Aho represented the buyer in the purchase of an 8,214 s/f auto related building on 0.76 acres of land at 492 South St. in Marlboro in September for $1.5 million. The buyer owns Harlen’s Auto Center located just up the street from the property and wanted to buy a property for his company’s use. Jeff Lefebvre of George & Company represented the seller.

Aho Properties then represented the seller of a 68-unit multifamily complex at 75 Groton School Rd. in Ayer.
