ABOUT THE AUTHOR

JOSEPH A. CIRILLO is a licensed real estate broker specializing in residential leasing and property management. He has worked with tenants and landlords from coast to coast for over twenty-five years.

Joseph’s family came from humble beginnings. As welfare recipients and tenants in the Menlo Park projects of New Brunswick, New Jersey, they often struggled to get by. It was only due to the generosity of others that his family was able to go from tenancy to homeownership — generosity that has never been forgotten.

As an on-site property manager, he lived side-by-side with tenants of many different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds and worked with them to create safe and clean environments in apartment complexes throughout Southern California.

In his spare time, he enjoys exploring nature, cooking, and shooting wildlife photography with his son.
