Giampietro is a retired police sergeant who served 25 years, during which he was assigned mostly to accidents and investigations. “I worked closely with first responders and other emergency personnel. Witnessing firsthand how much they put on the line and the crucial service they provide, I always wanted to give something back. Homes for Heroes offered that opportunity, to help them secure their dreams and goals of homeownership,” he said.

When Giampietro works with clients who fit the Homes for Heroes criteria, he helps them directly through the program via a reduction in his own commission or money back on the buying side. In one of Giampietro’s favorite instances, his donation helped a client secure their mortgage. Currently, Giampietro ranks in the Top 3 Homes for Heroes contributors from Connecticut.
