BRIAN RIOLO<br />
During his college years, Brian Riolo<br />
caught passes as a wide receiver on the<br />
Wesley College football team. Today,<br />
he’s scoring sales as a<br />
member of the Special<br />
Properties team, Hoboken<br />
office. He credits his<br />
accomplishments on the<br />
football field with helping<br />
him to hone the skills of<br />
A family outing<br />
for Brian and Lori<br />
Riolo can include<br />
a train ride from<br />
their home in<br />
Hoboken.<br />
a successful Realtor associate. “You learn to<br />
take responsibility and concentrate on your<br />
specialty within the team,” says Riolo, who<br />
regularly taps into video calls and seminars<br />
presented by Tom Ferry, a leading educator<br />
in the real estate industry.<br />
Away from the office, Brian and his<br />
wife Lori enjoy raising their two children.<br />
Family time in Hoboken, where they reside,<br />
means trips to local parks, the city’s many<br />
exceptional restaurants, attending school<br />
activities and arranging play dates for the<br />
children. Seaside Park is the family’s go-to<br />
get-away.<br />
COLLEEN STAFF<br />
Colleen Staff has always enjoyed<br />
attending house tours, particularly to<br />
marvel at unique architecture and interior<br />
design. And it’s that kind of attention to<br />
detail that she shares with clients when<br />
showing a home.<br />
Located in Special Properties’ Ho-Ho-<br />
Kus office, Staff has two home bases<br />
— Oradell and during the summer, Avonby-the<br />
Sea. When she steps away from her<br />
career, her focus is on giving back to the<br />
community. One of her most rewarding<br />
volunteer activities is serving as president<br />
of the Holy Angels Parents Athletic<br />
Association. In fact, Staff’s service at Holy<br />
Angels was recognized when the Bergen<br />
County school presented her with its<br />
Legacy Award.<br />
The mother of four, ranging from middle<br />
school to college, Staff is also an honorary<br />
board member of Julia’s Butterfly<br />
Foundation, which was established to<br />
improve the lives of terminally and<br />
chronically ill children, and their families.<br />
Staff is also an avid tennis player.<br />
A special day for Colleen Staff and her family is best remembered with a special photo.<br />
