Giuseppe “JP” Piccinini is the Founder of JP and Associates REALTORS® (JPAR) as well as chairman of the board for Vesuvius Holdings LLC, the holding company over JPAR, JPAR Franchising, and LendGenie.
A real estate agent turned entrepreneur, an author, philanthropist and a proud father; Piccinini was born in Naples, Italy and immigrated to the US when he was just 13 years old. In his new hometown of Wichita Falls, TX, he attended Burkburnett High School and had a crash course in English and American culture. After high school, his parents returned to Italy, but he stayed to pursue the American dream, earning a BS degree in Engineering at Midwestern University and beginning his journey.
Piccinini became a top-selling agent in South Carolina, closing 10 times more deals in a year than an average REALTOR®. After several years of selling and hundreds of deals under his belt, he was compelled to move back to Texas in DFW to be close to his family. In October 2011, in his home at Frisco, Texas, Piccinini began JPAR with a vision of a real estate brokerage firm dedicated to exceeding expectations through productivity and true service. His plan was to train and hire only full-time career real estate professionals who shared the same passion for real estate and helping others as he did.
