The MLS shows what’s available. The market shows what’s actually trading.
Across the Valley’s top tier, sellers increasingly skip the public listing entirely. Membership transfers, architectural commissions, and long-tenure family estates change hands by introduction. The buyer pool that sees these transactions is the buyer pool that gets in the room.
Yong’s practice runs a quiet registry of these introductions — pocket-listed homes the Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty network is aware of, club memberships changing hands at close, and estates being considered for private trade. The list is shared by phone and email; never posted, never bulk-mailed.

01
Private by default
Introductions are made personally. No public posting, no bulk distribution lists, no shared subscriber rosters.
02
Fit-first
You’ll only hear from us when a property matches the budget, timing, and communities you’ve indicated.
03
Two-way
If you have a specific address or membership you’d value an introduction to, we’ll explore whether one can be made.
