Sotheby's International Realty
Welcome to Greenwich.
Real estate isn't just about price, square footage, or school rankings — it's about understanding the nuances that turn a house into a home, and a purchase into an investment.
01 — About Me
A Buyer's Advocate Rooted in Greenwich
Peter Kemp
Sotheby's International Realty
By getting to know you, I help you save time by filtering out properties that may look good on paper but ultimately won't meet your needs.
I first moved to Greenwich over 30 years ago as part of a corporate relocation program. After a few years in New York City, I moved back with my family and put down roots in Old Greenwich. I know what it's like to move here in search of a better quality of life. I'm happy to say I found that better life here — both of my children went through the Greenwich public school system from kindergarten through high school, and the sense of community we built has been extraordinary.
I love real estate and bring a unique perspective from my prior career. I hold an MBA in finance, but most of my professional life was spent in marketing — where I honed the ability to understand people's wants and needs. I've spent years negotiating with clients and vendors, developing a creative, game-theory approach to deal-making. I take pride in finding smart, win-win ways to bring both sides to a successful close.
As a marketer, I chose to join Sotheby's International Realty because it is simply the most respected, most connected, and most trusted brand in the industry.

Personal Background
I was born in New York City but went to high school in Trumbull, CT, so I know Fairfield County well and can help you understand the unique character and advantages of each town relative to Greenwich.
I earned my MBA in Finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and my undergraduate degree in Marketing from the University of Virginia.
For fun, I enjoy biking, skiing, hiking, tennis, golf, art, travel, and personal investing. I'm a widowed father of a daughter and a son — both now out of college and forging their own paths — leaving me to share my home with our cockapoo, Joy.
As a buyer-focused agent, I go beyond search filters and listing specs. I start with an honest conversation about your goals, needs, and lifestyle. Together, we'll distinguish the must-haves from the nice-to-haves and uncover what truly matters — including details you might not see in a listing description.
Owning a 100-year-old home in a flood zone has made me deeply familiar with Greenwich zoning and building codes. I know the difference between major and minor issues — and have a trusted network of experts to advise you as we evaluate properties.
As an avid cyclist who has logged more than 20,000 miles around town, I know every neighborhood, back road, and hidden gem. That local insight helps me match you with the areas that best fit your lifestyle. My goal isn't just to help you buy a house — it's to help you find the right home: one that fits your life, your budget, and your future.
While my primary focus is on buyers, I also work with sellers who value thoughtful, strategic guidance. Selling a home isn't just about listing it — it's about positioning it to resonate with the right buyer.
