Thirty-Year Veteran Real Estate Leader Joins the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Brand

The firm, now doing business as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Exclusive Properties, is led by its original founder and broker of record, Monis Young. Young has worked in New Jersey real estate for over 30 years, first beginning his career as a civil engineer before becoming a reputable custom home builder and eventually a broker. In addition to his background in construction, which has provided him with a robust network of developers, builders, and architects, Young also has extensive experience in real estate franchising.

Before joining the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate network, Young owned six franchise offices, comprising over 250 agents.

Young is joined by his son and CEO, Edan Young, a Rutgers University alumnus who has spent his entire professional career in the family business. Under the leadership of Monis and Edan, the firm has established a strong reputation throughout Bergen, Passaic, and Hudson counties for its adept assistance with residential sales, luxury homes, new construction, and development-related transactions.

After opening their doors nearly 20 years ago, the Youngs felt now was the optimal time to join the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate network, as it would allow for more strategic growth throughout northern New Jersey, particularly through selective recruiting, agent development, and enhanced brand strength. Even with a portfolio that spans thousands of transactions, the Youngs pride themselves on “quality over quantity,” which has defined their meticulous growth planning. After identifying and recruiting strong agents who can offer the same blend of technical understanding and market expertise that their existing agents have developed a reputation for, the Youngs plan to expand their physical footprint by opening additional offices throughout Bergen and Passaic counties.
