Nocher Realty is now open on Depot Street in Pittsfield.

For real

As one of the leading brokers in the area, Jason Nocher, along with his wife, Jennifer, decided it was time to grow their business and open their our own agency. Their first office opened in in downtown Pittsfield at 34 Depot St. at the start of February and they kicked things off with many new listings throughout Berkshire County.

Before opening his own agency, Jason was a top seller in a large local firm. Jennifer will serve as office manager. Jason enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, hiking, camping and fishing. Jennifer enjoys spending time with her family, traveling and jogging.

Nocher Realty added a new agent in the field, Jeff King, who comes with a great land and building development background. They are also opening our doors to agents that need a place and want to work with a high-energy team.

 

Business roundtable

Berkshire Money Management has invited several Berkshire entrepreneurs to participate in the first of a series of "business roundtables" in which attendees are invited to discuss the many challenges facing local businesses during a time of great transition. The event is by invite only, and will take place on Thursday, March 8, at 2 p.m. at BMM's new headquarters at the Model Farm at 161 Main St. in Dalton. For information, call 413-997-2006.

John Krol of the John Krol Show will moderate the discussion, which will also include Fred Rutberg of the Berkshire Eagle, Barbara Pickwell of Wohrle's, Zogics founder Paul LeBlanc, Main Street Hospitality's Sarah Eustis, and BMM founder and CEO Allen Harris.The 60-minute session will be aired on Krol’s podcast. There will be time allotted for questions at the end of the roundtable.

The roundtable discussion will specifically address the major concerns put forth by Berkshire business owners, including hiring reliable, skilled employees and increases in general costs (i.e. healthcare and utilities). Per the Berkshire Business Confidence Index (BCI), a quarterly survey of nearly 4,000 local decision makers -distributed and analyzed by Berkshire Money Management - these are the two most pressing issues, alongside retirement and anticipating competition and new technologies.
