October 26, 1929, just two days after the stock market crash and beginning of "The Great Depression", Nicholas C. Pepe opened his doors for a real estate and insurance business. This business was passed from father to son, Thomas A. Pepe, and from son to grandson, Christopher W. Pepe and now Nicholas C. Pepe Corp., as successor in its third generation is still operating from the same location serving all of Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Today, Nicholas C. Pepe Corp., through Thomas A. Pepe, an attorney, and his son, Christopher W. Pepe, a real estate broker, continue to offer the residents and landlords in the area a complete line of real estate, mortgage and insurance brokerage services. They provide the same quality of service in the tradition of what the founder, Nicholas C. Pepe, offered in the 1930's.
