For Toronto’s Multilingual You Group, eXp Realty Speaks the Language for Paul Cheng and Nelly Hung

The You Group is a powerhouse team that has sold and leased hundreds of properties, establishing a potent real estate brand in the greater Toronto area. Their specialty is local and multinational buyers and sellers, making for a dynamic array of clients – and languages!

More than 40 years ago, Paul Cheng moved to Canada, where he has been a licensed agent for more than 30 years. Nelly Hung is a broker renowned for her transaction expertise. 

Together with their team of agents and two full-time assistants, the You Group closed $70 million in sales and rentals on more than 155 transactions in 2022 while at RE/MAX, a brokerage they have been affiliated with since 1987.

Their success and market penetration in Richmond Hill and Markham – a city just north of Toronto that is one of Canada’s most desirable places to live – meant the You Group didn’t necessarily need to make any changes. Until the lure of eXp Realty proved too strong. 

Andy Zheng Led the Way for the You Group to Join eXp Canada 

Paul and Nelly made the switch in 2023, thanks to Andy Zheng, a Richmond Hill-based listing specialist and founder of Andy Home Selling Team. Andy and his team are ranked in the top .01% of agents in the Greater Toronto area of over 100,000 agents.

Paul is a mentor to Andy as both worked at RE/MAX. But he credits Andy’s support and advice as the prime reason for looking hard at eXp’s industry-changing model, which offers innovative technology and world-class support. There’s also revenue sharing.

eXp also offers You Group a more robust chance to connect with Toronto-area clients plus clients from around the world. There’s also an international connection to eXp’s 88,000 agents. And for a team like You Group, which prides itself on “Speaking You(r) Language,” that is a huge plus. 

That’s because the You Group can communicate across many languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, French, Thai, Khmer and Arabic are just some!
