Melissa S. Pardi:
I was born and raised in Connecticut and have lived on the Connecticut shoreline for the last 25 years with my husband and two children. My teenage son and daughter have grown up attending the Old Saybrook School system and are active in various academic, recreational, and social activities, which have allowed our family to develop strong community ties. Prior to moving to Old Saybrook, my husband and I lived in Clinton where we successfully restored an old beach house on Hammock Point, while starting our family and establishing a fond appreciation for the shoreline lifestyle and the friends we have met along the way.
I have had extensive sales and customer service training and experience working as a bank branch manager, trust sales coordinator, and insurance and annuity sales. I am proud to say that I have won many awards and accolades for sales and customer service satisfaction. Throughout my years working with these banks I was able to achieve great growth and success for the banks as well as professionally. The experience instilled in me a great aspiration for retail sales working with my customers and clients to address their needs and help them achieve their goals. My banking experience laid the groundwork for me to be well-suited for real estate as I always put my clients first and strive to provide superior customer service. I have been recognized as a top agent in multiple categories. It gives me great pleasure to help my clients achieve their objectives whether they are selling their homes or trying to find their perfect home that meets their requirements. I am a fighter and a listener and I will always negotiate what is best for my clients while recognizing the need to close a deal that works for all interested parties. When I am not out working with my clients you can find me in one of my favorite places. My kitchen. Cooking or baking with my daughter. I am an avid gardener and find great solace in early mornings tending to the needs of my gardens. Most weekends my family and I are out enjoying all the beautiful Connecticut shoreline has to offer. Boating in the sound, paddle boarding in Saybrook’s North Cove, or strolling on the beach watching the gorgeous sunsets. I am also the Co-Chair-woman of the North Cove Yacht Clubs Junior Sailing program, and a supporter of the Sunshine Kids and Ovarian Cancer Coalition....

It is a passion of mine but also ensures I am able to know homes and specialty features. In many cases, I have helped my clients establish a vision of how their house can be better presented to appeal to potential buyers or see the hidden potential in a house that can meet their home-buying objectives.

Read LessMelissa and Pete are an amazing team. They're professional, kind, savvy and great at what they do. They make properties shine and do a stellar job highlighting all the assets of the communities they work in, They know their market and are connected to anyone you might need to hire in the process of a real estate transaction -- contractors, cleaners, painters. They're worked with my family on the selling and buying end of transactions and are equally skilled at both. They work incredibly hard. But beyond their skills and diligence, they're very nice people who are fun to be around. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Sara F. | Old Saybrook, CTMelissa and Pete helped me find and purchase my first house. They went above and beyond to understand what I was looking for (and I changed my mind a few times!), continuously monitored the market for my interests, were extremely responsive, and made sure my closing was always on track and moving forward. Above all else, they add their own special touch to the process, treating you like family and not just another transaction. It is apparent they love what they do and they are truly amazing at it! I honestly could not have imagined better team on my side. July 14, 2018KARA G. | OLD SAYBROOK, CT
Elizabeth G. | Old Saybrook, CTThe Pardi and Zucco team were a complete joy to work with. They took all of our needs and goals into consideration, gave us excellent advice on how to get the house ready for market, and were outstanding in representing our needs to the buyers agent. If you follow their advice your house will sell in no time. Ours certainly did. Thank you both for a great experience. July 19, 2018
Steve S. | Old Saybrook, CTThey were right on top of every aspect of our real estate transaction from the very first phone call to the day before the closing. They were readily available at all times of the day and evening, responding to every call, text or e-mail extremely quickly. They are truly nice people, who are looking out for your best interest in helping you to get your dream home. They were very supportive and reassuring when things got a little tense, as does with any real estate transaction. However their expertise, knowledge and persistence gave us the feeling that everything would work out for us and it did! We are extremely happy to be in our new home and we owe it to Melissa and Peter. We are grateful for having had them as our real estate agents. They are an absolutely amazing team, who are passionate about what they do. Thank you Melissa and Peter, this would have never happened without both of you!! August 02, 2018
Amy A. | Old Saybrook, CTWe had a great experience with Pardi and Zucco and we have already recommended them to our friends who took our advice and are going with them for the sale of their home!

BRITTANY V. | SALEM, CTPete and Melissa are truly a great team! They make searching for a house fun. Their “escalating offer” technique got us the house of our dreams, beating out multiple offers, while saving us about an extra $30,000 that we were willing to pay for the house. They were always available to answer our questions, even late at night. They are just really good people who actually care about their clients and aren’t pushy like many realtors can be. Would recommend them to everyone! August 17, 2020
AMANDA R. | NIANTIC, CTMelissa and Pete went above and beyond to help resolve issues with home sellers, going to the local town to check on items for us, in addition to answering dozens of our new-home-buyer-frenzied questions.

November 30, 2020
CHARLES D. | ESSEX, CTMelissa and Pete are phenomenal people who understand their clients, locations, and the market. We purchased our home from afar without being present.

LOUISA V. | OLD SAYBROOK, CTHaving the power of two agents each with their own strengths was incredible.
