About Jennings Real Estate Services
Start with deals that look like yours
A distribution lease, a manufacturing building sale, and a headquarters relocation each call for a different approach. These three Greater Springfield transactions show how Jennings Real Estate Services handles those assignments.
Springfield industrial leasing | 100 Brookdale Drive. Jennings secured Breakaway Real Estate LLC, the real estate entity for Manny’s Appliances, for 50,000 square feet of distribution space. We marketed the property around its 12 truck docks and highway access, targeting distributors that could put those features to work. The incoming tenant took over without a vacancy gap.

Agawam industrial sale | 609 Silver Street. Jennings worked with ownership on the acquisition, subsequent leasing, and eventual $6.4 million sale of this 90,000-square-foot industrial building. Applied Chemistries Inc., an established Agawam business, acquired the property to relocate and expand its operations. Read the Agawam industrial sale case study
West Springfield headquarters acquisition | 122 Doty Circle. Jennings helped M.L. Schmitt acquire a property for its new headquarters. The purchase gave the company space it could occupy immediately and room for future expansion. Read the West Springfield headquarters relocation case study
Ask what will drive the price and who will pay it
If you’re selling an industrial building in Chicopee or leasing a warehouse in Holyoke, ask the broker to explain which closed transactions support their pricing and how your building compares. Two buildings with similar square footage can appeal to very different users. Loading, clear height, electrical capacity, truck circulation, and the cost of adapting the space all affect who can use it and what they can justify paying.
The same principle applies to commercial property. For an office acquisition, layout, parking, and the cost of getting the space ready can determine whether a move makes sense. For a leased investment, the tenant’s credit, remaining lease term, and the owner’s capital obligations help determine which buyers will pursue it and how they’ll price it.
Ask how the broker will reach the right prospects
Before you sign a listing agreement, ask who the broker plans to contact directly, how they’ll qualify prospects, and what they’ll do if the first round of outreach falls short. A useful answer should be specific to your building and your timing. If a tenant is leaving, for example, the plan should account for when the space can be shown, what it will take to deliver it, and which users can move on that schedule.
That’s the approach we bring to assignments across Springfield, Chicopee, Holyoke, Agawam, West Springfield, Westfield, and East Longmeadow. We give clients a straight, market-based read on value, identify who is most likely to act, and stay involved through the closing or lease signing.
