Brothers Dan Houlihan and Joe Houlihan started the business in 1984.  Joe runs the residential sales office while Dan runs the commercial division.  Learn more about more about Houlihan & O’Malley’s commercial division here.

Joe Houlihan started his Real Estate career in 1984 as an appraiser, running Houlihan & O’Malley’s ‘Residential’ appraisal division. He interacted with Realtors on a regular basis and felt a natural attraction to real estate sales. In 1998, Joe founded the Residential Sales Group at Houlihan & O’Malley with the dream of creating a boutique real estate office in Bronxville. His goal was to provide true personal service and know-how, a real departure from the large, institutional corporate entities that are ubiquitous in today’s real estate industry.

To Joe, real estate is personal; it’s all about relationships and personal service. Clients are treated like valued members of his family. At Houlihan & O’Malley, clients receive an exceptional level of personal service from real estate agents who are knowledgeable, responsible, detail-oriented, and dedicated. We anticipate your needs, and respect your time. Excellence is our motto.

Joe comes from a long line of Realtors©. He can track his family’s involvement in real estate back to his great-grandparents, Daniel and Margaret Houlihan, immigrants from Ireland, who began buying and selling building lots in Manhattan and the Bronx in 1891.

Joe runs the residential real estate side of his business, while his brother and partner Dan handles the commercial property group. Joe’s sister, Liz Genovese (there are nine siblings), is in charge of commercial appraisals. His brother, Gerry, a former restaurateur, specializes in restaurant consulting and brokerage. And if that were not enough, one of Joe’s most seasoned agents, Pat Houlihan, is the wife of his cousin Jim Houlihan, who runs Houlihan Parnes, a real estate investment and service company headquartered in White Plains.

Houlihan & O’Malley agents have received numerous awards from the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (formerly the Westchester Putnam Association of Realtors) for outstanding performance. All Houlihan & O’Malley salespersons are members of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, the New York State Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors. We also believe in giving back, and support many worthwhile community organizations and charities.

Among the many local nonprofit organizations Joe and the firm have supported are:

• Junior League of Bronxville’s Trails to Treasures Spring House Tour
• Eastchester Irish American Social Club’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade
• StArt High School Art Show; OSilas Gallery at Concordia College
• Young at Arts Performing Arts Program, Bronxville
• Free parking on Bronxville’s west side for Small Business Saturday (Saturday after Thanksgiving)
