Celebrating Success: David Siu’s Achievement and Our Commitment to Excellence
By Dean Burnette, Founder & Managing Broker, Best Business Brokers
At Best Business Brokers (B3), we are proud to celebrate the outstanding accomplishment of our colleague, David Siu, who has successfully completed the educational requirements and passed the rigorous Georgia Real Estate Broker exam. David walked out of the state testing center with one more badge of trust stitched to his name, earning the esteemed title of Associate Broker / Business Broker. This milestone not only reflects David’s personal dedication and professionalism but also strengthens B3’s commitment to providing superior service to our valued clients — including attorneys, accountants, small business owners, and commercial real estate investors.

Picture this:
It’s 6 a.m. on Bay Street, Savannah. The port cranes are already moving, the coffee shops are firing up their espresso machines, and somewhere in Chatham County, a small-business owner is Googling “How do I sell my company, what is it worth?”
Now, if you know David, you already know what I’m about to say. But if you haven’t had the pleasure yet, let me introduce you.
David Siu: A Proven Expert with Deep Industry Knowledge
With over 24 years in the real estate industry and 37 years of experience in the food service sector, David brings rare and valuable depth to B3. He specializes in business and real estate transactions throughout Chatham, Bryan, and Effingham counties in Georgia, as well as adjacent areas in South Carolina. Known for honesty, integrity, and a client-first approach, David’s expertise spans everything from food service industry sales and retail to commercial leases and acquisitions across numerous industries.
David’s bilingual fluency in English and Cantonese expands our ability to connect with diverse business communities. Beyond his work, he also serves as an Assistant Scout Leader for Troop 16 in the Coastal Georgia Council of the Boy Scouts of America, showcasing his commitment to leadership and community.
David’s practical experience and new Associate Broker credential mean smoother deals, better valuations and more confident outcomes for your clients and your investments. See David’s full profile and listings here: https://b3brokers.com/broker/david-siu/
Why should attorneys, accountants, business owners, and commercial investors care? Because trust is currency when deals hit six-, seven-, even eight-figure territory—and David has stockpiled it the old-fashioned way: honesty, hustle, and a Scout’s honor (literally—he’s still an Assistant Scout Leader for Troop 16).
Let’s talk about the wind at ALL our backs right now, then I’ll show you how David and the rest of the B3 team turn that breeze into jet fuel for your next transaction.
Georgia & Southeast USA—The Headlines That Have Us Doing High-Fives
Right now, the winds of opportunity are blowing strong across the Southeast. We’re seeing unprecedented growth, from the bustling ports of Savannah and Charleston to the tech corridors in Atlanta and the manufacturing hubs springing up across the region. As I’ve said before, this is the new Georgia Gold Rush for savvy business owners and investors.
– Hyundai’s $5.5 B EV plant in Bryan County just hired its 1,000th worker—more disposable income for local retail & restaurant acquisitions.
– Savannah’s port handled 5.9 M twenty-foot containers last year, a record that keeps logistics and warehouse valuations climbing.
– South Carolina’s new port-relief bill means faster rail links from Charleston to Augusta—distribution businesses are popping like popcorn along I-16.
– Atlanta Fed’s latest Beige Book calls Southeast tourism & hospitality “robust,” with RevPAR up 12 % year-over-year. Translation: if you own a hotel, café, or beach-town souvenir stand, you’re holding a golden ticket.
In a thriving market, details matter more than ever. Whether you’re an attorney advising a client on a sale, an accountant helping evaluate a company’s worth, or a business owner contemplating your next big move, you need an expert who has put in the work. You need someone who understands complex contracts, valuation nuances, and the art of negotiation.
In short, this is the moment to buy, sell, or expand—and you deserve a broker whose résumé matches the moment.
