Get to Know Joseph Zarroli

My real estate career began in Northeast Philadelphia back in 1983 when I started working for Smylie Associates and Pennypack Corporation, companies founded by longtime Philadelphia restauranteur Joseph Smylie. Mr. Smylie took me under his wing and gave me an opportunity one could only dream of and got me started on the road to success. Originally an employee I rose through the ranks to become a manager, general manager and ultimately purchased his business in 1985 at the ripe age of 20. Over the next 15 years I owned and managed both residential and commercial properties in Philadelphia and Bucks County before ultimately retiring in 2000. I am always a bit reluctant to say I retired at 35 due to my fear of someone thinking I am bragging but I really did. My father worked for the Pennsyvania Rairoad, then Penn central and finally Conrail for 35 years prior to retiring so I really don't think he could relate to me retiring so young and only after 17 years at work. I credit this accomplishment to being willing to invest the time and hard work necessary to achieve that goal.  

For the next 3 years I focused on my hobby of restoring old homes in Bucks County Pennsylvana and raising my family with my wife Johnna. We have two children, Joe Jr and Jena. 

In 2003 we decided to take a leap of faith and packed-up our bags and moved to Princeville at Hanalei on the Island of Kauai in Hawaii. Our adjustment to Island Life was relatively quick but I soon found myself with alot of time on my hands and decided to go into Residential Resort Sales with Century 21 All Islands, at that time one of the most successful real estate agencies in the Country. During my time with C21 I developed a sense of what is important to buyers in resort markets. After three successful years we decided to come back to the states due in part to being somewhat bored and limitred but mostly due to our parents getting up in years

Once we decided to return the question was where to. I know we did not want to go back to Philly or Bucks County so since we owned rental properties in Ocean City we decided that was where we would relocate to. Having had the taste of residential sales I decided to join the agency that handled my rental properties and shortly thereafter bought the North Wildwood location of Fasy Real Estate.

Renaming the brokerage to Island Realty Group to better emphasize our dedication to the resort areas of the south jersey shore region, our independent brokerage has quickly grown to become the largest rental agency in the Wildwoods in addition to being the largest sales volume producer of a non-branded agency having represented buyers and sellers alike in hundreds of sales totalling over $71,000,000 in just 3 short years. I have a dream of opening an Ocean City office someday and only hope I will be as successful there as in the Wildwoods.
