Lawrence Fong

Lawrence was born and raised in San Francisco, shuffling between Nob Hill for school and the Inner Richmond where he lived adjacent to famed Golden Gate Park. Growing up in the city has given him a unique perspective as he's seen its one-of-a-kind neighborhoods evolve over the years into the alluring and diverse city it is today.

 

Lawrence's real estate journey with Vanguard actually started back in 2001. A teenager at the time, he convinced his parents to view an open house, incidentally listed by Vanguard’s founder James Nunemacher. In what could be considered his first agent role, Lawrence ‘sold’ his parents on the vision of a new life in a new home and its future potential. Soon, the property was theirs. Real estate has been in his veins since. Fast forward to 2023, Lawrence officially joined the Vanguard family.

 

Prior to Vanguard, Lawrence amassed almost 20 years of success as a Strategy and Operations senior executive at companies like Gap, Twitch, Amazon, DoorDash, and software startups. He has managed billion-dollar divisions, led complex organizations of over 1000+ employees, and scaled retail businesses domestically and internationally.
