I switched from Wordpress to Squarespace back in 2013 and did see a slight drop in my google rankings (I had some SEO work done while with Wordpress to be on page 1, but slowly dropped to around page 3-4)
However, I was able to get my google ranking back to page 1 with blog posts, keywords, gaining backlinks, etc. for my market in Michigan. I would assume it would be much harder to do in a market like NY.
The biggest reason why I made the switch was for a more user-friendly interface where SS is more 'drag & drop' and easy to customize/update. Also, at the time, I felt SS offered cleaner templates to chose from than WP. But there are a lot of nice WP templates available now - i've seen some just like the SS theme I'm currently using.
Overall I am happy with SS and haven't noticed any drop in inquiries, was able to rebuild my SEO, but I might be hesitant if I were looking to switch currently where I think WP has caught up for design options & if you already have a pretty good SEO google ranking it might be more hassle (than you'd like) to rebuild.
Looking at your website, it looks really nice/clean already, so what benefits are you looking for if you switched? They also offer a 2-week trial to test out a template and get a feel for how SS operates to see how you like it, which i'd recommend
