Biography

Beginnings

Tony, born the son of an Italian immigrant, learned early on, the importance of a home, with the values of the old country. Where the benefits of hard work were to be enjoyed and celebrated together around a large table with a large tray of her finest homemade lasagna, especially in Nonna's kitchen. It was there he learned that home was more than an investment; it was a place where families and communities met not just for occasions, but to spend time and grow together. It genuinely instilled in him sensitivity to what was important to each family he worked with, by understanding what made their house purchase a home, along with a sound investment.

Career

In his over 26 years full‑time career in real estate, Tony has also understood and exhibited the importance of honesty, hard work, commitment, dedication, that he learned early on, from his mother who rose early in the morning to sell groceries off her father's truck in the markets of Philadelphia and both his parents in what became known as Dreamline Kitchens and Baths a family run company providing design and remodeling services to Central NJ for over 45 years. In order to better understand how to work with people, how the business world and markets work and to develop as a leader in his chosen field, Tony went on to further his education by getting his Masters Degree in counseling at Cairn University in Philadelphia region, where he graduated with honors and undergraduate business studies at Guilford College in North Carolina, where he studied finance, marketing and many other topics. These studies really helped to empower Tony to be able to empower clients to make sound decisions. In fact, one of his customers recently said, "Tony helped us to achieve peace of mind and financial stability". This also shines through in his writings for the local papers where his readers continually comment on how Tony makes sense out of the complicated world of real estate in ways the common man can understand. His studies also enabled him to not only effectively assist his clients in the right price for their homes, but also negotiate on behalf of them and bring about smooth and easy transactions. One customer remarked, "Tony because of your help, this experience of purchasing our home was easier than buying a car."
