Chris Yung

Chris Yung brings the discipline, analytical rigor, and competitive mindset of Wall Street to New York City real estate. Before entering the industry, Chris spent nearly a decade in finance, working at a leading credit rating agency and investment banking firms. His transition into real estate was a natural evolution, combining his financial expertise with his ability to negotiate, analyze opportunities, and advise clients through complex, high-value decisions.

Today, Chris specializes in luxury residential sales and leasing, condominiums and co-ops, single- and multi-family properties, and investment sales throughout New York City. Since entering New York real estate five years ago, he has closed more than $33 million in transactions across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, representing buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, and tenants across a broad range of property types and market conditions.

Chris approaches real estate as an advisor rather than simply a salesperson. His background in finance allows him to evaluate property through both a lifestyle and investment lens, analyzing pricing, comparable sales, market dynamics, financing, and long-term value to help his clients make well-informed decisions. Whether positioning a property for sale, structuring a competitive offer, or navigating the complexities of a New York City co-op transaction, Chris is thoughtful, strategic, and highly attentive to the details that can ultimately determine the outcome of a deal.

He believes exceptional representation becomes most valuable when a transaction becomes difficult. Real estate deals rarely move in a perfectly straight line, and Chris brings persistence, composure, and optimism to the negotiating table. His philosophy is simple: understand the client's objectives, anticipate challenges before they arise, and remain relentlessly focused on getting the transaction to the finish line.

A longtime New Yorker, Chris lives on the Upper West Side with his wife, Samantha, and their two children, Aiden and Charlotte. Outside of real estate, fitness has been a lifelong passion. He has competed in multiple bodybuilding competitions as well as the D10 Wall Street Decathlon, an NFL Combine-style competition bringing together professionals from across Wall Street to raise funds for pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Chris earned his bachelor's degree in Economics and Mathematics from the University at Albany, SUNY.
