The story of A. Criniti Realty Inc. began in 1975 when Anthony Criniti III bought his first property at the age of 24. He always had a passion for real estate but waited until the right opportunity to pursue his interest. When he met his mentor, Bob Aversa, the late owner of Aversa Realty, he was given the chance to learn more about the business.

In 1987 , he decided to pursue his passion full time and began studying for his broker license. Finally, in 1991 he received his broker license and shortly after opened up A. Criniti Realty Inc. on Broad and Reed. The company gradually built up its reputation over several years. In 1994, Anthony bought the building at 1633 East Passyunk Avenue and relocated his business. Working on its 18th year, A. Criniti Realty Inc. has grown a reputation for being one of the best family-owned real estate companies in South Philadelphia.

Anthony is not the only person to give credit for the growth of A. Criniti Realty. His wife, Theresa Criniti is also the backbone of an important part of this company, the rental business. In 1993, Theresa became the rental manager. Over the past 15 years, she has gradually built up a successful rental management company. Furthermore, Theresa has been praised by many landlords and tenants for her hardwork and knowledge of the business.
