Joey Portale
Real Estate Team · Compass
Willow Glen Born and Raised
A native of Willow Glen, Joey was raised from an early age to have a strong and dedicated work ethic. He grew up immersed in the entrepreneurial spirit of his grandfather, former owner of La Villa, the Italian deli in Willow Glen, and his father, a well known Willow Glen contractor and business owner.
Joey entered real estate in San Jose and Willow Glen in 2007. Even in the challenging year of 2008 he earned the International Sterling Society honor, and in the years since he has written, negotiated, and managed million dollar contracts across Silicon Valley. He joined Compass in 2021 for its marketing and technology tools after fourteen years with Coldwell Banker Willow Glen.
Today Joey works with first time buyers, investors, move up buyers, and those looking to downsize. As a commercial and residential property owner and manager himself, he brings an owner’s perspective to every negotiation.
If you are looking for someone who will negotiate hard on your behalf or market your property to achieve the highest sales price, Joey has proven he is the right person for the job, with 194 homes sold and a five star record with his clients.

In Their Words
“Joey Portale did an outstanding job selling my home! I liked that he had grown up in the neighborhood and understood the market. He was always professional, knowledgeable, and guided me through every step of the process. His expertise and attention to detail made everything smooth.”
“My family had already moved quite far from our old home by the time we contacted Joey about selling it. To our relief, Joey and his team made the entire process effortless. They were upfront, communicated clearly, and managed all the repair work and staging.”
“Joey listened and helped us fine tune our needs in a new property. He knows the area and can anticipate the market and availability. I think Joey’s super power is his ability to keep clients in the loop, explaining each step clearly.”
“Joey is the best in the business. Not just because he is a great realtor but because he is 100% honest and upfront with his clients. He has a rich history in the area and is highly respected by other realtors.”
“He knew exactly what to do at each step of the way to have our home sold quickly and well over asking price. He was pleasant and professional throughout. I would highly recommend Joey to anyone who is looking to work with the best!”
“Joey represented me and my wife on both the sale of our prior home and the purchase of our current home. Being in the mortgage industry 20+ years, I have seen deals go wrong for several reasons. In our case, everything went smoothly!”
