Yon Soon Yoon arrived in the United States four decades ago from Korea, where she worked for the Economic Planning Board of Korea as a consumer price index specialist. In California, Yon Soon has grown professionally through a series of responsible positions in advertising, marketing, banking, and service industries while completing a small business management program. As she continues her professional development, she is currently earning a life coaching certificate. Devoted to learning and serving her community, she became a realtor with the goal of making a meaningful impact.
Career highlights include managing the purchase, sale, and exchange between the Korean Community Christian Church (Telegraph Avenue, Oakland) and the Church of the Nazarene (Redwood Road, Oakland). This remarkably complex $7.5 million transaction required extensive experience and skilled negotiation. As a result, over 100 members of KCCC now enjoy spacious parking with spectacular Bay Area views and a beautiful sanctuary. A portion of the church property is leased to a local preschool serving over 100 children, with rental income more than covering mortgage payments.
Through decades of community service, Yon Soon has built an extensive network of personal and business contacts that enables her to advocate effectively for her clients’ interests. One client expressed deep appreciation for Yon Soon’s dedication during their Albany home purchase. Despite their budget constraints, Yon Soon tirelessly advocated on their behalf, understanding that without her efforts, they would have no chance. Her persistence helped them secure their Albany home in summer 2025—they truly felt she worked for them.
Another noteworthy transaction closed in November 2025 involving property owned by a former business associate who had passed away. The home was sold by his daughter, with both buyer and seller expressing that the property went to a very special buyer through exceptional agents.
A long-time Berkeley resident and proud parent of two children and two grandchildren, Yon Soon actively serves at Korean Community Christian Church and the Cancer Support Group. She is fair, patient, and a good listener with a delightful sense of humor. Most of all, she is genuinely loyal—once you become her friend, you have gained a sincere friend for life.
