Real Estate Firm Gets Chique New Office Building

By Samantha Howe

Weichert, Realtors - Engle & Hambright (WREH) is a real estate company based out of Lancaster, PA. Their motto: Serve your customers well, and success will follow. This has proven to work for them because customer satisfaction is extremely high. This has led their business to grow and caused a need for a larger work environment.

Because WREH has gone from 11 to 98 agents since 2005, and they needed to expand, they took it apon themselves to do some revamping of the place while they were at it. The goal was to create a more contemporary place where their "forward-thinking" agents can be inspired to work at their best. And to provide an attractive and functional space for both collaboration and desk work.

The spaces designed for collaboration have colorful patterns and oversized furniture pieces, creating a lively and inspiring backdrop. Through out the office there is a use of bright colors on the walls complementing the contemporary desks and chairs. This is juxtaposed with reclaimed wooden tables in the larger rooms.

During the renovations certain amenities were added to make office life even more pleasant. Along with having room now for a training room for new agents, there is also a kitchen complete with coffee bar and seating for the flat screen TV.

The reception area was also given a very colorful facelift. The reception desk was decorated in a contemporary tile pattern which uses the same lively colors seen on the walls and in the throw pillows. The waiting area is warm and welcoming and the backlit Logo on the wall lets you know exactly whose office you stepped into.

The votes are unanimous, the redecoration was a hit. Guests, clients and even there children were all wowed at the entrance. It gives them the impression that this is a hip successful place and that the people who work there are the kind of innovative, proactive people that you want to do business with.

And i personally agree. Taking a simple office space and making it something inspiring is a beautiful thing to me. I love that they chose colorful patterns and bright paint on the walls; The dark leathers and wood furniture contrast well. I love that the large conference tables are made from Reclaimed Lancaster Wood.

The kitchen/break area was also a great addition to the space. But with the use of very modern tables and chairs and the hanging bar lights over the counter top, i feel that this space came of a little more retro than the rest of the more contemporary space.

The lobby makes a statement when you walk in. i find that to be a very important thing to small businesses because it gives the client an idea of the companies attitude and shows what direction the company is going in. This lobby is fun, alive and chique; while also being clean and contemporary. I think that illustrates exactly what WREH is trying to say to its clients: Yes i'm attractive and stylish, but i'm also hellbent on getting all your needs met in a timely manner, satisfaction guaranteed. And what company wouldn't want that to be the thought going through each clients mind as they pass through their doors?
