Experience That Goes Beyond the Transaction

Considered one of the most dynamic real estate professionals in the industry today.

Romi Torres is the Broker/Co-Owner of Elite KY Homes, a Licensed Real Estate Broker in Florida and REALTOR® with extensive hands-on experience across multiple areas of the real estate industry.

Throughout his career, Romi has worked diligently to expand his knowledge far beyond traditional real estate sales. His experience includes residential real estate, investment properties, new construction and custom builds, land acquisition, mortgage processing, title and closing operations, and transaction management.

But these aren’t separate roles to Romi—they are all pieces of the same transaction.

That experience gives him something particularly valuable: the ability to understand the entire real estate process, anticipate challenges, communicate effectively with the professionals involved, and guide his clients with a much broader perspective.

Built on Experience, Knowledge & Hard Work

Romi believes that being a great real estate professional requires much more than knowing how to list a property or write a contract.

Over the years, he has intentionally developed experience in the different areas that ultimately determine whether a real estate transaction reaches the closing table successfully.

His professional experience includes:

Residential Buying & Selling
Real Estate Brokerage
Investment Properties
New Construction
Custom Home Builds
Construction Project Coordination
Land Acquisition
Mortgage Processing
Title & Closing Operations
Transaction Management
Real Estate Investment Strategies

This knowledge allows Romi to see the bigger picture while still paying attention to the details that matter.

New Construction & Custom Homes

New construction has become an important part of Romi’s professional expertise.

He works closely with clients, builders, contractors, lenders, and other professionals to help coordinate new construction and custom home projects from concept through completion.

His involvement may begin with finding the right land and continue through planning, construction, financing coordination, inspections, title, and closing.

For clients, having someone who understands both the real estate transaction and the construction process creates an important connection between all the moving pieces of a custom build.

A Strong Understanding of the Financing Process

Financing can determine whether a transaction succeeds or fails.

Through years of hands-on experience with mortgage processing, Romi has developed a strong understanding of what happens behind the scenes after a buyer applies for financing.

He understands documentation, lender requirements, underwriting conditions, appraisals, title requirements, timelines, and the coordination necessary to move a financed transaction toward closing.

That knowledge allows him to better anticipate potential challenges and communicate effectively with the lending professionals involved in his clients’ transactions.

Knowledge of Title & Closing

Romi’s experience also extends into title and closing operations, giving him valuable insight into another critical stage of the transaction.

He understands how title requirements, liens, documentation, lender conditions, closing preparation, and communication between the parties can affect a transaction.

Combined with his real estate and financing experience, this provides Romi with a comprehensive understanding of what must happen from contract to closing.

An Investor’s Perspective

Romi also brings extensive knowledge of real estate investment strategies.

He works with both new and experienced investors interested in:

Long-Term Rentals
Mid-Term Rentals
Short-Term & Vacation Rentals
Multifamily Properties
Fix & Flip
BRRRR
Value-Add Properties
Land
New Construction Investments
Build-to-Rent
Custom Investment Properties
Portfolio Expansion

His approach is based on understanding the client’s objectives first and then evaluating the property, market, numbers, risks, and long-term strategy.

More Than Experience — A Commitment to Professionalism

Romi’s professional journey reflects years of hard work, continued education, hands-on experience, and a commitment to understanding his industry at a deeper level.

He believes clients deserve a professional who understands not only their immediate real estate needs, but also how the different parts of a transaction connect.

That means understanding the property.

Understanding the contract.

Understanding construction.

Understanding financing.

Understanding title.

And understanding what it takes to successfully get everyone to the closing table.

A Client-First Approach

For Romi, every transaction begins with understanding the client’s goals.

His approach is built around three principles:

Educate. Coordinate. Execute.

He believes clients should understand their options, receive straightforward information, and have a knowledgeable professional helping coordinate the process from beginning to end.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling, investing, relocating, purchasing new construction, or building a custom home, Romi brings the experience, professionalism, and commitment necessary to help you move forward with confidence.
