This was by far the best and easiest experience we had finding our new home in an entirely new area…read morefrom Florida to Boston and we have not only Metro Realty to thank, but Rebecca Phillips especially! We had plenty of questions and worries finding a place close to my grad school, near transportation, that met our financial needs and had things like parking laundry availability etc. Especially as this was long distance with our preparation to move across states and with Covid-19 precautions they went the extra mile of providing virtual tours ! Rebecca patiently withstood back and forth emails with all these questions, confirmations, etc on the landlords behalf between multiple units we were looking at and ultimately worked with us on finalizing details for our new rented apartment. No background fees, sketchy practices or bombarding with pushy messages etc., I've experienced with other moves over the last 4-5 years and we much appreciated their professionalism throughout the entire process down to the key exchange. Definetly check the company out and ask for Rebecca she'll make sure you find a great place to live !

One of the worst places I've ever stayed & definitely not worth what we paid…read more ONLY PRO was the location - a double edge sword. Centered in a great area HOWEVER - CONs would be the location as well. Directly across the street is a homeless shelter and we got to enjoy a ton of arguing and fights at all times of the night and early morning. Lots of ambulances and every morning between 6:30-6:45 AM. we woke up to construction right outside the bedroom window. The building is poorly insulated and you get to hear everything. Hope you're not a light sleeper! DAY 1 the bathroom flooded due to the toilet not operating/flushing properly. The maintenance guy who came to look at it just put the lid on top of it and walked away. DAY 2 another maintenance guy came who admitted he was not a plumber so I helped him. Showed him the toilet needs a trip lever and a float for the flapper chain, which is on the instructions that is directly underneath the lid of every Kohler toilet. He swapped the trip lever and quickly left so we had to assume it was fixed. That would be a big NO. I adjusted the fill valve to the proper height. I bent the new trip lever so that it would work since it was the wrong one. Adjusted the flapper chain and made it so it will flush just have to hold the trip lever down the whole time. I alerted the property manager, they said they would send out another person. DAY 3 an older disgruntled man shows up, he was arrogant, condescending,and extremely rude. Making comments about me being a plumber longer than me and not knowing what I'm doing, even though the directions for the toilet are directly under the lid and I showed them that. He continue to insult me even though he was incorrect so I told him to go ahead and leave. I called management asked them to have a supervisor or someone important to give me a call about the way I was treated and crickets. They were supposed to send me the check in instructions. They didn't. I called and left several messages. I texted the phone number several times. For an entire hour I got no response. I walked into one of the buildings where the address was supposed to be and that building's desk person knew exactly who I was supposed to talk to and ended up getting me a hold of somebody right away. They completely ignored me, but this guy had a different number for them. They misplaced my info & online info form so I had to do that again. They falsely advertised this place. They gave us an address in between 2 buildings. They have over 200 pictures online and 3 of them belong to this crappy condo and of course they only put the best pictures of this dump online. This condo is subpar, it's got lipstick on the pig. It needs a serious renovation, a lot of things don't work correctly or at all. This place is gross and the management is absolutely horrible.

Do not rent an apartment managed by the Hamilton Company…read more They never respond to emails or maintenance requests. Our CO detector was broken for days with no repair. There is frequent late-night noise that management does nothing about. There was even a large fire in the trash area, and no one ever investigated the cause. When it snows, there is little to no effort to clear the roads within the property. Overall, management is unresponsive and neglectful. DO NOT RENT WITH THE HAMILTON COMPANY. They will take literally 15 days to respond to any message. What a garbage.

If you're an engineer type like me, he'll give you a spreadsheet market analysis, if you are are more mood and feel, he will speak to that. 5) Great negotiator 6) Super punctual and responsive, we pulled off a 30-day closing window which wouldn't have been possible w/o Rich's professionalism I could go on. So glad we found him.

I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!
