Helping people make smart moves in Western Massachusetts and Northwestern Connecticut

I’m Lesley Lambert, a REALTOR® with Park Square Realty, and I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes for more than 35 years. I work with clients throughout Western Massachusetts and Northwestern Connecticut, with a special heart for the communities I know best because I’ve lived, worked, raised my family, and built my life here.

Real estate is rarely just about bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. It is about timing, family, finances, change, and sometimes the very real emotion of leaving a home that has held years of your life. My job is to help you think it through clearly, market your home strategically, and move forward with confidence, not pressure.

Whether you’re preparing to sell, starting to explore your next move, or simply trying to understand what today’s market means for you, I’m here as a local resource, a steady guide, and someone who will tell you the truth kindly.

The Story Behind “The Dancing Realtor”

The Story Behind “The Dancing Realtor”

If you dance, you know that recital season has a way of unlocking memories you forgot were still sitting quietly inside you somewhere.

This week, I found myself digging through old photographs after one of my former dance teachers and forever friends, Loree Cloud, handed me an envelope of old pictures she had saved over the years. Inside was a very real and very awkward teenage dance photo of me from the 1980s, complete with what can only be described as an entire orthodontic ecosystem attached to my teeth.

Naturally, I immediately put the photo on the internet.

But somewhere between laughing at the hair, the braces, and the intensity of my dance pose, I started thinking about how deeply dance shaped my life, and how connected it still is to the person I became.

A lot of people know me now as a Realtor. Some know me as “The Dancing Realtor.” But what many people probably don’t realize is that dance was never just a childhood hobby for me. It was one of the deepest parts of my identity long before real estate became my career.

My mother is the entire reason for that.

She saw something in me very early, and she pushed me toward dance long before I understood what it would eventually give me. It wasn’t necessarily the path my father would have chosen for us, and money certainly wasn’t endless, but my mother found ways to support it anyway. She drove me to lessons, encouraged me, invested in it, and made room for this creative part of me to grow.

Looking back now, I realize she wasn’t just paying for dance classes. She was helping shape my confidence, creativity, discipline, performance skills, and ability to express myself publicly. So many things I use every single day in my career and life trace directly back to those years in the dance studio.

By the time I graduated from Westfield State in 1992 with an English degree and communications concentration, I thought my future was probably heading toward media, public relations, or writing. I was already licensed in real estate by then and selling homes to help pay my way through college, but I still thought of real estate as the practical path while creativity was the thing I loved.

Life, of course, had other plans.

The recession hit New England hard in the early 1990s, and the more traditional communications jobs I imagined suddenly felt unstable. At the same time, my mother gave me room inside her real estate company to explore media and marketing in ways that were incredibly unusual at the time. I hosted a weekly television show called ERA Homes Today on Channel 40, worked in marketing and public relations for the company, and eventually received an international award from ERA for my media work in 1994.

At the same time, I was still teaching dance constantly.

Somewhere along the way, “The Dancing Realtor” became an actual thing. I recently unearthed this old video of me tap dancing while fully leaning into the nickname years ago, long before personal branding was even really part of the conversation in real estate.

Watching it now feels equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, and strangely emotional because I can already see all the pieces of my life starting to merge together.

For years, I thought these were separate parts of my life. The creative side and the practical side. The dancer and the Realtor.

Lately, though, I’ve started realizing they were never actually separate at all.

The storytelling, the communication, the performance background, the creativity, the understanding of emotion and presentation and human connection… all of those things became part of how I built my real estate career and how I connect with people today.

I recently wrote a much more personal essay about all of this over on my Substack, including the full story behind that awkward dance photo and the realization that maybe I never stopped being a creative person after all.

And yes, those braces were absolutely their own ecosystem.

What My Clients Think

“We spoke with 2 other brokers before Lesley. They both told us we needed to make substantial investments in the home before selling it. They also recommended low selling points and were in a word “pushy”. Lesley felt we only needed to do a couple minor upgrades and suggested a selling point which was about $15,000 higher than the previous high. She was spot on with everything. Our time frame to get the house on the market shifted due to a family members illness. She was understanding, considerate, respectful and patient. We can not praise or recommend her enough. Lesley is a gem.”
“I have always and will always continue to use Lesley Lambert as my realtor. It has always been a positive as well as fun experience! Lesley is the best! Loree Cloud Westfield Mass”
“Lesley Lambert made herself very available under limited circumstances. We live in Arizona and were buying a summer residence in Southwick, MA. She worked with our daughter during viewings, inspections and walk through in our absence. She made sure that we were updated during the entire process. We were very pleased with her professional work in helping us get a lawyer and the remote sale. Rosalie and John Dialessi, Mesa, AZ”
“Lesley is a real pleasure to work with and manages difficult circumstances and people with skill and a disarming demeanor that is critical in successfully dealing people and their individual circumstances. I thank her sincerely for her work. Paul L, Westfield, MA”
“I was very happy with my choice of Lesley Lambert and Park Square Realty as my broker. I was very satisfied with Leslie and also with the professionals she referred me to (photographers, lawyers, contractors, etc). There were many showings of my house from the minute it hit the market, and I accepted an offer within one week of listing. Lesley walked me through the entire process and was very professional. Ali, Westfield”
“Lesley Lambert helped us find our home in Westfield, MA. She was fun, efficient and aware of the possible fits for our family and lifestyle. She is very current with technology and connected with the community so she is always up to date. Leslie is the sort of agent who we will ask to help us again when we are in the market. She is definitely one of the best!”
“Lesley Lambert is professional, and thoroughly knowledgeable in the surrounding communities. This spring, we listed our family's condo, represented by Lesley. Lesley had sold our previous home, too. This time, Lesley sold our family condo. We successfully closed less than a month. We feel fortunate to have Lesley guide us through the contract process of what can be otherwise overwhelming.”
