Albert Siu, Esq., is a second generation ABC (American Born Chinese) and speaks conversational Cantonese and Mandarin. His ancestral home is Xiaoshan, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China. His family immigrated from Hong Kong in 1971 and has lived in Southern California for over 50 years. He has been trusted to represent clients in all areas of the real estate market, including developers, property managers, real estate companies, residential and commercial landlords, restaurant owners, hotel partnerships, joint ventures, and foreign investors from Asia.

Albert Siu is an active California licensed real estate broker since 1993 and a California licensed attorney since 2001. While still attending high school at the age of 17, he passed the California Department of Real Estate Salesperson exam but was not issued his real estate license until his 18th birthday.

His attention to detail, legal strategies involving retrograde analysis, and the ability to think “outside the box” has proven successful in navigating legal intricacies facing his clients.
