That experience helped him establish many area connections and networks, and in 1968 Norwood and his wife, Louise, sold the milk business and opened their first residential real estate office.

The company grew rapidly through the 1970's and 80's, becoming one of the largest multi-faceted real estate companies in the New Hampshire and, in 1982, they sold the residential company to concentrate on the commercial side of the real estate business, in addition to land development, home building, property management, and international investments.

The company has since developed more $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, Norwood re-entered the residential business as Real Living/The Norwood Group, which continues to grow.
