In today’s real estate business — bigger is not always better. In the scramble to be the largest agency with a vast army of brokers who cover the most territory, we forget the one thing that made us successful in the first place — customer service with the personal touch.

In the 50+ years Peter Hastings has been a real estate leader in Fairfield County,
he has run his own agencies, and managed the local offices of large corporations.
But he’s never forgotten the importance of service…which is why he has returned to the small, hands-on agency where the personal touch is the only way.

A native of Fairfield County, Connecticut, Peter has been a Realtor since l960. His roles as trusted residential and commercial broker, certified appraiser and his long
time community service in Westport/Wilton area, has earned him the statewide respect of his peers. He served as president of the Westport/Weston Board of Realtors, the Wilton Board of Realtors and president of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers of Fairfield County. He was Realtor of the Year twice–Westport/Weston Board, l979, and the Wilton Board, l980.

Peter owned Hastings Real Estate and John D. Hastings, Inc. for many years
was the manager of Merrill Lynch Realty/Wilton, and most recently, manager of
Prudential Connecticut Realty/Wilton. He was a founder and presently serves on the Board of Directors of The Wilton Bank. As a licensed certified appraiser, his corporate clients include, among others, IBM and General Motors. He has also conducted appraisals for the Board of Tax Review and Probate Court, and has been an expert witness for the Superior Court of Connecticut. Many local attorneys regularly seek his advice and counsel regarding the value of estates.

Included in Peter’s community service is former membership on the Wilton
Zoning Board of Appeals for 12 years, serving as chairman. He has been a past
president of Kiwanis, past chairman of Project ‘88, a Pop Warner coach, and involved in the Boy Scouts, Chamber of Commerce, and the Wilton Historical Society, just to mention a few.

Peter lives in town with his wife, Carol, also a real estate broker. Together,
they are bringing back to the Wilton real estate market customer service with a personal touch. Now, with the addition of a team of seasoned professionals to the firm, you truly can “TRUST THE HASTINGS ADVANTAGE.”
