Richard Shiu not only knows the fast-paced lifestyle of Manhattan but how real estate plays a crucial part of that lifestyle.
Born and raised in Queens, Richard left his hometown to attend Bucknell University in Pennsylvania. Accustomed to the “fast lane,” he wanted to get his studies out of the way and join the illustrious world of finance in Manhattan. Richard returned to New York within four years with a degree in Finance and Economics and quickly became part of the world financial hub that is his beloved city.
Beginning his career on Wall Street, he worked as a trader for JP Morgan, then as head of proprietary trading for a large Swedish investment bank. Richard quickly carved out a niche for himself, learning the intricacies of the volatile market of finance in the mid-2000s and became one of Wall Street’s best and brightest traders. At the top of his game, he left to branch out on his own as a developer in Manhattan.
New York Real Estate Partners at Keller Williams NYC
Founding his own development firm in his early 30s, he built and renovated condos throughout the city, including Harlem where he realized the financial potential for the historical brownstones and abundance of vacant land that make up the now revitalized neighborhood. His vision paid off exponentially; his ROI tripled, as did his clients’.
Always seeking new challenges and opportunities, Richard decided to become an expert in yet another phase of real estate finance — as a broker. New York Real Estate Partners, partnering with Keller Williams NYC, was the perfect marriage to capitalize on each organization’s prime strengths: stellar customer service coupled with expertise in development, marketing and sales of Manhattan luxury properties.

Richard’s outstanding reputation as an expert financial consultant, developer and broker make up his professional repertoire; his personal notoriety, shared by friends, colleagues and clients, is one of impeccable standards — integrity, honesty and always doing the right thing.
