Went to a viewing with John Tringale in Medford and it was awful. The house was fine but he was the…read moremost unprofessional realtor I have ever met. The only thing he did was lead us into the house. He didn't have a key and we had to wait 20 minutes for the current tenant to arrive to the house, so I can't even say he was good for unlocking the door. We walked in and he eagerly interacted with the current tenant, making small talk, catching up. He mostly ignored the potential renters (us). When he wasn't schmoozing with the current tenant, he was answering calls on his cell phone, and MAKING calls, completely unavailable for questions from us about the rooms and rental property. When we finally caught him between his phone calls, we asked questions to which he didn't know the answer, or to which he answered vaguely. I suppose that he treated us in a condescending and informal manner due to our age (early 20s) but that does not justify being unprofessional on the job. No matter how young we look, we were there to do business and I didn't get the impression that he was trying very hard to rent the house out to us. I loved the house but I will hold out for other apartments shown by other realtors just to avoid paying John the finder's fee and giving his company business. You have been warned.

The agency has shown little to no regard for their "clients" and the experience some endure when they encounter an agent as incompetent as we have. Just documenting our complaint alone was exhausting and time consuming. Because it's so long we are unable to even post the entire complaint on Yelp because of its length. All I can say is if you work with this Keller Williams agency please use caution and take your time when selecting an agent. Don't just agree to do business with the first broker that walks out and has the time to sit down with you or possible show you their OWN listing that day. If you do decide to take on business please GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING! Don't agree to use the shaky at best "Dot Loop" applications, they don't process well and after all the difficulties we inquired using them we doubt the security of the system in the first place! Carlina cashed her brokers commission check for $2,450 equal to one months rent a week before my landlord had even seen a dime or signed our legal lease. She stated to me several times that no one cashes checks unit a LEGAL lease is signed. My bank charged me $140.00 overdraft fee for her early check cashing as well! That Friday when I went to pump gas and was unable too it was followed by a bank visit. When I text Carlina about the over drafting I was upset. Stated that she wasn't a very good broker and from this point forward I asked her not to contact me. I would be driving from Maine to Mass the following Monday morning after requesting a meeting with her boss Tom Heany. From there on he "took" on the finishing touches to my lease finally being signed. My experience with Keller William's has only gotten more surpassing and worse since he has gotten involved! I have reached out to their "owner" Jessica and she conveniently on her way to Hong Kong for several weeks and referred me back to Tom. Who when presented with my six page complaint read it in lighting fashion and proceeded to tell me that he still felt Keller Williams had no accountability for any of the wrong doing or misleading. Its all about their checks and that's it. Clients needs come in dead last. No one is held accountable or takes responsibility for there actions! They are not representing Keller Williams with integrity and leadership that the brand is normally known for. Christina LeBel Taryn Kaczmerek

Who would want a realtor that harasses you to get your property listing. His goal was to list it, Wrong approach buddy!

When we raised our concern to her and presented the actual agent we hired, she ended up extorting our agent for half of their commission.

Dillon seems very knowledgeable, experienced, and genuine. Amber was honest, professional, kind, and gave us a really solid viewing considering our time frame. While my experience with their agency was overall favorable - there was one part that we wished was improved. (Know that we gave them a very short time frame and this is my first time renting an apartment so I probably had some communication errors/mistakes on my end too) I would have liked to receive up to date listing searches every day. The market moves so so fast and in order to get a good place you really have to snag it while its fresh. We sent back our top selections from a list sent to us a day or two prior and we didn't get to see our favorite ones because they were already gone when it came time for viewings. It would have been nice to have had the updated searches, or to have been sent some newer good options in lieu of the ones that we had missed out on. We ended up renting with another agency. Me and my partner stayed diligent about vetting new apartments as they popped up on our apps, and while it was hard to let down Amber and Dillon after they took the time to take us out for viewings, we are happy and very fortunate that we did because we were able to get an amazing apartment that was fresh 16 hours on the market over the weekend. Long story short - These are very good, knowledgeable, and professional people doing very good work, but in this case it didn't work out. My best piece of advice for succeeding in this market is that if you want to get a really good place you have to check your apps every day and then be able to meet the agent on a whim mere hours after it has been posted.

Exceptional Real Estate Partner - Phil Delivers Results…read more I've had the pleasure of working with Phil at Park Hou Group through Splice on multiple transactions over the years. Phil helped me purchase a single-family home in Cambridge, buy a townhouse condo in Somerville, and later sell the condo. Each experience exceeded my expectations. Going Above and Beyond from Day One For my Cambridge purchase, Phil's team secured an early showing before the open house, allowing me to submit a competitive offer ahead of the crowd. In Cambridge's cutthroat market, this strategic move made all the difference--I'm confident I wouldn't have gotten the house otherwise. Phil provided an incredibly detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) that gave me the confidence to make a strong but justified offer. Expert Advice That Pays Dividends One of Phil's best recommendations was converting my 2-bed, 1.5-bath home into a 3-bed, 2-bath. This renovation created a versatile home office and guest room, and when I relocated, significantly increased the property's rental value. It's rare to find a realtor who thinks so strategically about long-term value. Unmatched Expertise and Resources Phil's personal experience with rental properties and renovations sets him apart. As a first-time renovator, I had countless questions, and Phil never hesitated to share his knowledge--even well after closing. I later learned he develops properties himself and manages investment properties for other clients, which explains his deep understanding of what to buy, what to avoid, and how to maximize ROI on improvements. A Full-Service Team with Vetted Professionals Phil has built an impressive network of trusted vendors--inspectors, architects, contractors, loan officers, attorneys, photographers, stagers, and more. When he makes a recommendation, I don't waste time researching alternatives because I know they're competent and fairly priced. This network is invaluable and saves tremendous time and stress. Proactive Marketing That Gets Results When selling my condo, Phil convinced me to stage the property (excellent advice) and staffed the open house with multiple team members to ensure every visitor felt attended to. What impressed me most was his follow-through--he personally called every prospective buyer multiple times for feedback and to maintain engagement. Phil doesn't just list properties; he actively sells them. Always Available, Always Professional Throughout every transaction, Phil was accessible via text and phone, answering questions and easing anxieties. His communication style is both professional and reassuring during what can be a stressful process. I've recommended Phil to all my friends because I genuinely believe you won't find a better realtor in the Boston area. His combination of market knowledge, strategic thinking, and exceptional service makes him an invaluable partner in any real estate transaction.

Splice Realty is and has been amazing…read more They were the reality group that help my partner and I brought our first home. On every step of the way, they walk and talk us though it. As first time home buyer, there were many things that we didn't know or weren't aware of. Splice educated us on so many different things such as flood zones, tax, and other fees. They made as feel comfortable with every decision and empower every decision with facts. They honesty and fact checking was something we needed. Buying a house is difficult but factors such as the pandemic and inflation doesn't make anything easier. So we highly recommend this group. They really do have your back, have your best interest, make time for any questions you have, and never rush the sale. Thank you, Splice!
