Jonathan Yuen - Iota Realty

Working with Jonathan was a wonderful experience! Highly recommended! He is a true expert in downtown LA real estate, a great communicator and in the details to avoid any surprises at closing!

The absolute best! Jonathan was on my radar for years before I needed his services. I saved his info. for the day when I was ready to sell my loft and I'm so glad I did. He made selling our unit a pain-free process. He knows DTLA like the back of his hand, his knowledge of the area is beyond impressive and because he lives and works DT he can handle things quickly! I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

My sister is a realtor and recommended that our family work with Jonathan. We are so glad for the referral. He held our hands when we needed help. He was very professional when we needed advice. He is very experienced and knowledgeable with the 1031 like-kind exchange process. We are happy with our buying & exchange experience with Jonathan. We will definitely do business again with him. His services are highly recommended.

Jonathan was great to work with. I sold my DTLA condo and he helped me above and beyond. Communication was easy and he was always responsive. Knowledge of DTLA a plus. If you want a trustworthy, open, and energetic agent, who will go the extra mile for you, definitely give Jonathan a call.

It's my first time to write a review about a real estate agent although I've worked with several different realtors in my life.
That's because it's that hard to find a good, trustful realtor like Jonathan.
I've worked with Jonathan for several years for renting out my property. Jonathan has been so helpful since I'm remote from my property for a long time. He no longer does the property management so I had to find another agent though, I really miss working with Jonathan a lot.
Jonathan is the one who you can fully trust and who makes you feel safe and secured as a client. The way he communicates is very professional and so courteous. Jonathan is always keen on what you shouldn't miss and what you need to consider when there's a deal or when you ask advices.
Also throughout many years of working with Jonathan, I feel he is a very genuine man. While most of the real estate agents only think of their commission or benefit from the deal, Jonathan put his own client's advantage and convenience the first priority. He put the trustful relationship with the client the first priority.
Jonathan makes his client so much easy and free from the hassle in the process of getting tenant and sending tenant and Jonathan always makes sure his client's property perfectly clean after a tenant's moving out.
Jonathan doesn't rush you when making decision (which doesn't mean he's slow), he tries to get the best with no potential issue.
I read the Bo's review below. As reading the story, I feel even more trustful about Jonathan. No agent cares that deeply or makes sure everything is really ok for his own client. As a client, he is a life saver. Most of the agents just try to get the deal done asap, receive the commission and leave for the next deal, superficially keeping in touch for the next deal. But Jonathan is very responsible and thoughtful so he doesn't even make the situation get to any trouble and even when his client happens to be in trouble, he always comes and helps at his best with goodwill.
Jonathan is a such realtor who you can rarely find. Always considerate, patient, best communicator and genuine.

Just closed a deal with Jonathan Yuen on a condo in downtown LA. He's top notch. Very professional and "on point!" I was very pleased with his communication, keeping timelines on track and easy to get ahold of. Very nice guy and also very knowledgeable about real estate and his listings.
5-Stars All around. Highly recommend.

I am an applicant having a professional license and also have excellent credit (score wise more than 800).
And I am really busy and a hard working person, never wasting my time to leave a review. but this time I needed it because we got threatened by these realtors.

Me and my husband lived in the Los Angeles downtown area for a long period, and were looking for a new place to move. And I found 2 different places and wanted to apply and coincidentally these were listed by iota realty. I provided all the documentation (like bank statements and driver license) and also my credit report too.

After submitting all the documents, without any notice: this agent tried a 3-way call with my bank to double check my statement balance without my permission.
without notice.
without consent.
all of sudden. ?? Yes all of sudden.
what the..???
Can you believe this?


I am really sensitive with my private information, especially my banking information and I never experienced this type of confrontation in my whole life. only for a small, residential, 1 year lease contract???

If they need a 3-way phone call to check my bank balance, They need to inform me in advance. right???
or they need to arrange a date Instead!!!!!
At least they should explain to me why I needed to verify with the banker to confirm my bank balance.

However, they did not even say sorry to me for this rude attitude.


1. Please applicants should be really careful with this realty ,they are asking too much personal information!!!!!!
They will call your banker to check your checking or saving account balance!!

2. They are threatening us now.
My husband is a commercial real estate broker so he is my agent for a lease.
I mentioned them in advance, and they already knew about this.
But i do not know what is going on now, they start to threaten my husband.
My husband just received a phone call from them and they will report DRE saying that I was pretending as a real estate agent and also mentioned what? FBI? because we are using same cell phone number? husband and wife, we only have a one cell phone.. is that wrong??
Ha Ha Ha.!!!


3. Can you see now? how they act using the applicant's personal information?
I am really worried about them and need to watch out for these guys. and want to let other people know who they are! and how they are doing using applicants personal info. threatening!!!!!

really really need to be careful with this guys!!!

Jonathan is an extremely knowledgeable agent about the Downtown LA market and helped me to understand the different dynamics at play, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this challenging time, he walked me through the various comps and how we could position ourselves competitively. He identified where I needed to improve the property and we were able to sell it shortly thereafter!

His service, patience, and response is top-notch and I would highly recommend him as a realtor because he truly pays attention to the details of your home and listens to your needs. I could not recommend him more!

Jonathan is an outstanding realtor with an incredible knowledge of the market. He made buying our home feel like a breeze! He was very patient with all our questions and concerns and explained the buying process in detail.
We will always recommend Jonathan to anyone that needs a realtor. He made us feel confident every step of the way.

Jonathan did a great job selling my condo. He prepared a market analysis that was spot-on. He knows the Downtown market. He assisted with virtual staging, answered my questions, was highly responsive. He was able to shift gears between 2 prospective buyers quickly to get me the best price and terms.

I previously purchased my new home using another agent, and was amazed at how seamless it was working with Jonathan in selling my condo. Highly highly highly recommend.
