Roman Cedillo
To build is literally, to create something out of nothing. With Roman's successful track record, it is no wonder he gravitated toward real estate with its necessity for building and development.
Growing up in Mexico, Roman could see real street poverty as well as physical impairment. At a very young age, doctors told his mother, he would most likely develop a symptom that could lead to him not being able to walk. Despite grim outcomes forecasted, Roman underwent several operations, was left wheelchair bound during an early stage in life and was eventually re-examined as symptom-free! He cites this obstacle as part of what made him such a determined person, and overcoming it, as his first real taste of success.
Roman went on to obtain his real estate and notary licenses while in college, then created a website that saw phenomenal success. It shot to the top of Google, Yahoo and MSN search engines, making Roman a substantial amount of money, while still being in school.. One unforeseen agreement blindsided him, defrauded him of everything he had, and left him teetering on the verge of declaring bankruptcy. At rock bottom and still owing large sums of money, Roman made a critical decision – to keep on and not look back. He worked tirelessly until he was out of the red, and hasn’t stopped since. He graduated in 2007 and continued to grow the business, soon after acquiring an office with staff.
With his company running on autopilot, Roman had the time and luxury to make a big purchase – his first home. But one soon became two, then four – and Roman began discovering his passion for real estate. His sights were set on building, and he was intent on doing it from the ground up, just like everything else he had accomplished thus far. Still very young in the world of real estate, Roman, with his growing businesses, was open to receiving help and advice .
Having arrived at a place of comfort but refusing to become complacent, Roman is intent on exploring innovation in systems, strategy and design, and pushing novel concepts that will expand the frontier of home design. According to Roman, a successful product is one that is profitable, impeccably well designed and duplicable.
If you can conjure it in your head, you can create it. That which applies to a dream also applies to building – that’s Roman’s philosophy. And learning how to make your business work for you – that’s his secret to success. Taking advantage of the knowledge of others, finding opportunities, partners, and inspiration – that’s all superfluous. Real estate is Roman’s passion, and that is evident in every project he undertakes.
