Born in Brooklyn, Roy Beason left New York at a young age when his family relocated to Augusta, Georgia—home of the Masters Golf Tournament and James Brown. It was there, at just 13, that Roy discovered his love for real estate, spending weekends with his aunt exploring new subdivisions and touring model homes. He returned to New York in the summer of 2003—on the very day of the citywide blackout. Walking through the packed, lightless streets of the Upper West Side, he was struck by the energy and resilience of New Yorkers. In that moment, he knew he was home.
Roy joined Brown Harris Stevens in 2005 and quickly found his footing. Within a year, he became the assistant to one of the firm’s most successful brokers, Lisa Lippman, gaining invaluable insight into what it takes to thrive in New York real estate. His talent and dedication led to a role in the sale of a 29-unit Tribeca loft conversion, where he helped guide hundreds of buyers and close over $30 million in sales. Now, in partnership with his husband and longtime collaborator, Noah Dopkins, Roy brings nearly 40 years of combined experience and a sharp focus on the Lincoln Square and Upper West Side markets.
Before real estate, Roy pursued a career in classical music, earning a Master of Music degree and studying oboe under the legendary John Mack of the Cleveland Orchestra. His background as a musician informs his approach to real estate: precise, thoughtful, and attuned to beauty and detail. He continues to perform regularly at venues like Carnegie Hall and across the tri-state area. Outside of work, Roy enjoys making oboe reeds, practicing, reading, traveling, and unwinding with a great K-drama. Loyal to BHS from the start, he considers it not just a workplace, but home.
