A Reflection on Being Recognized as a Staten Island Real Estate Expert

Being recognized in the Staten Island Advance article, “In the market for a Staten Island home? Here’s what $650K will get you,” was a moment of pride and gratitude for me. It’s not every day that your perspective is featured in a publication that so many in our community turn to for guidance and news. As a longtime Staten Islander and the broker/owner of Triolo Realty Group, I’ve always been passionate about helping people navigate our unique real estate market.

When I was asked to share my thoughts on what buyers can expect in the $650K price range, I knew how important it was to offer honest and practical advice. Staten Island’s neighborhoods are wonderfully diverse, and every price point tells a different story. In the article, I talked about how buyers can find a range of options—from detached homes and semis to townhomes and two-families—each with its own set of trade-offs. I always encourage clients to keep an open mind, because sometimes the perfect home is the one you didn’t expect to find.

Being quoted as a local expert is more than just a professional milestone—it’s a reflection of the trust my clients and neighbors place in me every day. I feel deeply connected to this community, and I’m honored to offer insights that help people make informed decisions about where to put down roots. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of my journey—your trust and support mean the world to me. Here’s to many more years of helping Staten Islanders find their place to call home!
