About Peter J. "Pete" Van Hemel

To say Pete is persistent is an understatement: He focuses all day, every day on bringing his real estate clients great results. And the greater the challenge and more complex the matter, the better. Case in point: After more than four years of intense, complicated work, involving multiple moving parts and players, Pete was able to help a client bring two large-scale renewable energy projects online in Maine.

Pete thrives on solving the seemingly unsolvable, and brings confidence, honesty, and incredible attention to detail to his practice. Whether you’re looking for help with commercial lease negotiations, wind energy and telecommunications development projects, transactional work, boundary disputes, or easement negotiations, Pete’s your man.

Pete is also very experienced in:
