J.M. Basile & Associates: Real Estate Expertise Passed Down by Generations

Having the family business passed on to you can be a huge responsibility. Sue Basile of J.M. Basile Inc. did just that — and thrived in the process. 

J.M. Basile is a real estate firm located strategically in King of Prussia. The company was founded by Joseph M. Basile (1938-2017) in 1990, after working in real estate for decades and coming from a family of realtors. Sue Basile, has since taken over her father’s business as President and Broker of the firm and recalls growing into this role from early adulthood.

“Real estate has always been in the blood,” Basile said.

Her grandfather and uncles founded> Tornetta Realty, where she first began her real estate career. Basile owes much of her success and gives praise to her father, who took her under his wing for many years. Basile’s father had an outstanding reputation in the real estate industry for five decades, and it was always her dream to emulate that success. 

J.M. Basile Associates, Inc. specializes in the sales, leasing, and management of office, commercial, and industrial properties. They act as agents for properties, actively soliciting tenants and buyers to occupy the properties they have been entrusted to market.  

The firm currently represents several local property owners that have placed their most valuable assets in the hands of competency at the Basile firm — some have been clients since the inception of the firm 32 years ago. These long-term trusted, and satisfied clients have become friends over the years. 

“We’ve been extremely blessed to have such outstanding people and entities to call our clients,” Basile said. 

Basile touched upon the importance of being actively responsive to her clients and providing them with all the information they could need. When a property is listed, the firm provides an extensive offering memorandum to each prospect that contains pertinent information, including floor plans, plot plans, demographics, photos, and more. Virtual tours have also become a larger asset since the pandemic started.  

“We are not afraid of hard work and derive great satisfaction from completing our job on behalf of our clientele,” Basile said. “I am readily available to my clients 24/7 and assist them in any crisis or any emergencies that may occur at their assets. We are there for you when you need it most.”

>Although the Covid-19 pandemic has taken a toll on many businesses, space that had been vacated as a result of Covid has slowly been absorbed, and the industrial marketplace has had such extreme increases in value and demand that some warehouse space has reached the pricing of office space.    

“We love what we do and it shows,” Basile said. “When we take on a project, we are dedicated to seeing that through to a successful completion.” 

Basile was taught education and community service at a young age. She holds the prestigious C.C.I.M. Designation (Certified Commercial Investment Member), which is an honor that less than 3% of the 90,000 Commercial/Industrial Real Estate professionals in the Country have awarded to her by the CCIM Institute. A Certified Commercial Investment Member is a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. She also earned several other designations and certifications in her industry.  

On top of having prestigious honors and certifications, Basile has also served as Vice President and is currently President-elect of the Board of Directors of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. She was honored with their “Excellence in Community Service” award and has also served on the Montgomery County Youth Aid Panel, where she formally served as president. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the King of Prussia Rotary Club, where she became the first woman president of the Club. 

With a lifetime of generational experience, Sue and the rest of the team at J.M. Basile aspires to make your real estate dreams come true.
