About Balistreri Realty
Balistreri Realty, "South Florida’s most trusted name in real
estate," is an independent, full-service brokerage firm. We are a
listed broker-member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World,™
a global network of the finest independent real estate brokerage
firms, and one of the companies comprising Balistreri Family
Enterprises—the other affiliated companies include Integrity Title
and Academy
A family-owned and -operated business, we at Balistreri Realty value
long-term relationships with our clients and Sales Associates, and
work hard at building and maintaining them. “The client first” and
“the Associate’s success” are the mottos that always have guided,
and continue to guide, our business dealings every day.
We proudly are a Single Agent brokerage. Our clients can expect from
us not only the highest level of representation allowed by Florida
law, but also absolute obedience to their wishes, loyalty to their
interests and full disclosure in our financial dealings with them.
(Most firms in our market are transaction brokers; they assume
responsibility only for bringing the principals together to close
the deal.)
We believe our clients deserve the very best. That’s why we invest
heavily in our Associates’ professional preparedness and acumen.
Their knowledge and skills constantly are updated in specialized
training and coaching modules that put them (and their clients) way
ahead of the curve. Our excellent support and sales systems enhance
our associates’ success.
For more than four decades, Balistreri Realty has been providing
buyers, sellers and developers of properties superior real estate
services and a whole lot more—including relocation services,
mortgages, title insurance and land surveys. Our dramatic growth
locally has allowed us to expand our market and our
products and services
regionally, nationally and internationally.
Joseph S. Balistreri, who had relocated his family and real estate
business from Wisconsin to South Florida, established the
company—then operating as Joseph S. Balistreri, Inc.—as primarily a
residential brokerage in Pompano Beach in 1964. After initial
careers in the military and in construction management, his sons Joe
and Jim earned their real estate credentials and joined the firm.
In 1991, Joseph S. Balistreri retired. Joe and Jim, by then seasoned
veterans in the business, bought the firm. They renamed it
Balistreri Realty, and immediately set about its growth, building
rapidly on the foundation their father had established.
Under their stewardship, Balistreri Realty went from a 65-Associate
sales force in one location to a 225-Associate sales force in six
regional sales centers, each with a veteran, top-producing sales
manager at the helm.
They created an in-house marketing/media relations department to
provide maximum exposure and support for the company’s associates
and their clients.
They added the “one-stop-shopping” concept to Balistreri Realty to
the firm's business practice, putting under one roof real
estate-related services clients might need—relocation and
vacation-home services through Leading Real Estate Companies of the
World™, REFNET® and Realty Referral Network®;
title insurance and closing services through Integrity Title; and
mortgage financing through
Academy Mortgage
Corp.
Joe and Jim expanded the company’s scope of service to include
commercial and business-opportunity brokerage, as well as
new-development and multiunit sales, creating separate divisions to
handle each specialized area.
They also initiated a rigorous training and professional-development
program to upgrade Associates’ skills and give them a competitive
edge in all aspects of real estate.
State-of-the-art technology is standard in each well-appointed
Balistreri Realty office; Sales Associates have instant access to
the information they need to be even more productive and
competitive.
Today, Balistreri Realty is a recognized leader in the real estate
market, in South Florida and beyond, both for our superior service
to clients and for the heavy investment we make in the
professionalism and entrepreneurial success of our Sales
Associates.
