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.

I called the general Benoit number after receiving an unsolicited text message from a realtor…read morelooking to show my apartment. We had requested that our personal information not be shared with real estate agents and for our property manager to handle communications regarding rental for 9/1 as we are not renewing, but still received a text to both my husband and my cell phone asking to show the unit, with less that 48 hours noticed (required by the city of Somerville). We never consented to playing rental agent on behalf of our property management company and never consented to provide our personal information to offices around town. I called Benoit after receiving the text message asking for our phone numbers to be removed from their records. The person who answered the phone who claimed to the the owner was rude and berated me on the phone, yelling that I did not understand how the rental business worked, after requesting that our personal information be deleted. When I pushed back and asked again, he continued to bark into the phone. Completely unprofessional, unhelpful, and wildly disrespectful of a tenant of 6 years in their current apartment. Would not at all recommend doing business with this organization, they clearly care only about money and don't have any semblance of professionalism, respect, or human decency.

In their…read morecontract paperwork it says that they get to keep the broker's fee upon submission of your renting application, regardless of what happens thereafter. That means that even if the landlord refuses your renting application you're still out the equivalent of a month's rent. These guys also made a whole lot of promises that they couldn't keep. They promised that my application would be accepted and that I would get the apartment, but they were dead wrong on both counts. If you choose to work with these guys make sure to fact check everything they say, because they're lying through their teeth most of the time.

She thinks of everything, helped us figure out a plan that worked for our family for some small improvements and the timing of the market, and got our home sold efficiently and for an amazing price. Post from 2020: Noune' is the perfect realtor. We were first time homebuyers, nervous about the process and navigating the system during the COVID pandemic. Noune' took the time to sit with us from the outset, teach us what we needed to be prepared for, and set us up with the resources to start to learn what sort of decisions we could make. From the very moment we sat together, we knew we could trust her to guide us to the best possible purchase for us, not any other motivation. She is kind, caring, positive, and fun. Beyond being a great person to be around, she is the most competent person that I could imagine. We never once had to remind or nudge to get information or things done; we always knew she was the one person we truly could rely on. She also handled things without us having to ask (like finding an open construction permit on the home we were buying), and was an awesome coordinator for the very many people involved in getting our home sale complete. She checked in on us in kind and supportive ways throughout the process; it was clear to us that she cared about us and our success, not just making a sale. I would give her more stars if we could. Please, do yourself a favor, and work with Noune'.

She helped us find an amazing rental in Canton, and a couple years later our dream home in Sharon. Elizabeth listened to and understood our unique needs and preferences, sharing specific properties she thought we would like (and she was always right!). She was extremely patient and responsive as we took our time to find the right home for us, seeing so many places with us and never pushy or rushing us. She always acted in our best interest and is someone who not only knows the real value of a home, but can suss out the ins and outs of any property to an incredibly impressive level. She has incredible advice and also has amazing recommendations and connections to people who have made the whole home buying and moving process easier - from movers to contractors. Elizabeth made what can typically be an overwhelming and stressful process, very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will be in your corner.

Before working with Elizabeth, we had been trying to buy a house for over 2 years with no success…read more We now own our first house after working with Elizabeth for just 3 months. She made the home buying process smooth and took a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. She's great at negotiating, which is extremely helpful for first time buyers. She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with her.

We worked with Morgan to rent out a 3BR/1.5BA in a 2 family in Watertown. We have had rentals in…read morethe Back Bay and the South End but had little experience with a house/2 family and the Watertown area. It made a big difference that Morgan lives and works in Watertown -- she has the insider's advantage. Our tenant had served us a notice to quit on 2/28/2020 and we had March to find a replacement tenant just as Covid 19 was hitting the USA. Our tenant would cancel showings a few hours beforehand. Morgan was great at trying to come up with safe ways to promote and show the unit even before guidelines were out. Morgan found us a possible tenant but our current tenant did not move out as scheduled. The tenant kept delaying the turnover and on April 2 announced that she was staying because of Covid. There is an eviction moratorium and no certainty when the Covid crisis will end. We had to look for replacement tenants without knowing with certainty when we would reacquire possession and be able to deliver the property. Morgan helped manage a very tricky and volatile situation with the holdover tenant and did so with professionalism and courtesy. Meanwhile, Morgan continued to promote the unit and review applications. She would present us with all options but would give careful recommendations or suggestions re: the applications. There were a range of potential tenants - some with low credit scores, some with precarious work situations but receiving unemployment during Covid, some with pets and requests for work on the unit. Morgan helped us review the different applications with a quick turnaround. She also kept working until we found a strong tenant that we would be happy - someone responsible with good financials and personal references. We would be happy to work with Morgan again in the future and highly recommend her for her expertise, her professionalism, and her unflappable good humor.

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!

I have been very impressed with Kyle Cabral and his team in their high competencies in managing my…read morerental property. As someone who used to manage my property (from long distance), I knew the pain and efforts involved in dealing with tenants...and honestly..after a few years, I wanted nothing to do with managing a rental from far, far away. I remembered calling and leaving a voicemail message with Southpaw about my desire to find a property management company to help me rent out and manage my unit...and..to my surprise, I got a call the same day back..and all within several hours when I totally wasn't expecting it! Within a few days...I worked with Kyle to sign my rental agreement, provide him information and access to my rental unit...and the unit was already rented out...all within 24 hours of signing my agreement to have Kyle manage my property! Wow..I was impressed! What impressed me more was Kyle's ability to manage rental properties. He took great care of tenants and property owners alike. He's fair..and not just siding with either side. He is not hesitant to tell me as an owner what I needed to do to make sure my tenants are happy (and he's happy to do the same to keep me happy dealing withe thing from repair to HOA as well). I am also very happy to see that...with Southpaw...the need to manage my rental property or handhold anything..is pretty much nil! Kyle took care of everything! And..I just saw..that I recently gave a consent to continue renting out my unit/extend rental offers to my current tenants..and he already had them signed extending for another year of rental at my unit ahead of expiration of an existing lease! That's a testament to Kyle and Southpaw's competencies and proactive approach to management! I love it that..for once..I can really sit back and trust that Southpaw can handle my rental on my behalf! For a long while, I worry about having to sell my unit if the property couldn't be rented out..but with Southpaw...I didn't have to worry about sale of my property anymore..because true passive rental income from this property is now a reality for me!
