Life at Sentry Commercial
Meet our Team: Mike Romano
From navigating complex development timelines to managing boots-on-the-ground construction efforts, Mike keeps our New Haven office (and job sites) running smoothly. In this episode, we talk project management, Commercial Development, and get an unexpected cameo from “the big man” Mark Duclos, SIOR himself… plus a brief sidebar about Mike’s four-legged friend dealing with some ruff days.
It’s a mix of expertise, real talk, and a little Sentry Commercial spirit—don’t miss it.

Christina D’Amato from Energy Resources
Yesterday, we had Christina D’Amato from Energy Resources join us for a great lunch + learn with our sales, property management, and construction teams.
She broke down how landlords and property owners can take advantage of Connecticut’s energy efficiency programs — covering everything from LED lighting and EV charging stations to solar, mechanical upgrades, and more. It was all about education and we’re excited to bring some of these options to our clients.
Big thanks to Meagan Cordi for organizing!

Taste of Hartford
We closed the office early on Friday and spent the afternoon out at Taste of Hartford, which we’re proud to sponsor. We encouraged our team to grab tickets, check out the event, and try some of the awesome food from local restaurants.
Afterward, we headed over to The REC Hartford to cool off, hang out, and just enjoy the rest of the day together. A bunch of us brought kids, nephews, and family—it turned into a really fun Friday with the Sentry Commercial crew.
Check out some of the pics from the day 👇

Memorial Day Weekend
At Sentry Commercial, we take this time to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our country. As a company built on care, commitment, and community, Memorial Day resonates deeply with our values.

3 Years for Patrick Nagle
3 years with Patrick Nagle.
He keeps our field ops tight, our buildings in check — and somehow finds a way to remind you he’s Irish every time you see him! ☘️
Patrick brings hustle, humor, and heart to everything he does. We’re lucky to have him on the team.
10 Years for Chris Duclos
Yesterday marked 10 years with Chris Duclos at Sentry Commercial.
If you know Chris, you know he brings his whole self — every day. He’s leading our brokerage group, holding down deals with Stephanie Romano Shaw, CCIM, and keeping our EOS team on track as our integrator. And somehow, he still finds time to check in, show up, and keep the most positive outlook in the room.
Chris has been a huge part of building who we are — from helping shape our customer commitment process to setting a standard we’re all proud to follow.
We’re so grateful for everything he’s done and who he is. Congrats on 10 years, Chris. We’re lucky to have you.
Meet the Team: Marcel Coronel
Meet Marcel Coronel, Director of Property Management at Sentry Commercial. We caught up with him at The Princeton Building in Watertown, where he’s based alongside Bubba.
Marcel manages this multi-tenanted office/manufacturing building, owned by THE SIEMON COMPANY LIMITED, with the same attention and care he brings across our portfolio.
What’s his favorite part of the job? “The people.”
CT Transfer Act Changes
Big thanks to Daniel Glissman and Dave Glissman from MacDermid, Reynolds & Glissman, P.C. , and Carver Glezen from Triton Environmental, LLC for joining us (in person and virtually) to break down the upcoming changes to the CT Transfer Act.
Starting March 1, 2026, Connecticut will shift to a release-based cleanup model — a big change that will impact how deals get done.
We’re committed to staying ahead of these shifts so our clients don’t miss a beat. Questions about how this affects you? Let’s connect.
We’re proud to be part of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce!
Looking forward to connecting with more local leaders and contributing to this dynamic business community. Thanks for the warm welcome! CRE CommunityMatters SentryCommercial

MEET THE TEAM: Meagan Cordi
Turning the camera on herself? Definitely more challenging than Meagan Cordi expected.
As Sentry Commercial’s Branding Strategist and Community Outreach Director, Meagan is typically behind the scenes — shaping how the brand is represented, building meaningful connections, and helping share the real stories of who Sentry Commercial is. But for this hashtagMeetTheTeam feature, she flipped the script and interviewed herself.
She shares a bit about her role, what makes Sentry Commercial special, why she loves The REC Hartford, and even a bit about her love of travel. And yes, editing her own video? Slightly awkward — especially watching herself try to land that final line. 😅
But that’s one of the things Meagan values most about her work — keeping it honest, relatable, and real.
