Wang delivers on his promises BY ALISON STANTON
When Realtor Henry Wang works with a buyer or seller, he says his goal is to always exceed his clients’ expectations in every way. This alone, Wang says, helps to set him apart from other Realtors in the area. “When people call, they get a hold of me or I call them right back, and I will do exactly what I say I will do,” he says. “I will never push responsibility away on anyone else. You will never hear me say that, ‘The lender did it’ or ‘That’s the inspector’s fault.’ My job is to make sure everything is right, and that’s why I get a lot of referrals and repeat business.” As leader of The RealtorHenry Group at West USA Realty Revelation, Wang says he can handle any type of residential transaction. “I specialize in everything that has to do with residential real estate for both buyers and sellers, from traditional transactions to short sales and bank-owned properties to working with both buyers and sellers,” Wang says. “I don’t like to say I specialize in any one thing because I’m good at everything I do,” he says. Because his office is in Chandler, Wang says around 60 percent of the homes he sells are in the Southeast Valley, but he also has experience in all areas of the Valley, from as far north as Anthem to Casa Grande. During his career, he has sold more than 800 homes and has over $150 million in transactions under his belt.
Wang’s hard work and dedication has caught the eye of others in his profession. He was ranked in the top 1 percent of Realtors nationwide for the last five years, and, for three years in a row, was also ranked as one of the top 50 real estate agents in the Valley by Phoenix Business Journal. Wang began working in real estate more than 10 years ago, when he was dissatisfied with his own Realtor’s performance. He says he wanted to do something challenging that he had never done before. “The real estate business is a great fit for me, because my personality won’t let me just sit idle and not do anything. And since there is always something that needs to be done in real estate, I just keep on going,” he says. “When I take on a customer as a client, it’s just part of my basic pride to do the best possible job for them.” In addition to Wang, The RealtorHenry Group includes six additional full-time, full-service Realtors as well as two transaction managers who help make sure that every client is well-taken care of. Wang says he is pleased the way the housing market has come back since the recent recession. “The market has recovered, and we have gotten to a place that is very steady, with no more crazy ups and downs.” As for trends, Wang says he’s noticed how younger buyers in their 20s and 30s seem more inclined to rent homes rather

David Bush and Kyle White opened Total Fitness Solutions LLC in January with one key goal in mind: to offer their clients corrective exercises that will help them overcome nagging injuries, increase flexibility and functional strength and improve range of motion. White, who is a personal trainer as well as co-owner, says he and Bush also work with a lot of clients who want to lose weight and reduce their overall body-fat percentage, as well as young athletes. In addition to the corrective exercise programs, small group and aerobics classes are available, as well as yoga classes. “Even though we are located in Sun Lakes, we pull clients in from all parts of the Southeast Valley,” White says. They work with people ranging in age from youth to seniors. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all approach to exercise, White says their one-on-one training programs are individualized.
