Rose Barroso

Builder. Broker. Boss. Survivor.

Rose Barroso is a powerhouse in the luxury real estate sector—a self-made serial entrepreneur and luxury home builder who turned pain into power and adversity into achievement. Born in Portugal and raised in Toronto since childhood, she built her empire from the ground up, claiming space in a male-dominated industry. Known for her bold leadership and unapologetic authenticity, Rose hopes to mentor and inspire the next generation of women determined to lead on their own terms.

Her debut memoir is a raw, unfiltered account of survival, success, and the emotional armor it takes to lead. With a second book already underway, Rose continues to write, and live, with relentless purpose, grit, and impact.

Today, she lives in Toronto with her long-time husband and two children, and is either building dream homes or breaking ceilings, depending on the day.
