About PADRAIC GALLAGHER

Padraic Gallagher founded Story Residential in 2021 with a clear vision: to deliver a more thoughtful, design-driven, and results-oriented approach to real estate along New Jersey’s Gold Coast.

A second-generation broker and Hoboken native, Padraic brings over two decades of experience spanning brokerage, development, and construction. His work is rooted in a deep understanding of how people live—and how to identify, position, and elevate properties to achieve their highest potential.

Under his leadership, Story Residential has been ranked the #1 Large Team in Hudson County for four consecutive years, and among the top teams in New Jersey by RealTrends. The team has surpassed $2 billion in lifetime real estate sales, with more than $200 million closed in 2025 alone.

Padraic’s local network and longstanding presence allow him to source opportunities that rarely reach the open market, while his strategic approach consistently delivers premium results for sellers. Drawing on his background in construction and development, he advises clients on targeted design and upgrade strategies that meaningfully increase market appeal and maximize sale price.

He is a go-to resource for developers—providing opportunity sourcing, real-time market intelligence, and the strategic positioning, pre-sales, and marketing execution required to bring new development projects to market with impact.

His experience extends beyond brokerage into residential development, where he has led both ground-up construction and transformative renovations. With a focus on intelligent layouts, clean design, and market-forward thinking, he helps clients unlock value not just through timing—but through thoughtful execution.

Today, Padraic and his team represent buyers and sellers across Hudson, Bergen, and Monmouth Counties, offering a level of insight, discretion, and precision that defines the next generation of luxury real estate.
