I used them to buy my home a year ago and he was a total dirtbag sleezeball. He lied on the listing and I went to the real estate board to file a official complaint and they knew him well and had other multiple complaints on this firm and on Jackie Rooney( the owner) himself! sketch, BEWARE read more

South Boston landlords -- don't use Jackie Rooney to find tenants for your rental apartments. He won't show any of the apartments he is trying for find tenants for to renters who are working with other real estate agents. I'm sure it's so he can keep all of the commission for himself. As a result, the landlords who hire him really suffer. Their apartments sit empty and great tenants rent other apartments -- all because Jackie won't play nice with other Boston real estate agents. read more

Do not engage in real estate deals with Jackie Rooney. He accepted my offer in a small condo in Southie with an FHA pre-approval letter. After I paid close to 500 dollars for the inspection he then backed out because: "it was too much work for an FHA approval and we're not doing it". This was after offer was fully executed! His behavior really sadneed me and I lost a little apartment that I really loved. Stay away from this agency. read more

Jackie is smart, shrewd, and knows the business and market, especially South Boston. He is the go-to in that market. He handles issues well, and drives a sale to completion. read more

The worst experience of my whole life thus far doesnt even come close to being as bad as the experience I had here! The world of rental realty is forever ruined because of this place. I would reccomend living in a refrigerator box on the corner of K and E Broadway before I would tell you to come here. We had an apartment and then we lost the apartment and then we got our deposit money back but they wouldnt refund the overpriced credit check fee and then they didnt call for weeks and weeks and even when I went in in person and called and emailed I was ignored. AWFUL .. this place is AWFUL read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Emma, who is an agent with Rooney Real Estate, on a recent transaction as a buyer's attorney. Emma possesses strong negotiation skills, thorough attention to detail, and excellent problem solving skills, which she combines with her kind, compassionate, and down-to-earth nature. Her dedication and commitment to serving her clients best interests are evident. Emma should be your go-to person for all your real estate needs! read more

Loved our experience with Emma! She was thorough, accommodating and proactive. Would highly recommend working with her!

Very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. They know the South Boson real estate market better than anyone!

there are so many real estate companies in South Boston, and this one is at the bottom of the barrel. The staff turnover is ridiculous, which signals to me that it is not a good company to work for, which is never a good sign. I rented an apartment through them last year, I ended up having two rental agents with them because one was getting married, so someone else took over, and they were both wonderful (but unfortunately, they are now both gone). I then came back later when we decided to buy a place, and it took 5 phone calls to finally speak to someone, and then i realized why - there was NO STAFF besides the owner and a receptionist!! the receptionist was very kind and apologized profusely that noone could help me, and she delicately explained that they were understaffed and she didn't have her license so she couldn't help me. she seemed mortified to be working there, and i don't blame her (i later found out that she is no longer working there too...shocker!!) I left multiple messages with the owner, tried to track him down through their open houses (apparently he hires non agents to do open houses, and he doesn't do them himself). I even met some people who listed their houses with him, and they told me good luck in trying to get him on the phone. I ended up working with GKR realty and they were WONDERFUL. (the funny thing is, the owner of GKR is the brother of the owner of Rooney - talk about night and day). So in short, if you need a real estate agent, and you are overwhelmed by your choices in Southie, don't even bother considering Rooney Real Estate. Complete waste of time. read more

I was debating selling my home in the fall. Jackie was able to provide the proper expertise to advise me to sell and to price it properly. My house sold only 4 days on the market, considering I put it up for sale in January, a typically slow time for real estate. He got me above asking price for my unit and was incredibly flexible and helpful during the close process. I would highly recommend Jackie. read more

LESS THAN 1 STAR I would rate this company. As stated in all these other reviews, Rooney Real estate is UNPROFESSIONAL, UNRELIABLE and UNTRUSTWORTHY. I have learned many things about the home buying process seeing as though I just bought my first Condo in Boston. Please RESEARCH your real estate company or find reviews from your realitor. I had the WORST experience with this company and the realitors/buyers agents which led me to walk away from my condo that i was so emotionally invested in. 2 days after I was supposed to close on my condo (stated in the P+S) I was going to check up on the deck being constructed and only to find out that my DECK SIZE WAS CUT IN HALF and my CITY VIEWS WERE BLOCKED BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF 10'10' stairway. The city view from this condo was the main reason why i fell in love with this condo and The condo was faulsely advertised by the agents them stating it was a 10'20' deck with unobstructed views. My real estate agent at that time Nancy Locke had me bid right in front of Jackie Rooney Sellers realitor (I was never pulled aside to be informed of this. I did not know who he was at the time.) So in the beginning revealed information that was not appropriate for the sellers realitor to hear. I had to cancel my home inspection more than 2 times due to my real estate agent, Nancy Locke, telling me to book it before the deck being completed. The 3rd time scheduling my home inspection after having my real estate agent know that i DID NOT WANT TO SCHEDULE until she knew the deck was completed- we had arrived to the home inspection and my deck had not even been started. Rooney real estate office was only 2 blocks away from this condo mind you. After I placed a bid on the condo, I did not even feel as though my real estate agents had my best interest or support rather they made me feel that I should just agree with the sellers opinion or offers. Thefore, I ended up communicating Soley through my attourney in the end of this process because i did not feel as though the realitors had my best interest. Sadly, I ended up WALKING AWAY from this property because the Sellers did not want to compensate the misrepresentation of the condo by the buyers realitors. STAY AWAY FROM ROONEY REAL ESTATE!!!! read more

Stay away from using Rooney Real Estate (whether buying or selling!). Jackie Rooney is as UNprofessional as they get. My fiance and I looked at a property that we fell in love with, where Rooney Real Estate was selling agent. They had one of their buying agents (although most people would assume they are the selling agent showing the property...) at the open house to solicit us using them as our buying agent. When they found out we had our own, they would not return phone calls or e-mails. I was finally able to get in touch with Jackie and was told that he was "not happy with how things have gone down", because we had our own buying agent and were not using his (which I saw as a HUGE conflict of interest for both the buying and selling agent to be working for the same company). I was told "We don't want to work with you on a deal"........which I plan on relaying over to the developer and group that is trying to sell this unit. Jackie Rooney will not work with buyers that are using their own agent because that means his company would need to split the commission. I thought when I first read the awful reviews for Rooney Real Estate that maybe they were exaggerating, but now know after having a conversation with Jackie, they are 100% spot on!!! He is UNPROFESSIONAL and completely UNTRUSTWORTHY. With such an important and life altering decision to buy a home, DO NOT USE Rooney Real Estate. I would rather deal with the epitome of a sleezeball used car salesman than this dirtbag. read more

By far the worst real estate company I have ever had in terms of rental properties. Service requests are ignored completely, phone calls and voicemails are left unanswered, maintenance that is good for him is done at inappropriate times (hammering, etc. at 7am on weekdays and 8am on weekends.) Its unreal. If you're thinking about getting yourself involved with these people, don't. read more

Jackie Rooney is a snake. If you're forced to work with him, fact check everything that comes from his slimey mouth. He blatantly lied about multiple things throughout our home purchase process. read more

I used Rooney Real Estate to find my apartment. My experience was great. My agent was Cristina and she was very helpful and was available anytime to show me places. I would definitely recommend using Rooney Real Estate and ask for Cristiana. read more

Having read the reviews, I was a little concerned prior to selling our place. We met him, as well a several other seller's agents. We chose Rooney Real Estate, primarily because he knew the South Boston market incredibly well. It seemed like he had been inside every property on the market and knew the strengths and weaknesses. He presented a plan of listing slightly higher that we had though, with the understanding that we would reduce the price if we did not receive any offers. His plan worked and we sold the property after just one open house, with Jackie driving across town late in the evening to obtain all the necessary signatures. He was then present for the inspections and closing. He was very responsive to phone call and emails. I would never hesitate to use Jackie or his company as a buyers or sellers agent. read more

I sold a house with a gutted third floor and major structural issues. The house needed a full gut and rehabilitation. Jackie understood the problems and knew immediately what had to be done to sell the house. He told me I needed a structural report and helped me obtain one within a few days from an engineer he knew at a reasonable price. The report was instrumental in expediting the sale of the house because it presented all of the structural work needed to potential buyers up front, which turned out to be a brilliant move. He was present at the open house, unlike some other realtors, and was able to negotiate a non-contingency offer from a cash buyer the same day, which eliminated the stress of inspections, etc. He took the time to clearly explain the process even when I wasn't the being the most pleasant. He's a great realtor and a good guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone selling and/or buying a house. read more
