A Culture of Good Will

Kam Kang, 29, says he’s not reinventing real estate, nor is he focusing on the next greatest tech tools. Instead, he’s homing in on his clients’ needs. From the start of their home search to settling in after a purchase, he gives them the information they need to be subject matter experts. "My end goal is always to support our clients."

Kang’s motivation comes, in part, from the foreclosure of his family’s home in 2009. That experience is why he’s working with his family to develop a nonprofit focused on financial education for elementary school–aged students.

As leader of the Kree Team, Kang has made it part of the group’s culture to give back and get involved in the Washington, D.C., community. He previously tutored fifth through eighth graders in math through an organization called Higher Achievement, and he regularly volunteers at local food banks. Kang has also served in the Army National Guard and Army Reserve for 10 years.

"I am proud of being a REALTOR® and the work I’ve done to change people’s opinions of the profession and develop better ways of serving clients. I feel like I am just scratching the surface of my potential."
