Sean Hantes

Sean Hantes is a Wealth Advisor at The Pitti Group. He works primarily with University of Rochester professionals and families throughout the Rochester, New York region. Sean specializes in tax-efficient retirement income planning: helping clients coordinate Social Security timing, investment strategy, and long-term tax exposure so they can retire with clarity and confidence. Many of the U of R professionals Sean works with are already thoughtful savers and disciplined planners. His role is to refine and coordinate the key financial decisions that matter most, ensuring their retirement income plans are aligned with the life they want to live. Sean has extensive experience working with University of Rochester faculty, clinicians, researchers, and administrative professionals, and understands the retirement plans, benefits, and financial considerations that are unique to the U of R community. Sean is committed to providing a calm, structured, and highly personalized planning experience for those who value clarity, long-term thinking, and trusted guidance.

You could say that Sean is a “ROCHESTER LIFER”, being a lifelong resident of Rochester (Chili, Brighton, and now Fairport), a graduate from the University of Rochester (Meliora!), and a former Professional Soccer Player for the Rochester Lancers.

When Sean is not helping his clients achieve their vision, he enjoys making memories with his partner Chelsea, their 1-year-old daughter Josie, and their adorable bulldog Otis.
