He advocated for me strongly given any concerns I shared and was an excellent and prompt communicator the entire time. I will 100% contact him again next time I have moving needs, and I will suggest him to my friends and colleagues if they are looking to move to the Boston area. Could not ask for a better experience- thanks David!

Simply put, David is one of a kind. I was a co-signer for a family from Ecuador, here in Boston…read moreseeking life-saving medical treatment for their child. In that capacity, I got to see firsthand (for months) the degree of bias and gatekeeping that can go on in the rental market well before there's even an application (90% of brokers just stopped talking to us the minute they learned the tenants were from Ecuador). David was the absolute exception. He did the opposite of gate keeping. He worked hard to open doors and make things possible in a nearly impossible market for affordable housing. His transparency and dedication were outstanding. The family got an ideal situation for them and are over the moon. It will make a life changing difference to them. We couldn't have done it without David's work and advocacy.

I wanted to facetime walkthru three houses, and the 1st response was, you can't see site lines with facetime. I then asked if taking over a backloaded solar contract was standard in Mass and was told when you're in Mass a few weeks from now we can go look at houses. What? That is a competitive market, one of those houses can be gone in days. You work on commission, and if you have enough business where you don't want mine, be a professional and decline the business. Zero feedback on the other two houses I asked about, and one is in a town where expedience is crucial.

Both Tom & Joanne were a pleasure to work with. My husband and I were first time home buyers and we…read moreconsider ourselves lucky to have had this team in our corner. We worked mostly with Tom, who is experienced, knowledgeable, motivated, considerate, and confident. All great traits to see in your realtor. He listened to us, answered all of our questions, and made himself available for any all private showings we wanted. He would get in the corners of the house with his phone flashlight, point out things that concerned him or that were fully depreciated, educated us on things he knew we were naive about, and never pushed us to make a decision. In fact, on a few occasions he told us to be patient - to wait for the Fall market knowing we would find the perfect house in our price range. He negotiated for us, got us closing credits we didn't even know we deserved. When we settled on a closing date, we were concerned to find out Tom would be out of town on vacation. As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about. Joanne was happy to jump in and help us. These two work as 1 unit, and it was all very seamless. This is a huge asset to their clients. When the time comes again to buy/sell, we will not hesitate to call Tom & Joanne.

I would thoroughly recommend Nick to people looking for help buying or selling property in the…read moregreater Boston area. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in all areas of the business and an extremely enjoyable person to work with! We were inexperienced, first time buyers. Before going to view any houses, Nick took the time to get to know us and get to know the sort of house we wanted to buy. Within a week, he was driving us to potential houses that we personally selected. When we saw these houses, none of them seemed to tick all the boxes for us. Not to be deterred, Nick suggested we view one that we had completely missed/disregarded in our initial screens. It seemed Nick knew us better than we did, as we fell in love with it straight away! I think what is really great about his service is he got to know us, and he understood what our interests were. He was very non-judgmental of our (often) picky needs but was unafraid to offer some advice from his own vast experience. That enabled him to suggest this wonderful house. We both absolutely fell in love with the place. Everything from the house itself to the garden and location were just perfect for our needs and our son adores it! In addition to finding us the house of our dreams, Nick was ever-present during all stages of the house buying process. Most importantly, he held our hand during the offer/negotiation. Being total newbies, we had no idea what sort of price to initiate with and how to properly access value/potential of a property. Therefore, it was so helpful having Nick to act on our behalf and he managed to secure a deal well under the initial asking price. If that wasn't enough, he advised us on building inspectors, mortgage advisors, attorneys, and even painters and contractors for when we signed for the house! In addition to his outstanding expertise, we had an awful lot of fun working with him! He's a great guy! Once again, we are so grateful to Nick and his superb real estate service. If it were possible to give more than 5 stars, I would do it for Nick!

My wife and I closed on the sale of our first condo in June (see my review on the Lembu Real Estate…read moreyelp page) and to our surprise and amazement closed on our first single family home only two months later in August. It's been a crazy summer with moving twice in such a short amount of time but it couldn't have been a better experience and we are so glad that we had Nick Mescia as our agent. Nick was kind, respectful, and attentive. We never felt like we were competing for his time and in fact we were so grateful for how often he checked in with us! He was excellent at communicating with us and always responsive and patient with all our questions and requests. Ultimately whether as a buyer or seller you want an agent who has your best interests in mind and that was 100% clear working with Nick from start to finish. Excellent professional and more importantly a kind person of high character. We recommend Nick to anyone looking for a realtor especially in the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville/Medford area. We will definitely be sending our friends who are looking to buy/sell his way!

Ben helped us purchase our first home in late 2016. As first time home buyers, my wife and I were…read moreunfamiliar with the process. Ben was with us every step of the way to help guide us through the sometimes arduous and frustrating process, helping us to ask the right questions and raising important considerations that we may not have otherwise done on our own. It's clear that Ben does not view his clients as commissions, but rather as long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. Further to this point, Ben helped rent my family member's luxury condo in the city. Not only was he able to quickly find a tenant with favorable rental conditions, but he has continued to manage the rental as any maintenance or other renter requests have arisen. I don't know many agents that continue to provide a service after they've received their commission. Ben is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to his clients because he knows this will be recognized and will lead to return business - and you can sure bet he's earned my entire family's future business.

I purchased house with him and four years later, I ended up selling the same house through him! Although it is a seller's market, things can really go south with many unexpected hurdles, whether it is dealing with a demanding buyer or dealing with things after inspection. Through ups and downs, Greg stood by us like a solid rock and helped us navigate through obstacles. Good realtor can really make a difference in real-estate transactions. I have a lot of experience dealing with different realtors in different states. With confidence, I will refer him to anyone who is looking for a realtor in New England area. Another great transaction Greg! Thank you!!

Greg is open, honest, and excited to help. He is a breath of fresh-air in an industry that feels just a shady as car sales. Work with Greg and you won't regret it.

Stop making fruitless calls to brokers who blow you off, don't call you back, don't listen to your needs, or don't show up for scheduled showings. Call John. This guy knows how to treat people right. I moved in a VERY short period of time from Texas to Boston (two weeks, to be exact), so I did not have time to do an extensive search or waste time on places that weren't viable. I also was unable to preview some of the properties because I was out of town. I cannot express in words how helpful it was to have someone who was responsive, honest, and so hardworking in my corner to help me nail down an apartment (that was pet-friendly at that). John is amazing and I will sing his praises to anyone who will listen. I can sleep easy tonight knowing that I have a place to call home, all thanks to John De Angelis!
