumpkin when it’s that time of year)
🎧 Pump-up song: Richman by 3OH!3 — a little throwback energy before a big showing always hits.

When she’s not working, Katie loves getting outside for a good hike and exploring different parts of Wisconsin — no matter the season. 🌲

Her best advice in real estate:
💡 “Don’t treat people as a transaction. Treat them as a relationship, and it will bloom into opportunities you never thought were possible.”

Katie’s favorite homes to show?
🏡 Character homes — the ones with quirks, charm, and details you just don’t see anymore.

Thinking about joining YPN?
👉 “Do it. The community is one of the best I’ve come across — everyone is so helpful and collaborative.”

And if her real estate career had a movie title?
🎬 “She Wasn’t From Here… So She Became the Local Expert.”

Meet Payton Krueger, bringing heart, positivity, and a client-first mindset to everything she does in real estate.

☕ Go-to drink: Caramel latte or an Alani
🎧 Pump-up music: Anything 90s country — because honestly, it just hits every time.

When she’s not working, Payton loves heading up north with family or spending time out on the boat — classic Wisconsin summer energy. 🚤

Her best advice in real estate:
💡 “Never compare where you are to others in the industry. Keep your head up and focus on what you’re doing next to move yourself forward.”

Payton especially loves working with:
🏡 First-time homebuyers and investment properties — helping people take those big steps is what it’s all about.

Thinking about joining YPN?
👉 “Just do it! The group we have is truly so special and I’m so grateful to be a part of it — so worth it.”

And if her real estate career had a movie title?
🎬 “More Than a Purchase” — because every client’s story becomes part of hers, and it’s never just a transaction.

Meet Whitney Walczyk, bringing fun energy, creativity, and a love for the little details to the real estate world.

💧 Go-to drink: Just water! (her words… “lame,” but honestly, we respect it 😄)
🎧 Pump-up music: Dance pop and high-energy funk pop — from Prince’s Baby I’m a Star to Makeba.

When she’s not working, Whitney is all about soaking up Wisconsin’s seasons — paddleboarding on the bay and searching for beach glass in the summer, then hitting the slopes in the winter. 🌊❄️

Her go-to advice in real estate:
💡 “Work hard, be humble, and celebrate after all is said and done. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!”

Whitney loves homes with personality —
🏡 think wallpaper, bold tile, and funky details that make a space stand out.

Thinking about joining YPN?
👉 Whitney’s tip: come to an event and meet at least two new people. It’s a welcoming, inclusive group that makes it easy to connect and have fun.

Meet Nicole Riordan, bringing personality, humor, and a collaborative spirit to the real estate world.

☕ Go-to drink: Bubblr!
🎧 Pump-up song:Shut Up and Dance by WALK THE MOON — the kind of song that instantly puts you in a good mood before a showing.

When she’s not working, Nicole loves getting out fishing — simple, classic Wisconsin fun. 🎣

Her best piece of advice in real estate:
💡 “Don’t be a poptart agent!” (aka… don’t just pop in and out — build real relationships).

Nicole’s go-to properties to show?
🏡 Single-family homes — the heart of what so many buyers are looking for.

When it comes to YPN, she says it’s been one of the best parts of her career — a place where agents truly collaborate, support each other, and create something bigger than just competition. And if you’re a little shy? Don’t worry… they’ll bring out your extrovert side.

And if her real estate career had a movie title?
🎬 Realtor Interrupted — because, let’s be honest… the phone is always ringing.

Our last stop for Hunger Awareness week was Paul's Pantry! We spent the morning helping give back to our Green Bay Area community! Thanks to everyone who showed up this week and helped make a difference in all the different areas of NE Wisconsin!

Day 2 Hunger Awareness week at Feeding America! We had the best time with everyone and helped package 3500 pounds of food yesterday morning. Lots of fun was had with some new and returning faces. Thanks to everyone who showed up 😊
