I was meeting with Luciana at an apartment complex in Norwood. However, she was nowhere to be seen…read more Turns out she had the completely wrong address - she only had keys to another complex on the other side of town. She kept giving me attitude about being at the wrong place, but she was the one who screwed up. I went to the address in the listing. How am I in the wrong? Being a realtor is not hard. You get keys to an apartment and show the apartment to potential renters. There is not much to it. Somehow she screwed up even that. Don't bother with this agency.

My partner and I met Eric Raynor from Apartment Rental Experts after he replied immediately (within…read moreminutes!) to our inquiry about two apartments we saw on Craigslist. We had contacted numerous agents about various apartments, but we ended up working exclusively with Eric because he knew the market well and was eager to help us find the right apartment. Over the course of two days, he personally drove us to see five different apartments. He was very helpful and knew all the right questions to ask to understand what we were looking for. In fact, Eric understood us so well that he found us the perfect apartment in a neighborhood we hadn't even considered! When we asked to sign the lease later that day, Eric even stayed at work late so we could see the apartment one more time (just to be sure) and complete the lease signing. Based on our excellent experience (and the wonderful apartment that Eric found for us!), we would highly recommend Eric Raynor (Eric at apartmentx.com) to anyone looking for an apartment in the Cambridge area.

We saw a beautiful apartment with Kody and were excited to move forward. Unfortunately their…read moreprocess was extremely sketchy. They wanted us to pay the deposit and sign the lease before being approved as tenants by the owner of the property. They claimed if we were not approved, they would refund the deposit, but that was not outlined in the lease terms so there was no guarantee the funds would be returned. I am not going to risk $8,000 for the chance to be considered and nobody else should either. This entire process felt very strange and we ended up walking away and finding something better with a different company.

But I like looking at available apartments in the area, seeing what they are going for, etc. I love looking at pictures of empty, clean apartments. It's all fun and games, til it comes time for me to actually find a place of my own to settle on. With the end of my current lease fast approaching I began contacting various agents to set up showings of a few places. THERE ARE SO MANY IRRESPONSIBLE, STUPID realtors in the Boston area. (No offense, but it's true.) I wanted to work with someone who listens to what I'm looking for, is responsible and timely. ENTER: Stephen of JP Rentals into my life. Stephen embodies everything JP Rentals is about. He enjoys helping people. He's not just in this for the money. JP Rentals cares about matching the right tenants with the right apartments and landlords. He was upfront and honest about all the pros AND cons of each place we considered. He was flexible and tried to accommodate our busy schedules. He made the process smooth and painless. Another huge plus is that most of the employees LIVE in JP or nearby. It's a testament to how much they love the area. I'm so fortunate to have such wonderful new neighbors! I don't plan on moving again any time soon. But I would hang around the JP Rentals office for fun. Don't go anywhere else when you want to move to JP. THANK YOU JP RENTALS! You have restored my faith in realtors.

Sadly for them (good for renters) they weren't very smart about masking their changed name. It's obvious. Anyway, for anyone considering renting from Strictly Apartment Rentals, PLEASE see the reviews of Alpha Management first! And take them seriously. If you want rude management that intrudes into your apartment at night...if you want bedbugs or leaky ceilings and windows, if you want rats and mice...then rent from them. Otherwise, STAY FAR AWAY. Don't let them trick you.
