Downtown Westfield, MA is up and coming and I am thrilled to be able to work there and support the exciting new businesses that are popping up.

The construction is wrapping up, new businesses are setting up shop and it is Spring…come take a walk through Downtown Westfield, MA! Can’t get here in person? Here is a virtual walk…

We were both impressed with the upscale pub decor: lots of wood paneling, richly painted tin ceiling, nice lighting and good seating.

Our waitress, Shannon, greeted us quickly and after we perused the good sized draft beer samplings we ordered and were served quickly. The food is what I would describe as “upscale pub fare”. The servings were ample and the quality of the food was all good. We ordered a tomato soup, Caesar salad and quesadilla but we especially enjoyed the pesto pizza with caramelized onions, chicken and balsamic drizzle.

I am looking forward to making this a regular stop and thought that the setting was easily one of the nicest in town.

This is much more than a bar (although the bar is a nice looking one) and I recommend you give it a shot the next time you are looking for a nice casual dinner. Remember, if we want a vibrant and exciting downtown Westfield, it is up to us to make it that way!

I am adding this to my other favorite downtown destinations (besides Park Square Realty, obviously): Mama Cakes, Nails R Us, Ezra’s Mercantile and Leo’s Gallery Deli.

The lowest sale in Westfield was a mixed use property, a single family home with a store front for $30,000.

The highest sale in Westfield was a single family in the newer part of Ridgecrest for $514,000.

Located at the Pilgrim Candle shops at 16 Union Street, Westfield, MA the cafe is adorable and cozy.

They are using QR codes, text specials and Facebook to promote their restaurant and reach out to potential customers. Every week I get a text telling me about their special text promotion, which is a fabulous way to remind me to stop in there!

Check out my slideshow and then be sure to stop in and try their wonderful food!

Park Square Realty in Westfield, MA is a small locally owned company that knows how to get homes in the Westfield area SOLD. As one of the real estate agents in the Westfield office it makes me proud that we are so far ahead of the competition, especially when you know that our team is about 50 agents.

Park Square Realty has closed 144 transactions. The next two offices below us have closed 107 and 58 transactions.

What does that tell the home owner in Westfield, MA?

If you want your home sold, we have a far better chance of accomplishing your goal than our competition does. Success speaks.

If you are considering selling your home in Westfield, MA or Western Massachusetts, I hope you will let me interview for the job.

I responded:

Yes we do. They hang all over the office & are reviewed in meetings. We include our core values in our presentations. Those values are why I chose my company.

To which Michael asked”
‎Lesley: Excellent! I think that’s a great idea to have those items in plain view all the time. And it’s even greater than you chose your company BECAUSE of their mission statement and core values. What were the specific elements that attracted you to your company?

I started to type a long response on the Facebook thread and then I realized that it was really a blog post and something that I should share with my readers, clients and the public at large.

So, without further ado, here are Park Square Realty (and Lesley Lambert’s) core values and also why I chose Park Square Realty and you should, too!

This shop is first of all, absolutely beautiful.  The decor, lighting, style and ambiance are classy and comfortable making this a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.  They even have free wi-fi!

I sampled four chocolate truffles and they were all amazing, but I must say my favorite was the Violetta truffle.

The shop has ice cream during the warm months, too!  There were gift items available and I plan to purchase some truffles to give as hostess gifts for upcoming parties. Forget your diet and go try some! Be sure to visit Miss Sweets Facebook page AND the actually shop as soon as you can!
