Real Estate Agent Tom Yang of Realty Executives in the Twin Cities has built a solid reputation as a real estate agent his clients – both buyer and sellers – can count on to provide top-notch customer service.

Tom, a former Executive Chef and business consultant (he helped launch new businesses and guided them towards success and profitability) made his transition from those worlds into the real estate industry eight years ago with the encouragement of a friend. “We started talking and I told her I wanted to leave the restaurant world, and she suggested real estate. I took some time to think about it before taking the plunge and getting my license,” says Tom.

Currently working with his also-licensed wife Rania, Tom sells pretty much anywhere within the five counties surrounding the Twin City area, Tom is a top-producing agent who has been voted Super Real Estate Agent in the area. This is due mostly to his attention to detail, proven track record, and a strong devotion to his many clients. Tom is adept at providing his clients knowledge of specific areas and possesses the skills to make the deal work for the best interests of his clients.

With a large number of referrals clients, Tom is circumspect when asked why he thinks his customers keep returning to him for his services. “I think it comes down to my core values,” he says, “and at the end of the day it comes down to these values: honesty, patience, knowledge and reliability.”

A Certified Negotiation Expert, Tom utilizes his knowledge of the market and strong negotiation skills to make the buyer and selling process work in his client’s favor. “Negotiation is really the key,” he says. “Working with buyers and sellers, you have to be knowledgeable of the market, be aware of trends, the transition of the inventory.”

A Premier Agent on Zillow, Tom has racked up a stunning 59 five-star reviews on the popular website. Among them is this recent glowing testimonial: “Tom has been a huge help in selling our home and listing it for all to see. We were especially impressed that he not only used his professional contacts for listing but also social media to draw more attention to our home. We depended on Tom for knowledge on how to present our home for sale as well as things we needed to fix before inspection so we would have ample time to get it done. He helped us negotiate the price and let us know exactly what our home was worth. We would not have been able to get a great price on our home and such a smooth sale without Tom.”

When not working, Tom enjoys spending time with his wife and their five children, engaging in the simple pleasures of life. Gardening with his children is a particular passion. “Simply mowing the lawn, walking with my daughter and watching her pick flowers, that’s something I really love to do,” says Tom. He also occasionally volunteers to give talks at community gatherings for first-time home buyers.

Tom believes firmly that each client has a unique goal that deserves their undivided attention, and his greatest priority is to look out for their best interests, and will work with dedication to to make certain that their needs are at the forefront of every transaction.

Says Tom, “It’s important that I’m not just trying to sell them a home just to close a deal. I want them to be happy with their purchase. I want to find them the right home.”
