Meet Pignone Realty Group

A family-owned brokerage built to deliver honest, hands-on real estate across Stoneham, the North Shore, and Greater Boston — for more than thirty years.

Who We Are

A family brokerage built for real people, real results.

Pignone Realty Group was founded on a simple idea: that buyers and sellers deserve to work directly with the person whose name is on the sign — not an assistant, not a call center. Since 1993 we’ve stayed independent and family-owned on purpose.

We pair a finance-trained, disciplined approach with genuine, lived-in knowledge of these towns. Three agents, one family, one standard — clear communication, patience, and guidance that holds up long after the closing table.

Local Roots, Real Knowledge

A lifelong Stoneham family with three decades in these towns. When we talk about schools, commutes, and neighborhoods, it comes from living here — not a listing sheet.

Family-Owned Trust

Independent and family-run on purpose. You work directly with the person whose name is on the sign, start to finish — never handed off to an assistant or a call center.

Finance-Grade Discipline

A Bentley-trained, corporate-finance background brings real rigor to pricing, negotiation, and investment analysis. Strategy grounded in numbers, not guesswork.

Results That Hold Up

A full network of trusted contractors, attorneys, lenders, and inspectors, and a business built on referrals and repeat clients since 1993.
