We Are MN - Jona FloresThough Jona Flores has only been a Realtor® for four years,  she is already making waves in the real estate community. Jona was selected for NAR's 2021 30 Under 30 for not only her strong dedication to the industry, but also for her commitment to the community.


Jona sees volunteering as her social responsibility, and is deeply passionate about being proactive in addressing the issues affecting communities and people across the state - including ending homelessness and bridging the racial housing gap in Minnesota.


It was during a speech from MAR (Minneapolis Area Realtors) CEO Carrie Chang that inspired Jona to get more involved with the MAR Foundation, whose mission is to partner with and provide support for local organizations that work to end homelessness in our community, and work to help address the issue.


Before the pandemic hit, Jona was a  volunteer with Simpson housing, serving meals to community members experiencing homeless and would also hold food drives at MAR’s Young Professionals Network (YPN) events. While the pandemic has put this work on hold, Jona still actively looks for ways to help out those in need.


Amidst the civil unrest last spring, Jona sprang into action to help with clean-up efforts and led a fundraising drive with fellow Re/Max Realtors® to provide immediate food and supplies needed in communities.
