About Me About Me

I was born and raised in Springfield, MA the oldest of 4 kids. Joining the U.S. Navy after high school I received orders to a class “A” school at the Naval Communication Training Center in Pensacola, Florida. There I developed communications and computer skills, which later came in very useful in sales and contract negotiations. After 4 years of service, both in Europe and at the National Security Agency, (NSA) Fort Meade, Maryland, I leveraged the GI Bill to further my education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I earned a BA in Language while minoring in Business/Marketing.

My business career began in the pharmaceutical industry with Beecham Labs, which eventual transformed into GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. I spent over 30 years at GSK in sales and contract negotiations with hospital systems and managed care organizations. I left pharmaceuticals as Senior Corporate Account Executive with many high achievements and honors in President’s Clubs and Winner’s Circle Awards, which were highlighted by trips to Hawaii, Europe and various U.S. Resorts. The skills and abilities I learned in my sales and negotiating experience have been instrumental in my last few years as a REALTOR® negotiating on behalf of our clients.

While at UMass I met my wonderful bride of over 40 years, Judy. Together we raised our family of 3 wonderful children Michelle, Joe and Sue in Old Saybrook. We have lived in this beautiful community for more than 32 years and our children are all successful graduates of the Old Saybrook School System. My pastime is spent enjoying time with my family including my wife, children and 5 (yes five) grandsons ages 3 to 11.

We enjoy traveling together, cooking (particularly with grill and Smoker) as well as golf, gardening and attending the Karate and sports events that my grandsons compete in. With memberships in the Old Saybrook Chamber of Commerce and the ROTARY Club we are current about what is happening in the community. We look forward to meeting and helping new friends and old alike.

Testimonials (7)

Pete and Melissa were extremely helpful throughout the entire buying process - from finding the right home to closing. My husband and I do not live locally, but Pete and Melissa made everything as easy as possible for us. They went above and beyond to be there locally when we could not be, helped to keep an eye on pre-closing projects at our new home, and were always in constant communication with us. Pete and Melissa helped us to complete a quick, efficient, and painless home buying process and we are so grateful. Ashley & David Pildis
I am extremely pleased with the service Peter and Melissa both provided. They really went above and beyond with helping out with getting the place ready for sale and even getting it ready for the closing! Truly amazing realtors that I would always recommend them to anyone I know that’s looking to sell or buy. They were both very accommodating to me being pregnant and being so close to the due date, with the closing of the condo and wanting to start a Reno on the new place. Helping to find the contractor and lawyers. They made the whole process smooth and simple, always found a way to make it less stressful for my father. Elizabeth Mazzeo
Working with Melissa and Pete to sell or buy a home (we've done both with them!) is an absolute dream. In addition to having an incredible amount of knowledge about the local real estate market, pricing, and negotiating, they consistently go above and beyond to provide the very best service. In our most recent sale, we were out of state for the entire transaction and Melissa and Pete managed everything for us, including prepping the house (painting, cleaning, yardwork, hauling, staging, you name it) and got us a great price above asking! For our purchase, we were up against multiple offers and they negotiated ours to be the winning bid, even though we didn't have the highest offer, it was amazing. On top of all this, they are both a delight to work with, so patient, kind and helpful. Highly recommend. Shannon McFarlin
Pete and Mellissa are amazing! We needed to sell my mom’s house and get the most for it so we can pay her rent at assisted living. Pete and Mellisa took care of everything and even went above and beyond what you would expect from a Realator. From the day we met them through the closing these two took care of everything. They got us a fantastic price for my mom’s home and we’re a pleasure to work with. We will definitely call them back again and I highly recommend them! Susan Dzialo
Pete and Melissa did a wonderful job guiding Jim and I through the sale of our Killingworth home. We had been in the home for over 38 years and what a process it was. Thank you for a quick, painless sale. James & Stella Smith
It was great to work with WSPIR and Melissa and Pete. I find there instincts with regards to the real estate market, current trends, and valuation to be far superior than other agents I've dealt with. They are in a completely different class and go above and beyond to support there clients. I appreciated the attention to detail and felt confident with them as my advocate throughout the buying and selling process. I'm convinced that Melissa & Pete at WSPIR were able to get me top dollar for my recent sale. B&R Solutions, LLC
Melissa and Pete are an amazing team. They're professional, kind, savvy and great at what they do. They make properties shine and do a stellar job highlighting all the assets of the communities they work in, They know their market and are connected to anyone you might need to hire in the process of a real estate transaction -- contractors, cleaners, painters. They're worked with my family on the selling and buying end of transactions and are equally skilled at both. They work incredibly hard. But beyond their skills and diligence, they're very nice people who are fun to be around. I can't recommend them highly enough. George Gustin
