I've sold two properties with Rheault Realty. Tom Rheault gave excellent market guidance on how to…read moreprice, when to sell, and what to fix up so that the properties would sell at a fair price without lingering. Both properties had multiple offers within one week of listing, and sold well above the asking price. Ben Doane handled the details including advising about the various offers, sale doc preparation, and helping with the various permits and final bills that needed to be gathered for the closing. I am very pleased with the services that this agency provided.

Mike was an amazing agent to work with and successfully sold my investment property last week!!…read moreMike was there every step of the way to get the job done. He was very responsive and took the time to answer all my questions and ensure I was comfortable with every decision. He also has a bunch of connections to refer me to when I needed it and everything was smooth. I will be referring Mike to any of my friends that are looking to buy or sell their house. He is a great Real Estate Agent and I highly recommend him!

I think I'm in love (or just plain spoiled). Mike is a real estate guru. I truly cannot say enough…read moregood things about him. I have personally used him four (4) times in purchasing and selling houses. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market, what is out there, what the fair price is and will negotiate and be able to back his numbers us with facts. As a real estate attorney I represent people who are buying and selling homes where Mike is one of the brokers. This is where I know I'm spoiled. Deals do not fall through, he attends the home inspections, he negotiates again (if necessary), he ensures that all documents that are required are timely received (such as smoke detectors certificates, leases, etc). Mike is on the ball when it comes to deadlines and communicate well when extensions are needed. He makes my job a lot easier when he is involved.

Rich Rosa was fantastic. My wife and I were searching for a north-of-Boston home while living on…read morethe West Coast and Rich made the process SO much easier. 1) Great communicator with excellent attention to detail 2) Great at anticipating questions and getting you in touch with good professionals for different parts of process (home inspectors, RE lawyers etc) and helping you find a good one. 3) Great at raising questions that a home listing won't tell you (what is the home near/not near? busy street?) 4) He's not just firing his own ideas at you, he listens and works with what YOU want. 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.

He was very thorough when looking at houses with us and pointed out things to look out for that we would have otherwise missed. He worked diligently on our behalf from the time we hired him as our agent through closing.

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

tl;dr - Astonishingly unprofessional, incompetent, and erratic employees. For the sake of your time…read moreand sanity, do not deal with this company. I am sure there are good people at Werentcentralmass that are professional and competent, however, I did not encounter them. Admittedly, I should have read the countless poor reviews of this business and of Joe Ward before I dealt with them, so shame on me. Either way, this is my complete and honest review: I was shown an apartment by Joe Ward that had been gutted with the promise it would be ready for August 1st. It seemed like a great deal for $1295, so the next day I went into the office to put down a $700 deposit that would "take it off the market". Before I signed the application, though, I had a few questions about the strong legal language in the fine print at the bottom of the application. The language stated that if you were approved for the apartment, and decided you did not want it, they kept your deposit. It also stated that if the landlord decided he wanted to keep your deposit, werentcentralmass is entitled to AN ENTIRE'S MONTH RENT ON TOP OF THAT. This is pretty excessive. I have dealt with shady landlords before, so I just wanted to discuss this with someone before I signed, especially because I was putting a deposit down on an apartment that technically did not exist. The questions and concerns I had were reasonable, but the person, Rochelle, with whom I dealt was astonishingly unprofessional. She acted as if I was personally insulting her by questioning the legal language. She was dismissive, impatient, and rude. Before the door even closed behind her, I could hear her complaining. I also encountered her on the way out of the building and by the looks she gave her friend, you would have thought she was in high school, and not an adult representing a business. Again, ASTONISHINGLY unprofessional. This should have been all the red flags I needed for this company. However, Joe Ward breezed in after her and assured me everything was above board. I was uneasy, especially after the receptionist and he argued through the wall about the actual price of rent for the apartment. None of them wanted to "put anything in writing". Red flag number 2. I really liked the apartment though, so I put down the deposit. After this I was strung along with requests with more documentation, all of which I provided, and then, radio silence. I called, texted, and emailed Joe Ward day after day and heard nothing. I called werentcentralmass several times over a series of days and always got their voicemail AT A BUSINESS DURING BUSINESS HOURS. I was becoming very uneasy as the move in date loomed closer. THREE WEEKS after I put down the deposit, I then saw the apartment listed again for $100 more with the caption "This won't last!" Unreal. I finally cornered Joe on his office phone and he claimed "I didn't get your messages", "I have two Alannas in my phone" "Insert generic excuse" etc. Supposedly it had taken two days for them to decide I was not approved and three weeks for me to find out. If I had not hounded them, I probably would never have been told. Ironically, the keeping of the deposit is to ensure that YOU don't waste THEIR time and leave them scrambling to find a tenant. Excuse me now, while I scramble to find an apartment. Unbelievable way to run a business. 10/10 do not recommend.

This place is horrendous and sucks. Stay far, far away. My wife and I viewed a place that we really…read moreliked and wanted to rent. Sabrina took our application and deposit for the one bedroom unit and disappeared for the next two weeks. She only bothered to reach out to tell us that the unit we wanted was already "rented out" despite us putting a deposit down. I can't forget to mention that our deposit was cashed immediately. In Sabrina's defense, she tried to remedy the situation but all the new units she was showing us were utter crap so we requested the deposit back which she said we would definitely get back in full. Two weeks go by without a word until I had to hound her. When I finally got Sabrina on the phone she said oh crap I'll check on that and get back you. Of course she never does. We finally got a check in the mail a week and a half later but not even the for the full amount and now I can't get a hold of anyone. They're keeping my money at this point. I will be copying and pasting this review on all forms of social media. Stay far away from this ridiculously unprofessional place. Nothing but scam artists and crooks. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but I am going out of my way to write a review and warn people to not deal with this place. I feel bad for anyone who has had to deal with these guys already. Seriously, go read the other reviews and you'll know why they suck. Sincerely, a guy who was just robbed of a deposit
