Frederick P. Petrella, CCIM - President/Managing Director

We welcome you to our web site and encourage you to see what our company has to offer. I established Connecticut Realty Group, LLC in 1993 after a ten year career as a real estate practitioner and broker with a national corporate real estate firm. Upon earning my CCIM designation 1996, after many years of study and required qualifying experience, Connecticut Realty Group, LLC became a member of the prestigious CCIM Institute. Since then, I have served as CCIM Connecticut Chapter President from 2003 – 2004, and currently serve as the CCIM Institutes First Regional VP for Region 11 which consists of New England States and New York.

The CCIM designation is awarded to commercial real estate professionals upon completion of a graduate–level curriculum and attainment of a significant level of qualifying experience. Real estate professionals who carrying the CCIM designation, are recognized experts in the commercial real estate brokerage, leasing, asset management, valuation, and investment and market analysis and form a business affiliation and network encompassing over 1,000 markets nationwide. It is this network and its resources, which separate Connecticut Realty Group, LLC as a commercial real estate company of choice by business owners, company real estate directors and investors.
