When it comes to world-class cities like Miami, real estate is a hot commodity, and no one understands this more than Roy Siu. A Realtor for 14 years with prior experience working with mortgages and logistics, Roy has assisted many happy clients with realizing their dreams of owning property along the glittering Atlantic coast. One likely reason for Roy’s current success is that he embraced the challenges of real estate during its most trying time: the Great Recession. Because short sales and foreclosures flooded the market, Roy became passionate about educating clients who needed his expertise to save their homes from being repossessed by banks. Another point of pride for Roy is how he learned the art of real estate primarily on his own, having never worked for a corporate brokerage. He says he “conducted his own research” and even pursued a marketing certificate from the University of San Francisco so he could collaborate with marketing professionals.

Today, Roy is known for helping with buyers and sellers, including transplants from around the globe, conduct a seamless transaction in South Florida — many times, without the client even viewing the property in person. Roy’s flawless communication in Spanish and English and his sterling reputation invoke trust from clients who are shopping remotely, and their glowing reviews on Google, Zillow and other platforms keep his pipeline full. When he’s not working, Roy enjoys outdoor activities around Miami with his partner, daughter and son, as well as participating in community service with his house of worship. Despite this busy schedule, he continues to look for ways to enhance his business and serve his market. His latest endeavor is house flipping, after the success of flipping his own apartment was both inspiring and rewarding. Roy looks forward to growing his real estate business further, while maintaining a reputation of trust with buyers, sellers and investors.
