Steve's expertise as a Realtor is grounded in his understanding of home construction, land development, and effective marketing strategies. His love of houses is evident through his involvement in numerous renovation projects, ranging from kitchen remodels to complete home transformations. He also has a thorough knowledge of land development and local land-use policies, acquired through years working in land surveying and his service on the Town of Kent's Planning & Zoning Commission. Additionally, Steve brings valuable skills from his background in publishing, including advertising, marketing, writing, and design, which he leverages to maximize the potential of each listing.

Beyond his professional achievements, Steve serves as the Executive Director of Pond Mountain Natural Area, a protected tract of nearly 800 acres located in Kent, where he and his wife are raising their son and daughter. When he's not assisting his clients in navigating the local market, Steve can often be found enjoying his passion for cycling or coaching youth sports.
With his extensive expertise, unwavering commitment, and deep connection to the community, Steve is an exceptional Realtor who is well-equipped to guide clients through their real estate journey.

Testimonials (22)
William Pitt Realty was recommended by a long time resident of Litchfield county. I was so fortunate to work with Steve Pener. He listed and understood my needs and requirements and even went outside his usual territory to accommodate my interest in properties in Dutchess and Ulster Counties in New York. Once I targeted a property Steve provided astute guidance and helped ease the tedious process of inspections, review of the reaults, appraisals, negotiations and provision of documents. He also helped get practical answers to questions on the property, and vendors. It was a great partnership. It’s too bad I don’t buy properties more often because I would definitely love to work with Steve again.Matthew Kalishman
From beginning to end Steve was outstanding. He guided us through the process and Judy and I can't imagine doing it without him. He explained everything clearly and was prompt in getting back to us with new developments or when we had questions. He was understanding of our needs and scheduled showings mindful of that. His good counsel was critical to our downsizing. Any seller would be fortunate to work with him.Judith & Gregory Sheridan
Steve was tremendously helpful, guiding me through the process. Listing my childhood home, coupled with the passing of my mother made it a daunting task to deal with. Steve handled so many little things for me, I will always be grateful.Mary C. Grusauski Estate
