A year and a half later David was charged with selling the Dorchester condo. I had already relocated and once again David handled everything in a timely manner.

He earned his commission...and my gratitude. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

We were referred to John Popp by our Mortgage Broker. From the first meeting, John was very honest…read moreand straight forward, and never misled us. John went out of his way to clear his schedule to find convenient times in our schedule for showings. John actually left a dinner party his wife was hosting to show us the house we wound up purchasing. Additionally, one of the largest advantages to working with John was his previous experience building houses. There were numerous times that we walked into a house and John immediately was able to pick out certain issues that we would have never noticed. I highly recommend John Popp as both a buyer and seller's agent - especially for first time home buyers. Having John on our side was the best decision we made.

I loved the apartment from the basement to the balconies it was great. What I didn't appreciate was the experience with Edge. First incident: My roommate and I lived there for 2 years and we didn't have window screens so mosquitos and flies were flying into the apartment by the masses. We sent a request to have them added in the Summer. It never happened. My roommate and I logged into the portal we use with them and saw our request was canceled. We never requested that. Yet somehow months later in the WINTER, maintenance, who came to replace a door for us that had a hole in it, came to check the windows as well for screens... We said that would have to wait for the warm weather again because we had to insulate the windows which was recommended since the apartment had drafts from everywhere and had poor insulation. Yet they never came back. And according to "Section 410.551 - Screens for Windows The owner shall provide screens for all windows designed to be opened on the first four floors opening directly to the outside from any dwelling unit or room unit provided, that in an owner-occupied unit, the owner need provide screens for only those windows used for ventilation." We have been like that for two years... Second incident: I reached out through their portal and called their emergency number when a faulty smoke alarm was triggering all the alarms in my apartment. It was a wired alarm and didn't know what to do. When reaching out to the two emergency options (a phone number to call or a message in the portal to submit), no one replied until the next day. The faulty alarm kept going on for hours into the night and I didn't want to break it and be liable for something that isn't mine. My question is why have an emergency contact number and portal if they don't work? And judging from the other comment on this page it seems someone had a similar issue of no response. Last incident: When we were about to move from that place we had some realtors notifying us via text that they would be taking pictures of the apartment. The thing is they texted my roommate and another number that wasn't mine. I never got that notification and my roommate was traveling at the time. So while using the restroom, two women were walking around the apartment and knocked on my BATHROOM door. I was both shocked and embarrassed. After discussing it they realized the mistake and apologized although I must admit they didn't seem to care about it all that much. I was upset but mistakes happen so I brushed it off. But in the upcoming weeks my roommate texted me two more times on different days telling me that they had texted the wrong number again to show off the apartment. Do they not have the information correct in their system or are they that careless with it? She had to text them back stating they were texting the wrong number. When they finally got it right, I was exchanging messages with one realtor who asked if they could come in at 1130 AM one day. I agreed on the time, yet they walked into the apartment at 1105. I was upset because I was working from home and had important information out. So I brought up the time and she stated that she was correct. But after checking her texts she saw she made the mistake. I am giving it two stars just because the portal feature was great, but I've moved around Boston and this was my least favorite experience on management. Part of me feels it was because the apartment was located in an area filled with college students and brushed it off as just other kids coming and going. But hopefully, this may provide some insight into the areas that need work.

Exceptional Real Estate Partner - Phil Delivers Results…read more I've had the pleasure of working with Phil at Park Hou Group through Splice on multiple transactions over the years. Phil helped me purchase a single-family home in Cambridge, buy a townhouse condo in Somerville, and later sell the condo. Each experience exceeded my expectations. Going Above and Beyond from Day One For my Cambridge purchase, Phil's team secured an early showing before the open house, allowing me to submit a competitive offer ahead of the crowd. In Cambridge's cutthroat market, this strategic move made all the difference--I'm confident I wouldn't have gotten the house otherwise. Phil provided an incredibly detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) that gave me the confidence to make a strong but justified offer. Expert Advice That Pays Dividends One of Phil's best recommendations was converting my 2-bed, 1.5-bath home into a 3-bed, 2-bath. This renovation created a versatile home office and guest room, and when I relocated, significantly increased the property's rental value. It's rare to find a realtor who thinks so strategically about long-term value. Unmatched Expertise and Resources Phil's personal experience with rental properties and renovations sets him apart. As a first-time renovator, I had countless questions, and Phil never hesitated to share his knowledge--even well after closing. I later learned he develops properties himself and manages investment properties for other clients, which explains his deep understanding of what to buy, what to avoid, and how to maximize ROI on improvements. A Full-Service Team with Vetted Professionals Phil has built an impressive network of trusted vendors--inspectors, architects, contractors, loan officers, attorneys, photographers, stagers, and more. When he makes a recommendation, I don't waste time researching alternatives because I know they're competent and fairly priced. This network is invaluable and saves tremendous time and stress. Proactive Marketing That Gets Results When selling my condo, Phil convinced me to stage the property (excellent advice) and staffed the open house with multiple team members to ensure every visitor felt attended to. What impressed me most was his follow-through--he personally called every prospective buyer multiple times for feedback and to maintain engagement. Phil doesn't just list properties; he actively sells them. Always Available, Always Professional Throughout every transaction, Phil was accessible via text and phone, answering questions and easing anxieties. His communication style is both professional and reassuring during what can be a stressful process. I've recommended Phil to all my friends because I genuinely believe you won't find a better realtor in the Boston area. His combination of market knowledge, strategic thinking, and exceptional service makes him an invaluable partner in any real estate transaction.

Splice Realty is and has been amazing…read more They were the reality group that help my partner and I brought our first home. On every step of the way, they walk and talk us though it. As first time home buyer, there were many things that we didn't know or weren't aware of. Splice educated us on so many different things such as flood zones, tax, and other fees. They made as feel comfortable with every decision and empower every decision with facts. They honesty and fact checking was something we needed. Buying a house is difficult but factors such as the pandemic and inflation doesn't make anything easier. So we highly recommend this group. They really do have your back, have your best interest, make time for any questions you have, and never rush the sale. Thank you, Splice!

We got an offer accepted in April and closed in June. Rob was a very responsive and punctual agent. Scheduling open houses and private showings with Rob was very smooth, sometimes we went to a few properties in one day. Rob's feedback to properties were very honest and as first time home buyer's we would have missed those aspect if he had not mentioned it. There was a property with a major tilt and Rob pointed it out...it was making us dizzy. It was great having Rob to help answer our questions about the roof, the heater, water boiler, septic tank age and so much more. He would also provide comps of similar properties that sold recently in the area. Overall, we had a great experience with Robbie and would highly recommend him.

Our awesome real estate attorney Ellie Vining referred us to realtor Norman O'Grady at Prime Realty…read morewhen it came time for us to start looking for a condo. Norman was really wonderful to work with! He moves fast- you've gotta keep up! I mean that literally. The man is always buzzing about. He knows just what to look for when you're seeing a home. While you're there deciding if there's enough closet space, Norman's the one asking about the electrical wattage and pointing out little things you may have overlooked. He's great at what I called "kicking the tires." It's your decision, but he's there to help you and look out for you. Norman was there every step of the way and I always felt well-informed. He even made me feel ok about withdrawing an offer when it wasn't exactly the right move for us. I felt like I could call him anytime- he was always there to answer my questions and if not then, just a few minutes later. Yet at the same time, I never felt like I was not the focus of his attention when we were meeting. If you've never looked for a condo before, just know that you're looking at the same listings all the agents get, so it's on you to point out the ones you want to see and the agent will set it up for you. They're not going to comb through the listings for you and suggest what you should see. Norman was our buyer's agent- meaning that he was there to help us, the buyers, purchase a home (he gets paid through the bank, not you). He was there to walk us through the process, deal with the seller's agent and translate the homebuying language for us. He did all that- Norman is fantastic at his job. He's a straight shooter. You're in good hands if you choose Norman to help you buy your home! I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking!
