About

Dominic Rosato.

I grew up in North Jersey, I invest in this market with my own money, and I work with buyers, sellers, and investors full time. This is the longer version of that story.

A little about me

I got into real estate by buying it.

I grew up in Boonton Township in Morris County and have lived in North Jersey my entire life. After studying finance and marketing at Marist, I moved to Jersey City. Instead of renting, my fiancée and I bought a two bedroom condo in the Heights, rented out the spare bedroom, and renovated the place ourselves over time.

Selling that condo changed how I think about housing forever. We rolled the gains into the condo we live in now, which I also renovated, and kept building from there. Today that includes rentals out of state, and the next project is a multifamily purchase here in Jersey City. That journey is what pulled me into real estate full time, and it is the experience behind the advice I give every client.

Outside of work, life is pretty simple. The gym, a hiking trail, or a Rangers game. Most of our favorite nights end at a table at Corto or Razza with friends and family, and when we can get away, it is usually to Italy.

Real estate is relationship-driven, not transactional. I treat every client as a long-term partner, I connect you with the same attorneys, contractors, and lenders I use for my own properties, and I bring the same standards to your purchase that I bring to mine.

How I work

Three things you can hold me to.

Your goals come first

Your long-term objectives always come before closing a deal. Sometimes the right answer is not buying or selling at all, and when that is the case, I will tell you so.

Straight answers

You get transparency and opinions backed by data. If the numbers do not support the move you want to make, the numbers get the final word, not my commission.

You always know where things stand

Proactive updates and quick responses at every step. You should never have to chase your own agent for news about your own deal.

The team

The VIP Team at Compass.

I am part of The VIP Team at Compass, a group of twelve agents that has been working together since 2013. Collectively the team has closed over $550M in New Jersey sales volume and served more than 1,000 clients.

Our client review rating is 100 percent five stars across more than 400 reviews. That number is hard-earned, and it reflects how every person on this team approaches the work. When you hire me, that whole bench is behind your deal.
