Arnold Peck Commercial World: Harry Weichsel, Vice President

When Harry joined Arnold Peck’s Commercial World, he became the new gateway to Fairfield County real estate. Born in Bridgeport, he developed his business skills from the ground up, working in the family clothing business. After college and upon returning from the military, he developed this clothing business into the popular boutique called The Fashion Showcase.

From there Harry went on to design marketing strategies for General Development in Florida, the Polaroid Corporation, The Champions Tennis Tour, Citi Bank, Chesseborough Ponds and others. He became a partner in the Englewood Country Club in New Jersey.

Weichsel’s broad business background in sales, marketing and management lends itself perfectly to the development of Fairfield County. As a multi - million-dollar producer, he has consummated transactions in many parts of the State, including banks, drugstores, office buildings, land and condo developments, a sporting complex and most recently the multi- million-dollar sale of the Pine Island Marina in Groton, CT.

Harry, who has six children, has diverse community interests and life involvement in the Bridgeport/Fairfield area. He is a PTR tennis instructor, and founder of the Grassroot Tennis Program in Bridgeport, that expanded to eight other cities in CT. He has been on the advisory Board and Board of Directors of the USTA/New England and Connecticut, served on the WORLD GAMES SPECIAL OLYMPICS committee, the Share the Warmth Program for the Homeless, and has chaired the Holocaust Committee in Bridgeport in the past.

Partnering with Arnold Peck, whom he calls a "WALKING WAREHOUSE OF REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE," he knows they can count on each other for input and support to bring clients’ goals to a successful conclusion.
