In a positive economic note, this week Peabody & Smith Realty announced it would be moving from their 91 Main Street Littleton location in February to new office space at 11 Riverglen Lane, along the Ammonoosuc River. While so many companies are downsizing their space needs, Peabody & Smith is actually increasing, a move that is a positive signal for the area.For Andy Smith, broker/owner of Peabody & Smith Realty, the move is really a return to where he got his start in Littleton in 1980. Smith said, “The building is a beautifully renovated 1850’s post & beam barn where I first had my motorcycle dealership. After I moved the dealership into a new building, it housed Deacon’s Bench Furniture, and now we’ll be returning to office space on the second floor, with the first floor currently occupied by the Alpine Clinic and Broker Mojo.” He added, “We’re looking forward to the move in late February, and feel that we’ll have a nice large space that is more conducive to meet with clients and customers, as we’ll have a dedicated conference room and more. Plus, there is ample on-site parking making it very convenient for customers and staff.” Smith added, “I’m optimistic about the future of real estate, and feel in these times it just makes sense to move forward boldly, when opportunities arise.”
Their current office is located next to Hunkins & Eaton Insurance, in a building owned by Greg Eastman, owner of Hunkins & Eaton. Eastman said, “We’ve been long time neighbors and friends with everyone at Peabody & Smith and are certainly going to miss them next door. However, we look forward to finding a new tenant for the space – it’s a great Main Street location with office space on the lower level, retail window space on Main Street and access to the back parking lot and street for deliveries. It’s a great location for many types of businesses, and we’ve had inquiries already and are hopeful that we’ll have a new neighbor soon.”
Peabody & Smith will move their office during the weekend of February 21st and 22nd and will be open at their new location on Monday, February 23rd.
With 23 full time Realtors, and a support staff of six, Peabody & Smith Realty has offices in Franconia, Littleton and St. Johnsbury.
