Finding the right real estate professionals is imperative in today's market, especially if you are looking to buy a home. For the Staten Island area, DeFalco Realty, founded by Robert DeFalco, a realtor and broker for over 30 years, has been the top real estate brokerage to partner with since they first opened their doors in the late 1980s.
DeFalco Realty services a variety of clients, regardless of what that client is looking for. They specialize in residential, construction, and now commercial real estate throughout Brooklyn, New Jersey, Manhattan, and their very own community of Staten Island. Through the facilitation of over 1,500 properties and annual sales reaching $2.5 billion, it's clear that DeFalco Realty understands the market, how to work it, and how to get their clients exactly what they are looking for.
Adaptability
The real estate market has been transforming for some time, with the recent pandemic, generational shifts, rising interest rates, and an all-time low of housing inventory providing unprecedented challenges for both consumers and real estate professionals. Being in the real estate industry for decades, and leading it for almost as long, DeFalco understands the importance of adapting with the market, a tactic that has led the realty firm into recently expanding into commercial real estate.
"As the broker owner of Robert DeFalco Realty, I am personally tasked with taking the necessary action for my company to adapt, but not to the current market, to the market of tomorrow," said DeFalco. "Staten Island is slated for an abundance of commercial development over the course of the next several years, but there is an absence of major commercial real estate agencies. As a result, we re-launched our Commercial Division."
In a time where numerous real estate agencies are being significantly impacted by the current market conditions, DeFalco Realty has found and capitalized on opportunities for expansion and filling a growing need. The adaptability of the agency, and the understanding the real estate professionals have of the market and how to maneuver within it, is one of many reasons why DeFalco Realty has consistently been a leader in this space.
Client and Community Focused
When it comes to their clients and community, DeFalco Realty has proven that nobody cares quite like they do.
To make the typical, stress-ridden process of purchasing or selling a property as simple as possible, DeFalco Realty provides their clients with a one-stop-shop, ensuring they don't have to go anywhere else or work with anyone else from start to finish, saving them both time and money. They have a full-service mortgage department, a title company, and an insurance company all in the same place.
In addition to meeting their clients needs, they are passionate about ensuring the community they are assisting is one of the best communities to live in. Giving back to their community is a key philosophy within Robert DeFalco Realty, founded on the principles of DeFalco himself.
"It is the responsibility of businesses to give back to the communities in which they serve," he said. "My father taught me this when I was just a boy, and I have strongly believed in it since."
This philosophy isn't just something they preach, it is something they do, with the DeFalco agency being a flagship sponsor for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer annual walk, raising thousands of dollars for them each fall.
In 2019, DeFalco was recognized by the Emergency Help Children's Organization, an organization that is dedicated to providing financial assistance to children experiencing medical or living emergencies, and he has donated thousands of dollars to this cause as well.
From the owner to the team of professionals backing him, DeFalco Realty truly cares for their community and their clients, and this passion is a driving force behind their position as the leading firm in the area.
