    About Chris Kwon

    As a former professional golfer, Chris Kwon learned his share of lessons on the links, the most important of which was to move forward, no matter how difficult the obstacle. Today, an Orange County, California native applies that lesson to his real estate dealings. And it's paying off: now in his 10th year as a real estate professional, he is ranked in the top 1% of agents in Orange County and nationally, delivers a 5-star experience and is passionate in delivering results. "It's so important that I'm exceptionally good at what I do because a persons home is one of the most important investments that an individual can make, says Kwon. I believe that I need to always sharpen my skills daily so I'm ahead of the curb and daily trends. I believe that I need to provide an overwhelming amount of value to my clients so their needs are taken care of and my business can thrive." Kwon's exceptional value manifests itself via the fact that he is a full-service provider for his clients. The Fine Arts and Graphic Design grad combines his keen artistic senses with his business acumen and flair for communication to create a powerful message for both sellers and buyers. Nowadays, professionals need to wear so many hats, Kwon says. We not only need to sell a product, we need to know how to market effectively, manage a transaction, personalities, handle problems, and provide solutions. Kwon has been married to the love of his life since May 2015 and is father to a eight-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son. In his spare time, his family enjoys traveling several times a year, cross fitting and making videos.

    Chris did a wonderful job navigating us through the selling process, even as we were in another state. Keeping us informed about open houses, forwarding communication from potential buyers, and being available to answer any of our questions were just some of Chris's professional qualities that made selling my mom's house a much easier process. Chris is easy to work with, and we highly recommend him.

    My husband and I met Yoon during an Open House visit. He is not a typical realtor in the sense that he is very thoughtful in his approach. If he does not know the answer to a particular question, he does not simply venture a guess. He will do his due diligence thorough research and get back to us with the correct answer whether it is good or bad. He does not craft his responses to fit his agenda. He has the integrity to put our needs ahead of his own. The most impressive trait is his follow up after we have already closed escrow on our new home. Most realtors would be busy trying to get the next sale. I was completely surprised by his willingness to go above and beyond in helping me with a wide range of tasks such as finding trustworthy vendors in various trades, asking for discounts on my behalf, setting up and meeting with them if I was not readily available in an effort to get my new house ready for me. He was knowledgeable and helpful in answering a myriad of questions I had. He was responsive all hours of the day and any day of the week. If he was busy, he never failed to return my call at his earliest convenience. In all honesty, he demonstrated a depth of character that I had not expected, but I am so grateful for. Yoon is genuine and sincere. I would not hesitate to work with him, and I would be proud to recommend him to my friends and family.

    I recently hired Yoon to lease out my investment property in West LA and it was an outstanding experience overall and yielded a phenomenal outcome. Before listing the home, Yoon took the initiative to suggest and manage all the necessary preparations, including doing minor repairs throughout the property and replacing the flooring. All these were high-ROI repairs and remodels that paid off big. He suggested listing the home at a rental rate that was almost 20% higher than zillow's suggested market rate. I was hesitant at first but I went with it and I am so happy I did. He was able to attract multiple, highly qualified applicants and with his help we secured the perfect tenant on a long term lease at a rental rate that I didn't think I'd be able to get. Throughout the whole process, his communication was clear, consistent, and proactive. He was also very responsive and always dependable. I never had to worry about a thing; he took care of each step, from marketing the property, handling all the private showings to managing the paperwork and screening all the tenants. Yoon truly went above and beyond, treating my property as if it were his own. I highly recommend him to any homeowner who values professionalism, market insight, and a genuine, hands-on approach!

    We can't thank Claire Chang enough for helping us find a rental property that truly feels like home and all on such short notice! From the moment we reached out, Claire was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right place. Her deep knowledge of the market, excellent communication, and ability to move quickly made the entire process seamless and stress-free. What impressed us most was her attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure everything was in place even under a tight timeline.

    I can't say enough good things about Yoon. He is hands down the best real estate agent Ive ever worked with (Ive used 4 prior, and have had many friends who had average experiences w their own). He recently helped us find and secure a luxury apartment in Brentwood, and the experience from start to finish was seamless, stress free, and incredibly professional. We were searching for something very specific: a high-end property with modern finishes, great natural light, located in a quiet and walkable neighborhood with secure parking and high-end amenities. Anyone who's done a property search in the West LA area recently knows how competitive and fast moving the market is, especially for higher end units given the recent events with the wildfires. Yoon immediately understood what we were looking for and didnt waste our time with places that didnt fit. He was extremely knowledgeable about the west LA market, had deep local insight into which buildings were worth touring, and had a clear strategy on how to act quickly and effectively once we found the right property. Thanks to his connections and quick action, we were able to secure a beautiful high rise apartment that checked all of our boxes, and he even helped us negotiate better lease terms in a tight market. Above all, he is honest, communicative, and truly had our best interests at heart. He never pushed, always listened, and was available to answer every question throughout the process. You can tell he takes pride in his work and treats each client like a top priority. For anyone looking for an agent in Irvine, OC or greater LA area whos smart, responsive, strategic, and genuinely trustworthy, I wouldnt hesitate for a second to recommend him. Well definitely be working with him again for our next purchase.
