LITTLETON, NH — As a first responder, Sean Carroll is used to helping people when they need it the most – as Carroll transitions careers, he found one in which he can still help consumers – real estate.

Carroll has joined the firm of Badger Peabody & Smith Realty as a Sales Associate based out of the Littleton office.

For over thirty years, Carroll has worked in prehospital medicine and firefighting in a dedicated public safety career. The move to real estate was a natural for Carroll as he explained, "I have always wanted to help, which is what drew me to public safely. Now as I transition to a new career, I am proud to still be working in a public service helping people navigate the purchase or sale of their property."

Andy Smith, Broker/Owner of Badger Peabody & Smith Realty said, "With Sean's career in public safety – he understands the importance of effectively communicating with people and how to best help them in a stressful time. While real estate is a change from Sean's previous career, we know the skills Sean possess will be a great addition to our team."

The firm has a dedicated program to assist those new to a real estate career, and Carroll will be guided through the program with his mentor, Nikki Barrett, the Managing Broker in the Littleton office.

Carroll moved to New Hampshire in 1985 and has worked in the public safety field from the Lakes Region to the Great North Woods and many towns in between. He lives in Lisbon and in his spare time enjoys cooking and spending time with family and friends.
