As the license partner at Engel & Volkers, Joe manages the workflow systems that has allowed the East Greenwich based real estate agency to amass more than $85 million in annual sales. Starting his career in a managerial role with an agency in Warwick, Joe partnered with Emilio DiSpirito to open the first Rhode Island office of elite international real estate brokerage Engel & Volkers in 2021.

Joe’s time-management skills and detail-oriented mind make him Engel & Volkers’ technology guru, but that doesn’t mean he spends his days hunched over a computer. Working directly with clients on home purchases and sales is a natural fit, flowing from his years of experience supporting a diverse group of volunteers, the natural empathy shown in his dedication to his local community, and a deep understanding of the real estate market.

A passionate advocate for his clients, Joe’s secret weapon for closing deals may be his calm and analytical nature, which help him weather the occasional conflicts that can arise among buyers, sellers, and agents and stay tightly focused on what’s in the best interest of the people he represents.
