Darnell Roberts

Born the only child of Benny and Darnette, he grew up a naturally curious storyteller with an eye for detail and a drive to succeed. From humble beginnings, his early love for writing and sports shaped a sharp, disciplined thinker who always played to win.

After earning his Bachelor’s Degree from Niagara University, he launched his career in finance—an experience that sharpened his analytical edge and taught him the value of smart, strategic decision-making. It was his passion for people, lifestyle, and opportunity that ultimately led him to leverage translate those skills to a career in real estate.

Originally from New York, he made Miami his home in 2014, instantly drawn to its multicultural heartbeat, nonstop energy, and incredible economic momentum. What began as a relocation quickly became a love story—one built on sun-soaked mornings, vibrant neighborhoods, and a community that feels as ambitious as it is diverse.

Miami isn’t just where he works; it’s where he truly lives. You’ll often find him dining in Brickell’s buzzing restaurants or discovering new spots in Wynwood or Coconut Grove, soaking in the city’s mix of culture, cuisine, and creativity. He thrives on connecting with people, regularly attending networking events across the city, meeting entrepreneurs, innovators, and locals who share his passion for growth and possibility. Those conversations, relationships, and community ties shape the way he does business every day.

Today, he blends classic East Coast work ethic with deep Miami market expertise to deliver a real estate experience that is personal, polished, and powerfully effective. Whether guiding first-time buyers, seasoned investors, or luxury clients, he is known for his integrity, creativity, and relentless commitment to helping people find not just a property—but a lifestyle that reflects everything they love about Miami, just as he does.

Darnell's business is built on 3 P's... Persistence, Preparation and Professionalism. 

He has leveraged his relationships from his Wall Street experience and the investment world to become a well rounded resource for all things real estate, including off market deals, international properties and exclusive listings. He has also become a go-to negotiator for short term and vacation rentals in South Florida.
