Root Real Estate

What Root Real Estate does

Root Real Estate (legally ROOT Real Estate Co., Ltd) is a privately held, full-service real estate agency founded in 2022 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, by Mr. Vy Choeun. The company operates through a small team of approximately 5 staff acting as brokers across residential, commercial, industrial, and vacant land transactions, supplemented by property research, ownership-transfer assistance, and consulting services. Its primary customer base comprises individual buyers, sellers, and renters of residential property in Phnom Penh, with secondary exposure to commercial investors, industrial buyers (warehouses and factories), and land investors across ten Cambodian provinces including Kandal, Sihanoukville, Kampot, Siem Reap, Takeo, Kep, and Mondulkiri.

The business model is transaction-based, generating commission fees on closed property sales and rental agreements. Pricing varies by individual property rather than standardized tiers, with listed properties ranging from under $100,000 to over $1,000,000. Distribution is primarily direct, with agents handling viewings and transactions; customer acquisition combines a self-serve website with property search filters, a Facebook page, a Telegram channel, direct phone contact, and word-of-mouth referrals. The platform is a standard real estate listing website with no proprietary technology, API, or mobile application disclosed.

There is no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no evidence of institutional investors or board members. Ownership and operational continuity appear to rest with the founder, who functions as the lead agent and primary customer-facing relationship holder. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and verifiable scale indicators are limited to the firm's small headcount, active property listings spanning the 10-province coverage area, and a customer base entirely composed of individual retail clients based on disclosed testimonials.

Direct peers

• Baktouk Real Estate Cambodia: Phnom Penh-based real estate agency serving local and expatriate clients with residential sales and rentals. Directly comparable local brokerage competing for the same buyer and tenant pool.
• ERA Cambodia: International franchised real estate network with operations in Cambodia offering brokerage across residential and commercial categories. Directly comparable service model and customer base, with brand and training advantages of a global franchise.
• CENTURY 21 Cambodia: International franchised real estate brokerage operating in Cambodia with broad residential and commercial listings. Comparable in service model (brokerage, sales, rentals) while offering global brand recognition that Root lacks.
• IPS Cambodia: Established Phnom Penh-headquartered real estate agency offering residential, commercial, and rental services across Cambodia. Directly comparable to Root Real Estate as a domestic full-service brokerage serving similar buyer/seller segments in the same geographic market.
• Key Real Estate Cambodia: Local Cambodian real estate agency providing sales and rental services in Phnom Penh. Comparable as a domestic brokerage competing for the same residential and commercial buyer pool.
• Homefind Cambodia: Cambodian real estate portal and agency hybrid offering residential and commercial listings. Comparable as a hybrid listing-plus-brokerage competitor in the same Phnom Penh market.

Broad incumbents

• Knight Frank Cambodia: Global real estate consultancy with a Cambodia office covering residential, commercial, and investment advisory. Overlaps with Root Real Estate on residential sales but operates at a significantly larger scale and broader service scope.
• CBRE Cambodia: Global commercial real estate services firm with Cambodia operations focused on commercial and investment properties. Comparable on commercial brokerage but at much greater institutional scale and with a wider advisory mandate.

Emerging players

• Realestate.com.kh: Cambodia's leading online real estate listing platform connecting buyers, sellers, and agents. Competes with Root's listing/lead-generation function through digital aggregation rather than agent-led service.
• Property Guru Cambodia: Regional online real estate marketplace active in Cambodia, providing listing aggregation and agent lead routing. Comparable as a channel that may either compete with or feed Root Real Estate's agent business.
