Meet Hem-young deFazio

In this hurry-up world of real estate sales, it’s comforting and reassuring for clients—be they buyers or sellers—to have an agent who works at a thoughtful pace, considering every aspect and all possible ramifications of the deal.

Hem-young deFazio, a California Realtor since 1988, is a natural at this approach. Hem-young feels a deep responsibility to her clients, viewing her service toward them as a lifelong commitment. She enjoys interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds and excels at finding creative solutions to unique challenges.

Her rare combination of skills and stellar customer service led her to partner with her husband Dominic deFazio at Dominic deFazio & Associates — a local real estate boutique they formed and successfully operated for ten years. After their firm partnered with Podley, Caughey & Doan and was eventually acquired by Coldwell Banker, Hem-young was a consistent member of Coldwell Banker’s International President’s Premiere Group and ranked in the top two percent of agents internationally during her 16 years with the real estate giant.

Hem-young’s distinguished tenure continued at DeasyPennerPodley and its merger with Compass. She has honed her ability to blend cultural insight with tailored real estate solutions, ensuring every client engagement is handled thoughtfully.


In the ever-evolving landscape of real estate, Hem-young has become synonymous with trust, integrity, and success.
