about me
Helen Jeong: Your Trusted Real Estate Partner
Hello, I’m Helen Jeong, a dedicated real estate professional with a wealth of experience and a passion for serving my clients. As a mother to six amazing children, aged 21 to 36, and married for 37 years, family has always been at the heart of everything I do.
We’ve made our current home since outgrowing our first house, and it’s here where I find joy in simple pleasures. Whether crafting corn pillows for friends and family in need or baking from scratch for community events, these moments remind me of the importance of giving back and connecting with others.
My career journey has been anything but ordinary. In 2005, my husband was laid off after we invested our home equity into rentals. When squatters caused significant damage, leaving us with an insurance cancellation rather than a payout, it was a tough time. Yet, instead of retreating, I returned to work as a cashier and pursued my real estate license. We took on additional mortgage payments for 30 years, choosing responsibility over ease.
This experience shaped my approach: patience, integrity, and service. I believe in understanding each client’s unique needs, guiding them through decisions with care. For instance, during the housing crisis, I helped potential sellers retain their homes instead of short selling, focusing on what truly mattered to them.
Patience, Integrity & Service
A confident outlook.
With nearly two decades in real estate, including thriving through the pandemic peak year, I’ve developed a confident outlook. Continuous learning is crucial, so I pursued certifications like RCFE, MiCP, and broker’s license, among others.
I’m involved in organizations such as the secretary treasurer for the REALTORS Commercial Alliance of Orange County as well as being on the local government relations committee for the Southwest Riverside County Association of REALTORS. I also support the REALTOR Action Fund when it comes to issues that affect you and housing. All these organizational relationships allow me to best serve you.
I view each client as a divine appointment, eager to learn and solve challenges. When faced with a “no,” I explore every angle to ensure it’s definitive, not just a usual dismissal.
Thank you for considering me as your real estate partner.
