Real Estate, Reimagined
by People Who Live It
A husband and wife. Two careers built on integrity. One firm built for you.
— Maison Pawli
Built Together.
For This Community.
Maison Pawli was born from a simple idea: real estate should be about the client, not the commission. Peter and Paola — known to friends and family as “Pawli” — are husband and wife, and the name of their firm is a tribute to exactly that: a partnership built on trust, built at home, brought to the people they serve.
Together they saw an opportunity to do things differently. Pawli brings over a decade of hands-on real estate experience — working directly with buyers and sellers, navigating negotiations, and guiding clients through some of the most significant transactions of their lives. Peter brings something equally rare: the marketing instincts, business discipline, and technology-forward thinking that most traditional brokerages simply don’t have.
The result is a modern boutique firm where professional representation meets genuine innovation — where clients get the full weight of licensed expertise and the strategic edge of a seasoned entrepreneur working in their corner.
They live and work right here in the community they serve, rooted in Mount Sinai and Setauket — neighbors first, brokers second.

01 Paola “Pawli” Meyer Licensed Broker & Founding Partner Pawli is the heart of the client experience at Maison Pawli. With over a decade of experience in the real estate industry, she has spent her career doing one thing exceptionally well: guiding people through the process of buying and selling homes with clarity, care, and unwavering professionalism. Originally from Argentina, Pawli built her life and her career in the United States — raising her family between Long Island and the Hamptons, and developing an intimate knowledge of the communities she now serves. She brings a rare combination of market expertise and genuine human warmth that clients feel from the very first conversation. Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, she is a trusted advocate within the Spanish-speaking community, making the real estate process accessible and empowering for every client she serves. At Maison Pawli, Pawli handles what matters most: the clients, the listings, and the negotiations — backed by years of experience and a genuine commitment to every outcome. |

02 Peter Kalafatis Partner · Technology, Marketing & Strategy Peter is the engine behind Maison Pawli’s modern approach. While Pawli works directly with clients, Peter ensures every listing is positioned with precision — leveraging the latest marketing technologies, digital advertising, and brand strategy to maximize exposure and results in ways most brokerages simply can’t match. A lifelong entrepreneur, Peter owns and operates Heritage Diner in Mount Sinai, one of Long Island’s most beloved community institutions. As the designer behind luxury leather brand Marcellino NY, he negotiated live with billionaire Tilman Fertitta on CNBC’s Billion Dollar Buyer (S01E03) — the kind of high-stakes experience that sharpens instincts most people never develop. At Maison Pawli, Peter handles the business infrastructure, the marketing systems, and the technology stack — so that Pawli can focus entirely on what she does best. Together, they cover every dimension of a successful transaction: the expertise, the strategy, and the technology — all under one roof, all working for you. |
