Karl Norwood Named Realtor of the Year by the
Commercial Investment Board of REALTORS®
Karl Norwood, of NAI Norwood Group in Bedford New Hampshire, has been selected as REALOR® Of The Year from the Commercial Investment Board of REALTORS® (CIBOR).
Karl began his business career early in 1965. Upon leaving college he started a milk delivery business, Norwood's Dairy, which helped establish a solid base of customers that later translated into a client base for his real estate business. In 1968 Karl, along with his wife, Louise Norwood, opened their first residential real estate office and sold the milk business to concentrate exclusively on real estate. The company grew rapidly in the 1970's and 80's, becoming the largest multi- faceted real estate company in the State. In 1982 they sold the residential company to concentrate on the commercial side of the business in addition to land development, home building, property management, and international investments. The company has developed over $100 million in real estate projects ranging from industrial, office parks, and retail. All of these development projects were sensitive to land use, sound planning, and architectural integrity.
In 2008 Karl re-entered the residential business as Real Living/The Norwood Group which continues to grow. “Our NAI Norwood Group specializes in commercial, retail and industrial brokerage including consulting services. I believe our strongest marketing tool is the attitude and willingness of our staff and agents to contribute back to the community. Our reputation is our strongest asset,” stated Karl Norwood.
After making the announcement, CIBOR President Chris Norwood explained that the Board’s judges made their selection after considering the records of numerous of contenders for the prestigious honor. The basis of judgment, he said, was the contribution of the REALTOR® to the betterment of the community and his or her conduct of business reflecting the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS®.
CIBOR plans to submit the name and record of their REALTOR® Of The Year in the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® statewide competition for the state REALTOR® Of The Year, where all Board ROTYs are recognized at the state convention in September.

Press Release for Chester College
PRESS RELEASE Contact: Sarah Carson 668-7000
NAI Norwood Group to Market Chester College of New England
Chester, NH – NAI Norwood Group is pleased to announce they are currently marketing Chester College of New England in Chester, New Hampshire. Karl Norwood, John Hoben, and Chris Norwood, all of NAI Norwood Group, are the brokers and advisors to the college. The college recently closed its doors following May’s commencement ceremony. Prior to closing the school was home to some 200+/- art students each year with offerings including a full library, art space, dormitories and kitchen.
There are many opportunities for reuse and redevelopment of the former Chester College campus in Chester New Hampshire. Chester is a quintessential small New England town, a ten mile drive from New Hampshire’s largest city of Manchester and a fifty mile drive to Boston, Massachusetts. The campus is located seven miles from Interstate 93 and nine miles from NH Route 101.
The small New England art campus underwent substantial renovation in the mid 2000’s with numerous improvements in many of their buildings. Most of the upgrades were directed to code, life safety and energy enhancements which brought the campus up to date. The single largest and most recent expansion was the 2002 construction of Preston Hall, a 23,000± SF modern student residence hall.
The campus sits on two lots, and is offered for sale either in its whole or in parts, subject to sub-division. NAI Norwood Group is currently marketing the college with five different scenarios in which their sister company Real Living The Norwood Group has been brought in to market two residential properties. One of these properties being Douglas Hall.
Douglas Hall, formerly the Governor Bell House, was first built by Ebeneezer Flagg around in the mid 1700’s. The main house wasn’t added as the Governor Bell House until the early 1800’s. The Queen Anne style home can be purchased separately from the college campus as well as other buildings on the campus. The Bell family was very well known not just in Chester but throughout the state of New Hampshire as four generations of Bell family men served as governor.
“There is substantial infrastructure that is in place. We are hopeful that the end buyer or institutional user can make use of the large gathering facilities and dormitories,” said Chris Norwood, Executive Vice President, NAI Norwood Group.
