Paul Ratha Yem, Broker of Record

Ith Robin Lunn, Agent

More than 30 combined years in real estate would be enough to make Global Realty Network Inc. broker of record Paul Ratha Yem and agent Ith Robin Lunn stand out from the crowd in the Greater Lowell and Merrimack Valley area. But what further distinguishes the husband-and-wife team is the poignant journey that brought Yem to where he is today. Once a refugee from the killing fields of Cambodia, Yem fled and started a new life in Massachusetts, building a business and serving his community with integrity and perseverance.

     “I fell in love with real estate and properties,” he says. “But I weathered two market crashes in my real estate career, and that helped me mature and hone my craft. Now I’m a partner and adviser to my clients, using my experience to help them achieve their goals.”

      Yem and Lunn have accomplished much as a team. In 2021, they worked together to help Yem win a seat on the Lowell City Council — yet another opportunity, they say, to give back to the community that has welcomed them. “We love to travel, but our home community is so important to us,” the couple says.

     With a casual business style designed to make clients feel comfortable, Yem and Lunn have the knowledge and know-how required to close deals in today’s fast-paced market. Running a referral-based business, this dynamic duo earns repeat customers with their honest, detailed and customized approach to serving clients who range from investors to first timers. They also embrace the immigrant community wholeheartedly.

     “When clients choose to work with us, we’re honored by that,” they say. “So, we honor our clients in return through incredible service.”
