: Image by shersteve via Flickr

I am writing this to encourage anyone within driving distance of Westfield, MA to join the fun the weekend of February 4 & 5, 2011 at PodCamp Western MA 3.

The weekend is going to start off rocking on Friday night, February 4th, with Jon Berman opening for The Jeff Michaels Band at the Westwood in Westfield, MA. This is a FREE concert event and you do not have to attend the PodCamp functions to come enjoy these amazing musicians. Here is a sample of what you might hear from the Jeff Michaels Band.

On Saturday the 5th Westfield State University will host PodCamp Western MA 3 in the Horace Mann Center. This is an unconference on all things social media and internet based. For the low entry fee of $25 you will get a t-shirt, coffee, lunch and a day loaded with amazing content. Attendees will have the choice of sessions such as: “Facebook Privacy”, “Job Hunting”, “Social Media 101”, “I’m on Linkedin, Now What?”, “The Future of the Web: The Next Wave After Social”, and I will faciliate a sharing session on “How to shoot, edit and post a video in 15 minutes with your iPhone”.

These are just a sample of the types of sessions that will be held throughout the course of the day. There are also open rooms for impromtu tracks to be posted as needed, so if you have something you want to facilitate and share you can.

I have attended the past two PodCamp Western MA and have learned a ton and met some amazing people both times. My first PodCamp post “A PodCamp Virgin Tells All” and my thoughts after my second experience “This One Time at Podcamp” and the video from PodCamp Western MA 2.

Following a fabulous day of learning, we will continue to put the social in social media at The Tavern on Broad Street in Westfield, MA.

I hope I will see you at at least some of the functions, but it is going to be a weekend of fun, sharing and learning that you won’t want to miss! Come get your geek on at PodCamp and learn why everyone at PodCamp is a rock star!

Does Your Western MA REALTOR Do This? Online Open House

Everyone is busier than ever and many of us don’t have the free time to visit open houses, even if we do want to buy a home in Western Massachusetts.

Today was an especially cold day, the kind that no one leaves home unless they really need to. Park Square Realty had already scheduled an open house for my new listing at 81 Woodmont Street, Westfield, MA and decided that I would use the time at my property to try a new technique: Online Virtual Open House.

I used my iPhone to live stream from the property. The format shows the viewer a live video along with sound and a chat room so that viewers can type questions or converse with each other. While showing the property I offered to answer any questions the viewers may have about the house or real estate in Westfield, MA. As they typed their questions to me, I answered them out loud in real time.

I got wonderful feedback from the viewers that attended, in a poll of the the viewers 100% of them thought it was a good format and enjoyed being able to see a house this way.

If you want a Western MA real estate agent that is innovative, hard working and can provide proven results, call me, Lesley Lambert at Park Square Realty. I am working every day to provide new marketing services to augment my strong traditional marketing techniques. I would love the opportunity to meet with you personally and discuss all the tools I use to get my Western MA homes for sale SOLD.

Here is the video from the open house at 81 Woodmont Street, Westfield, MA:

Park Square Realty Top Real Estate Office in 2010

I don’t spend a lot of time bragging about statistics or spewing sales statistics, but it is important for you to know why I have chosen to work with Park Square Realty in Westfield, MA.

I began my real estate career with my mom who was broker/owner of a small office in Westfield, MA for decades. She retired and closed her office while I was on maternity leave. When I decided it was time to re-enter the real estate profession I picked Park Square Realty because they run their company with the same values and concepts that my mother and I believed in.

Another reason that I chose Park Square Realty was because of their high standards for full time REALTORS. These standards have created an environment of excellence and high production. Our team is small, about 55 agents (compared to our nearest competitions over 200 agents), but mighty.

I am proud to report that our company remains the top company for our service area in 2010.

PARK SQUARE REALTY IS:

#1 Real Estate Company for home sales in Westfield Sales in 2010.

#1 Real Estate Company for home sales in West Springfield, Agawam/Feeding Hills, Southwick & Westfield Quadrant Sales in 2010.

#1 Real Estate Company for home sales in Agawam, Feeding Hills & Westfield Sales in 2010.

The final standings for the agents in the company aren’t out as of this post, but I was the #1 agent for the first half of 2010. This has been a good year for Park Square Realty and for me and I look forward to another year of helping people in Western Massachusetts buy and sell homes. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help!

Westfield MA Construction Update- Park Square Town Green

As a resident and real estate agent in Westfield, MA I can tell you first hand what a pain in the bum this year’s construction has been.

Not only is it making for even more traffic going North and South in Westfield, but downtown the Town Green, Elm Street, Broad Street and Main Street have all been under major construction, too.

This spring I had to buy a new set of tires because I hit a hole in the road under construction on Main Street and I resorted to working from home most of the summer and fall as Park Square Realty is located on Elm Street, Westfield where there was massive roadwork. My nine year old wants to create a petition that prevents there from being more than two road projects at a time…I guess she is tired of sitting in the traffic, too!

A major sadness throughout this process has been the demolition of our town green. The large trees and fountain were removed, the entire area bulldozed and it has become a construction center with piles of rocks and dirt and machines on it.

Tonight the Westfield City Council approved the 1.9 million dollar Town Green project, including a much contested $350,000 gazebo. The full story from Masslive.com can be seen here.

Now I am really not sure how big a gazebo has to be to cost $350,000. I have sold some really nice homes in that price point. I wonder if the gazebo is going to have granite counter tops and a jacuzzi tub?

I am, like most Westfield, MA residents, really looking forward to the day that they complete these projects and get our Town Green returned to us. Here is a cool 3D flyby virtual video of the completed project to tide you over while we endure more construction:
