My partner and I have been working with Arborview Realty - Nate, Christian, and Meredith - for…read moreseveral years through the buying and selling of two JP homes now, and I couldn't imagine a better team of people to help guide us through the process. After our most recent purchase of a single family home that Nate skillfully helped us navigate, he then helped us sell our condo. When I say he worked some serious magic, I mean it. Nate was able to help us get our place ready to sell in a three week timeframe, host a weekend of open houses while we were on vacation in FL, and then coordinate the offer that came through three days later. Nate's knowledge, attention to detail, honesty, and wonderful communication style make him a joy to work with. He always handles (what I consider) a very stressful and fast moving process with ease, professionalism, care, and always steered us with our best interest in mind. Working with Nate was a pleasure, and I know that if/when I ever need to move again I'll be reaching out to Nate!

Arborway Realty was fantastic to work with; we found them to be honest and straight forward about…read moreevery aspect of the experience. Their ability to pull together a team (Manager, Painters, Cleaner, Mason, Inspector) got our JP Condo on the market as fast as possible in the Spring of 22; truly incredible efficiency in building prep. Christian's market knowledge was very helpful in evaluating the offers and closing in a rapidly changing market. We chose to work with Nate for the subsequnt purchase of a 2-Family in Roslindale and the experience was equally positive. Nate invested significant time and effort helping us eventually find and then evaluate opportunity in the house we chose. Because the house was a fixer upper with significant work to be done, Christian, a licensed builder, provided incredibly helpful insight into the cost and the nature of the work necessary to bring the house up to date. Since closing, both he and Nate, continue to be very helpful as the renovations get under way. I provide a very high level of service to my clients and I expect that from other professionals. I was not disappointed. If you are ready to brave the Boston RE Market, you won't find a better team to back you.

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.

We had so many moments when we could've put in an offer, or we could've settled for less, but Melanie did not allow that to happen. With her expertise and her ability to just fully understand what we truly wanted, she was able to give us advice that was thoughtful and she would not let us settle for less than what we wanted! Even when we had questions or any concerns, Melanie was super responsive and made us feel like we were her only clients, even though we know this is far from true. She really helped guide us through the whole home buying process and made sure we felt 100% comfortable before moving forward in the process. She helped us get our offer accepted on a home where she could tell that we could really picture ourselves, and 4 months in, my husband and I couldn't be happier living in our new home!

I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a realtor in the Boston area! I was…read moreexpecting the home buying process to be complicated and stressful, but Melanie was there through all of it, and I closed on my first home this week. She's responsive to questions, knowledgeable (and happy to share that knowledge), and reliable. Beyond that, she was easy to talk to, kind, and fun to be around. It can be difficult to place your trust in someone with a big milestone like purchasing a home. Melanie is definitely someone you can trust to make the process easier and more transparent.

What seems like warm on fuzzy on the outside quickly turns to a cold shoulder and letdown after…read moreletdown. Bode Well was the realtor for the apartment we chose to rent, and they let us down in just about every aspect you expect a realtor to perform... Pre-signing our lease: They told us that the current tenants would be moving out at a certain date. They told us that the apartment's deck was being finished, but that it would be completed by the time we moved in. They told us that the apartment came with the 3 AC window units that were currently in the apartment. We trusted them, and didn't think twice about having all of those aspects in the lease. Post-signing our lease: $2,400 realtor fee later, Bode Well begins the letdowns. Bode Well informs us a few weeks before we were about to move in that the tenants would no longer be moving out the week Bode Well said they were. The tenants would now be staying two weeks later than originally planned, and there was nothing we could do about it. Put us in a pickle because we weren't available for the new move in date. Strike 1 Next, we noticed about a week before our lease began that the deck wasn't close to being finished. We asked Bode Well about this and they said that it was the contractors fault for not having the right building permit... There was nothing they could do about it and it wasn't their fault. Strike 2 Not happy with our experience so far, we just wanted to get into our new apartment. Turns out that when we finally moved in, there were NO AC units to be found. We moved in the summer, and it was extremely uncomfortable - hot and humid. We called them for days, stopped by their office, and after hours of denying any responsibility they delivered one AC unit. We asked when we would receive the two other units and they told us that they would not be giving us the 3rd unit, but that a 2nd unit would be delivered sometime within the next few weeks. We were unhappy with that solution, but Bode Well told us that it was the "best they could do". Now, into the 2nd month of our lease, they have yet to bring either of the 2 AC units, our deck is still not finished, and Bode Well won't return any of our calls/texts. Letdown after letdown. Strike 3 Before you work with a realtor, ask yourself if you want to risk going through this with Bode Well. For a hefty realtor fee, all we asked was that we were given what we signed up for and what we were told we would receive. Not too much to ask for... They're just not worth the struggle.

Jerry really is taking steps to make this building a better place to live. I finally feel like the building is in the hands of someone who cares about the living conditions of the tenants. We LOVE JERRY!!

By the end of the entire process, we can say we've learned so much on home-buying and home maintenance in general.

Paul was there every step of the way, giving us advice and fighting on our behalf to get what we wanted.

Deborah also chased the attorneys and took care of the fire inspection as well as the final gas and water readings.
