SYRACUSE — An official ribbon cutting ceremony took place Saturday, April 22, at Northern Lakes Realty, located at 207 W. Main St., Syracuse. According to the agency’s principal broker and owner Vince Beasley, the company has been operating out of the space for the past year, but has been renovating the building and was waiting for its completion before hosting the open house and grand opening.

Northern Lakes Realty has been part of the Syracuse business community since August 2014, and purchased their new location in 2015.

“We’re excited about our new location and renovation and we have great neighbors here in downtown Syracuse,” said Beasley. “I was granted the opportunity to start in the real estate world in 2002 through a close family friend.  Ever since then I have dreamed of the day when I could open a small business in our hometown.  That time has come and we are excited to offer our real estate services to our community.”

The ribbon cutting ceremony was co-hosted by the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce.
