Joseph Castillo

Meet Joseph

In less than 5 years, Joseph Castillo has already made waves as the go-to agent for a diverse clientele. Specializing in serving creatives, Joseph has become a trusted advisor for both camera-facing talent including Wisdom Kaye, Deon Hinton, and Riley Burruss, and behind-the-scenes visionaries such as the founder of Studio RRD, and senior model manager at IMG Models, as well as high-profile executives including the Chief HR Officer at Five Guys and the founder of Cooper Tacia Industries. Over the last year, he has achieved an impressive production volume exceeding $15 million. While his specialties lie in buyer and tenant representation, Joseph approaches every task with a can-do attitude, tackling any challenge head-on.

"My approach to being an agent is different. I prioritize a warm and approachable demeanor. After all, we’re going to be spending a significant amount of time together."

  • "Just when I thought I had Manhattan figured out, my daughter, an NYU student, decided to trade it for Brooklyn post a semester abroad. Enter Joseph – our recommended guide in this housing adventure. Joseph's a gem not just for his real estate prowess, but for being genuinely good people. His honesty about places that didn't fit the bill (thanks to location, security, or proximity to undesirable elements) was refreshing."
