KK YONG

Patience, Passion, Perseverance


The 'Ah Gong Realtor' who became a successful Realtorpreneur


KK is the ultimate proof that one can have a successful career even when you’re over 55. All you need are ‘Passion, Patience and Perseverance' — three key values that KK swears and lives by.


An astute property investor himself, KK realised his passion for real estate and the exciting dynamics of the market while making his own initial investments and growing his portfolio.


This spurred him to get his real estate licence at the age of 55. His growth in the industry thereafter has been nothing but phenomenal. 


Any client, team-mate, or colleague of his will tell you that KK is an inspiration to all. He constantly demonstrates nothing but relentless passion, a positive attitude and amazing energy. 


As someone who’s always moving with the times, KK is among the minority of agents in the industry who are nicknamed “digital realtors”.


He’s adept and skilled at all the myriad forms of digital marketing used on platforms such as Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, and many others. 


When it comes to the know-how of lead generation and listings exposure, his track record speaks for itself: Less than 1% of KK’s deals come from his immediate circle of friends and relatives. 


All due to a constant flow of referrals and his knack for using digital technology to his advantage. 


That’s why KK’s list of clients is always fast-growing; something he is determined to keep at, nurture and strengthen.


As he is an older and more experienced professional — not just in realty but also in life — clients of KK will find that he’s able to tailor his advice for them in their unique decision-making process, having gone through the different stages of life and grown his own property portfolio over the years.


In addition, his decades of prior experience in professional accountancy and business development have given him a strong edge when it comes to providing advice and solutions for his clients. 


Although his children once asked him to slow down or stop working, KK says few things bring him greater joy and happiness than seeing his clients experience these two words: Financial Freedom. 


“It’s really so fulfilling and satisfying to see the joy and happiness in my clients when they open the doors to their new homes,” said the sprightly 60-something.


KK adds, “I only have one regret since I joined the industry. I should have done so much earlier!”
