Paul C. Roemer was an influential Houston realtor from the 1930's until the early 1960's. Born in 1886, Roemer began his real estate career in 1927 when he joined the Ross Realty Co.

In the 1950's Roemer served as president of the politically active Property Owners Association of Houston. Roemer was also a member of the Tax Research Association and the Friday Clob.
