Your Friendly Guide to Listing with Lesley Lambert, REALTOR® with Park Square Realty covering Western MA and NW CT.

Hi! I’m Lesley Lambert with Park Square Realty—and if you’re thinking about selling your home, you’re in the right place.

Lesley Lambert, REALTOR

Selling your home is a big deal. It’s not just a transaction—it’s your next chapter. My goal? Make sure you turn the page confidently, easily, and maybe even a little excitement. Here’s how I help make it all feel easier.

🧐 Common Seller Concerns (and How I Solve Them)

“I don’t even know where to start.”
That’s exactly what I’m here for. From your first question to the closing table, I guide you every step of the way. We’ll start with a no-obligation consultation so you feel empowered—not overwhelmed.

“How do I price my home correctly?”
Overpricing can scare away buyers, and underpricing leaves money on the table. With my 100.8% list-to-sold price record, I use market data and strategy to get you the most money—fast.

“My house needs work… should I fix things or sell as-is?”
You don’t have to guess. I’ll help you decide where a small effort makes a big impact—and what you can skip. I also have trusted local contacts if you need help with repairs, cleaning, or staging.

“I don’t have time for showings and all the prep.”
Selling a home while living in it is a juggling act. I make it easier with clear timelines, flexible showing options, and checklists that keep you on track without the stress.

“I’ve heard horror stories about communication.”
Not with me. I pride myself on staying in touch, giving you updates, and being available when you need me. You’ll never feel left in the dark.

The Heart of Stoney Hill Condominiums, Westfield, MA : A Community Story

The Heart of Stoney Hill Condominiums: A Community Story

Living in Stoney Hill Condominiums in Westfield, MA, is not just about having a place to call home but embracing a vibrant community. One of the most delightful aspects of life here is the warm camaraderie among neighbors. As I stroll through the well-kept grounds, it’s heartwarming to see residents waving to one another, exchanging friendly smiles that transcend the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Recently, I had a particularly touching encounter that encapsulates the essence of our community. On a beautiful day, I noticed an almost 90-year-old gentleman sitting outside his garage. He was comfortably settled in a lawn chair, enjoying the sunshine and smoking his pipe. It struck me how this simple act of sitting outside could create such a welcoming atmosphere. I couldn’t resist the urge to introduce myself.

As we chatted, he shared that he loves watching people drive by and enjoys seeing their dogs during walks. My 20-year-old daughter often comments on how sweet it is to see him outside, and she and I have often discussed seeing him and how he gives us a happy vibe.

I felt an instant connection and promised to return with my newly adopted dog. I can already envision the joy on his face when he sees a friendly pup trotting by, adding to the vibrant tapestry of our neighborhood.

This encounter was a beautiful reminder of the power of community in Stoney Hill, Westfield, MA, and beyond. It’s the small moments that bring us closer together, reminding us that, despite our busy lives, we can stop and appreciate the kindness that exists right outside our doors.

Stoney Hill Condominiums in Westfield, MA is not just a place to live; it’s a community filled with friendly faces and heartwarming stories. If you’re considering a move to Westfield, MA, I encourage you to experience the warmth and camaraderie that make Stoney Hill a truly special place to call home. Come for the beautiful homes, stay for the wonderful people!

Accessory Dwelling Units regulations for Westfield, MA

You may have heard that Massachusetts approved the ability for homeowners to build accessory dwelling units. That happened in February of 2025 as part of the Affordable Homes Act. Under this ruling, the law stipulates that ADUs under 900 square feet can be built by right in single-family zoning districts. It is, however, up to each city to determine what their specific requirements will be. The City of Westfield, MA recently approved their guidelines. Here is a graphic that explains those guidelines:

This is a great opportunity for families that want to have a family member live with them but retain independence and privacy. The hope is that this change will make the housing crunch loosen up a bit and become more affordable for the citizens of Westfield, MA. If you have a family member that wants to downsize into an ADU please feel free to reach out to me to assist with the transition.

Did You Know? Now a licensed REALTOR in both Massachusetts and Connecticut!

I have been a licensed REALTOR in Massachusetts for going on 35 years, but I recently decided to branch out into the Connecticut real estate market.

I worked in Connecticut as a dance educator at New England Dance Center’s Simsbury, CT and Granby, CT for decades. Additionally, I worked as the choreographer for Simsbury Summer Theater for 20 years. I no longer hold those positions, but I knew a lot of people through that work and I want them to know that I am here to help them with their real estate needs!

I cover the lower Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts and will focus on Northwest Connecticut (Hartford County), but if you have a real estate need outside of those locations-don’t hesitate to reach out. I have real estate connections all around the world and can assist you in finding the perfect agent to make your dreams come true.

As always, if I can be of assistance, even just to answer a question…just give me a shout, I am here to help.

Do Presidential Elections Impact Real Estate in Western Massachusetts and Beyond?

Do Presidential Elections Impact Real Estate in Western Massachusetts and Beyond?

The simple answer is yes, but probably not in the way you think. Real estate transactions tend to taper off in an election year as people wait to see the results before they feel comfortable making a large decision like buying or selling real estate. During an election year, many people are watching to see how the candidates might help to reduce interest rates, improve the lack of inventory, and add affordable housing.

The amount of impact varies depending on which expert opinion you read and can also be very geographic in nature.

Many people do not understand that the President does not have immediate control over interest rates and must have the cooperation of the Senate and Congress to make any large changes that impact housing. Matt Myre of BiggerPockets did some analyzing on this topic and wrote: “It turns out that I could not find much evidence suggesting that the housing market moves in one way or another based on election years. The stock market tends to react. Bond yields sometimes. But not housing.” Source article.

With the consent of the Senate, the President does have the power to appoint members of the Federal Reserve, but the Federal Reserve is an independent agency. Keep in mind that the central bank has the power to raise, lower, or maintain interest rates without approval from the legislative or executive branches. Therefore, a president cannot do anything to prevent the Fed from raising rates.

What is the takeaway here? Well, do your research, but there doesn’t seem to be any historical proof that an election or a new President significantly impacts the real estate market. As I always say, the right time to buy or sell real estate is when you want or need to buy or sell real estate.

So, the impact that an election year has on the real estate market is circumstantial and based on people’s opinions, but not statistically proven in any large way.

As always, if you have any real estate questions, I am always here to help!
