You may have a real estate agent that you have worked with in the past, and has done a good job for you. In that case, it’s easy.

However, if that’s not the case, you’ll need to strategize to find the best fit.

‘We Are Saddened to Inform You…’

A sign on the front door of Post 154 Restaurant, 154 Post Road East, notifies all of its closing. There was no immediate word from the owners on plans for the property, purchased in 2011 for $2.35 million from the U.S. Postal Service. The closing follows closely on the heels of the recent closing by Bertucci’s Italian Restaurant and the announced March 31 closing of Bobby Q’s, both longtime Westport dining spots, and last year, by The Red Barn and Mario’s Place (which changed hands).
