Sidney Torres is not your average real estate agent. While most agents look for an estate that will net them huge sums of money, Sydney looks for the ones that are failing. He helps failing real estate to get back on their feet and stay out of the red zone. And while doing so is not particularly easy, Sydney enjoys the challenge. It is not just his expertise that he lends to a failing project. More times than not, Sydney has to draw upon his bank to aid a developer. His exploits in real life are documented via the reality TV series, The Deed.
