Peter and Joelle have been married for more than 30 years and raised their two sons in the Kennett Square area after previously living in Wilmington and Centreville, Delaware.

They also cherish spending time with their sons and daughters-in-law, who live locally.

Peter’s philosophy is rooted in service, trust, and relationships — believing that exceptional real estate representation comes not only from experience and market knowledge, but from genuinely understanding and advocating for each client’s goals every step of the way.
