This year, I’m honored to share that I’ve been recognized as one of the Leading 100 honorees in Silicon Valley, ranking #20 among the top real estate professionals in 2025.
The Leading 100 is one of the most respected industry lists, spotlighting agents not for marketing flair but for actual results—transaction volume and total sales achieved over the past year. In 2024, I closed $127M+ in sales, a milestone that reflects not just numbers on paper, but the trust and confidence my clients continue to place in me.
Looking back, I still remember the excitement of making my first industry ranking nearly a decade ago. Each milestone since has been a reminder of both hard work and the trust my clients place in me. But this recognition feels different. Not because of the number itself—but because of the perspective that comes with it.
More Than a Ranking: People Over Numbers
After years of consistent recognition, I’ve learned that the true reward isn’t the spotlight. It’s not the placement on a list. It’s the quiet, powerful moment when a client says, “I’m so glad we chose you.”
Real estate has always been about people, not properties. Every family, every individual I’ve worked with carries a story—hopes, challenges, and dreams of their next chapter. My role has never been to simply “sell houses.” It’s to guide, advise, and protect my clients’ best interests—even if it means telling them to walk away from a deal that doesn’t serve them long-term.
That’s what keeps me rooted in this work.
Crafting Homes That Speak to Buyers
One area that sets our team apart is how we prepare homes for the market. We don’t believe in surface-level fixes or over-the-top remodels. Instead, we focus on strategic, thoughtful renovations—updates that maximize a home’s value while staying aligned with the likely buyer’s needs.
From reimagining kitchens to boosting curb appeal, every decision is intentional. Our team debates color palettes, layout tweaks, and even the smallest design details late into the night, because we know those decisions matter. When buyers walk through the door, the home should feel right.
And when it does, the results speak for themselves.
A Team That Makes It All Possible
None of this recognition would exist without the powerhouse team behind me. From contractors who show up rain or shine, to stagers who bring warmth and character into every room, to marketing experts who ensure each listing reaches the right audience—our success is built on collaboration, trust, and shared commitment.
We treat every home like it’s our own, pouring care into the details buyers rarely see. That’s the heart of our process.
The Words That Matter Most
Every so often, a message from a client reminds me why I do this work more than any award ever could. Recently, one said:
“Honestly, Yvonne, over the past 12 years you’ve helped us buy and sell four homes (two bought, two sold). I always tell friends how lucky we are to have you — you’re not just our agent, you’re our lifelong advisor. You’ve made every step of the process smooth, smart, and stress-free, every single time.”
Another shared:
“Without reservation, I give Yvonne Yang my highest recommendation. They are simply outstanding.”
It’s words like these—not a rank on a list—that fill me with pride. Because at the end of the day, rankings rise and fall. The market shifts. Numbers change. But the relationships built, the trust earned, and the lives touched—that’s the legacy that lasts.
Moving Forward
As I celebrate this Top 20 recognition—and the milestone of $127M+ in 2024 sales—I also see it as motivation to keep raising the bar. Not for accolades, but for the people who trust me with one of life’s most important decisions.
So here I am, 22 years in—still learning, still working, still showing up. One home, one client, one story at a time.
