After nearly half a century of serving the community, a well-known real estate office on Main Street is closing its doors. Western Real Estate of Wyoming, a staple in the local market, will cease operations as announced by its owner-brokers, Shirley Lehman and Ed Higbie.
The decision to close was not made lightly, with both Lehman and Higbie reflecting on the many years they have dedicated to helping residents find their dream homes. Throughout their tenure, the office has built a reputation for integrity, professionalism, and a deep commitment to the community.
As the real estate landscape continues to evolve, the owners recognized that the time had come to step back. The closure marks the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy of trust and excellence in service. The community will undoubtedly feel the impact of this loss, as many remember the office as a reliable source for real estate needs over the decades.
