Meet the Team
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
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.
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.
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.
A Bentley-trained, corporate-finance background brings real rigor to pricing, negotiation, and investment analysis. Strategy grounded in numbers, not guesswork.
A full network of trusted contractors, attorneys, lenders, and inspectors, and a business built on referrals and repeat clients since 1993.

Our Markets

Home Base · Est. 1993
Top Schools · Family Favorites
Victorian Charm · Transit-Rich

💛 $953 Raised for the Stoneham Senior Center!
I was very proud to stop by the Stoneham Senior Center and present them with $953 raised through our Pignone Realty Group Patriots Game Day Raffle at Stoneham Town Day.
A huge thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets and helped us make this fundraiser such a success. Every ticket purchased helped us reach this total, and I couldn’t think of a better organization to support.
Stoneham’s seniors have been such an important part of the fabric of our town. They are our longtime neighbors, business owners, volunteers, veterans, parents, grandparents, coaches, and community leaders, many of whom have spent decades helping make Stoneham the community we are fortunate to call home today.
Having personally volunteered at the Senior Center, I’ve also had the opportunity to see what a valuable resource it is and how much it means to the people who use it. Being able to give something back to a generation that has given so much to our town made this raffle especially meaningful to me.
And there’s another great part to this story. Our raffle winner, Juan Yepez, has generously decided to re-gift the Patriots package to the Boys & Girls Club Gala, allowing another great local organization to benefit as well.
One raffle started at Town Day, raised $953 for our seniors, and will now continue giving back to our community.
That’s what makes Stoneham such a special place. ❤️
Thank you again to everyone who participated and helped make it possible!

Built on Trust. Driven by Results.

Stoneham Remembers 🇺🇸
This morning, our community came together to remember and honor the lives lost on
September 11, 2001, and the countless first responders, service members, families, and
communities forever impacted by that day.
It was moving to see members of the Stoneham Fire Department, Police Department,
local officials, residents, and community members gather together in remembrance.
25 years later, we still remember. We still honor. We will never forget.
Proud to be part of a community that continues to take the time to honor those we lost
and those who answered the call to serve. 🇺🇸

Tony thanks so much for your kind words! It truly meant a great deal to me to have the opportunity to help your family through such an important transition. After more than 50 years of memories in a home, I know this was much more than just a real estate transaction.
-Anthony Vio
We had an outstanding experience working with Richard to sell my parents’ house. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Selling a family home of 50+ years can be emotional, but Richard made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible.
He guided us every step of the way, kept us informed, and always had our best interests in mind. His expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence, and his hard work helped us achieve a great outcome.
We truly appreciate everything Richard did for our family and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Richard, for going above and beyond!

This morning, Richie and I had the opportunity to attend a multi Chamber networking event at Virginia’s Café in Reading. It was great meeting fellow business owners, making new connections, and supporting a fantastic local business.
If you haven’t been to Virginia’s Cafe, it’s definitely worth a visit! The Portuguese coffee and bakery items were outstanding, and the breakfast was excellent. Thanks to everyone who made it such a great morning, we’re looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
