Real estate is a deeply personal journey. You deserve a partner with strategy & heart.

Whether you are looking for your first San Francisco front door or saying goodbye to the home where you've built your life, real estate is a deeply personal journey. Tom believes you deserve a partner who balances high-level strategy with genuine heart.

As the son of Korean immigrants, Tom's journey started in his family's convenience store in East Los Angeles, a path that eventually led him from UC Berkeley to an MBA at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. Along the way, he spent 20 years leading marketing teams at tech icons like Meta, LinkedIn, and Intuit. Today, he combines that analytical rigor with a people-first approach to every transaction.

Now with Vanguard Properties — San Francisco's premier boutique brokerage — Tom brings genuine local expertise to buyers and sellers navigating one of the world's most complex real estate markets. Whether you're a first-time buyer decoding RSU income and vesting cliffs, or a growing family ready to upsize before the school year starts, Tom gets it.
