Corinn Altomare is Building a More Trustworthy Path to Wealth Through Real Estate

The financial industry is often defined by short-term windfalls, complexity, and hype. Corinn Altomare and her husband, Sergio, co-founders of Hearthfire Holdings, have created an investment platform that stands for something different: trust, stability, and the quiet power of long-term alignment.

Hearthfire Holdings is a long-term investment firm focused on self-storage real estate. Inspired by their desire to create a financial legacy for themselves and their daughter, Corinn and Sergio help others build more than just portfolios. Their platform is rooted in transparency, diligence, and real-life commitment to not just investors, but families like their own.

Corinn puts a bit of herself into every investment opportunity. “Every opportunity that we offer is one that I’m comfortable putting my own family’s future into,” she explains. “That remains our litmus test.” 

 

A platform that puts family first 

Many people feel like outsiders in the investment space. As a small family seeking a way to create a stable financial future for themselves and their child, the Altomares created Hearthfire Holdings with families and everyday investors in mind. 

Since starting Hearthfire in 2012, the family has amassed a portfolio that includes over 1 million square feet of self-storage across over 20 locations. Behind that incredible growth is a simple mission that anyone can benefit from: durable and dependable opportunities that help one generation to the next, building wealth that can be counted on. 

“We’re not in this for flashy returns or one-time wins,” Corinn explains. “We’re focused on delivering predictable performance, grounded in real estate fundamentals, and backed by the kind of alignment that creates true peace of mind.”

This alignment is woven throughout Hearthfire’s platform. With Hearthfire’s Team Co-Investment Program, every team member can invest personally in the projects they help bring to life. This personal stake in the Hearthfire opportunities further reinforces the firm’s culture of shared ownership and accountability.

From family foundation to a national investment platform 

Corinn’s upbringing shaped her approach to business. A second-generation entrepreneur, Corinn was raised in a household where small business and real estate were a part of everyday life. Her mother, who founded a Montessori preschool and managed the family’s apartment buildings, demonstrated the value of hands-on integrity. Her father, a family law and estate planning attorney, instilled a commitment to service, independence, and doing the right thing.

Before co-founding Hearthfire, Corinn worked on enterprise-scale technology projects at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, developing the systems-thinking and disciplined execution that now drive Hearthfire’s operations.

“My background in technology and operations helps ensure our processes are sound,” she says. “But what really matters is the relationship. Investors need to know we’re going to do what we say we will. Every time.”

A different kind of investor relationship

At Hearthfire, Corinn leads investor-facing strategy, capital raising, investor relations, brand messaging, and in-person engagement events. For her, these are not simply functions of her job; they are expressions of trust.

“We don’t view ourselves as just a sponsor,” she says. “We act as an extension of our investors’ network — connecting them to CPAs, attorneys, and other professionals we’ve vetted and trust ourselves. We introduce them to other investors when they’re looking to learn or collaborate. We’re in this together.”

Hearthfire works under a mission of relationship-first investing, helping them attract a growing base of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and experienced operators who value their thoughtful structure, hands-on execution, and people-centric approach.

Why self-storage and why now?

For Corinn and Sergio, self-storage just made sense. After years of investing in multifamily apartments, they viewed self-storage as more resilient, operationally efficient, and practically recession-resistant. It was an asset class that was particularly well-suited for the long-term needs and desires of its investors. 

“It’s the lowest-defaulting asset class in real estate,” explains Corinn. “When structured right, it offers a compelling balance of income and appreciation potential with significantly reduced risk.”

Hearthfire collaborates with industry-leading REITs like ExtraSpace and CubeSmart to operate its properties at scale, while maintaining investor access and boutique-level communication. “We bring institutional-grade execution to the individual investor without losing that human touch that we have become known for,” Corinn adds.

The legacy beyond the return

Hearthfire’s mission is not just about growing capital; it’s about helping families. Sergio and Corinn have considered their own goals in stewarding wealth wisely and investing in a way that aligns with their values as they built Hearthfire. By helping investors evaluate risk, build diversified portfolios, and stay focused on long-term outcomes, they enable each client to create their own legacy for themselves and their families.

“We encourage our investors to think beyond a single deal. We want to be a partner they trust for the long haul — for themselves, their kids, and even their grandkids,” Corinn says. 

Corinn Altomare brings something rare to the investment world: a commitment to doing business the right way, even when no one’s watching. In a space that often feels crowded with noise, her quiet, thoughtful approach stands out. As she and her husband continue to help their clients build legacies and lay the foundation for their own financial future, it is a commitment to integrity that Corinn continues to hold dear. 

“Trust is earned. And in this business, nothing matters more.”
