Asian Real Estate Professional Association, Inc.
About Asian Real Estate Professional Association, Inc.
Founded in late 1995 by Tony Huang and Patrick Yu—experienced real estate owners and managers whose families have maintained a presence in the real estate business for over four decades—the Asian Real Estate Professional Association, Inc. (AREPA) represents a unique community-driven approach to professional development in New York, NY. What began as a vision to create a dedicated forum for Asian professionals in real estate has evolved into a thriving non-profit association that welcomes anyone passionate about the industry, regardless of background or experience level.
AREPA's mission reflects its founders' deep commitment to community and mutual support. The organization exists to help its members navigate the challenges and changes inherent in real estate work, fostering an environment where professionals can learn, collaborate, and grow together. By bringing together developers, property owners, investors, service providers, accountants, attorneys, and brokers, AREPA creates meaningful connections that extend beyond traditional networking.
The organization's expansion to Boston in late 2021, under the leadership of Tony Huang and Rose Liu, demonstrates AREPA's commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive real estate community across the country. Membership remains open to anyone aligned with AREPA's values and goals, creating a welcoming space for established professionals and those beginning their real estate careers alike. Through educational initiatives, industry forums, and social events, AREPA continues its founding mission of building a supportive professional community rooted in shared experience and collective success.
