Soomin was born and raised in Seoul, Korea, but she also grew up in Canada, China, and Japan before moving to the US for college. During her time working at Uber, Soomin lived in DC, Singapore, and SF, eventually deciding to settle down in the Bay Area after falling in love with what the city has to offer. She thoroughly enjoyed her experience of purchasing a home in San Francisco and soon found herself volunteering to help her friends research their first homes. After 10+ years of working in tech, she got licensed to help first-time homebuyers and young families find their dream homes. Soomin studied Business as an undergraduate at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She now lives in San Francisco with her partner and baby boy. In her free time, she enjoys taking Pilates classes, exploring new restaurants in the city, and watching Korean reality TV shows on Netflix.
