If you're looking to buy a condo in Boston, Scott is your man. I spent a good two years looking for a condo in the city w/ Scott. During those two years, he gave me the 101 on the market, finances, remodeling, and construction. After showings, he helped me read into the specious rants brokers gave. He saved me from making an impulsive mistake (ie buying an egregiously overpriced back bay micro-condo) and am eternally grateful for his frank advice. When I finally found the condo I wanted in a key location downtown, he used his connections to help me beat an all cash buyer on a gobsmacking place I thought was way out of my reach. What sets him apart from my friends who are brokers is that he has the necessary prowess and connections you need to compete in the fierce Boston market. He's vibrating w/ alacrity, knowledgeable, readily accessible (key especially w/ overseas sellers) and responds to messages pretty much instantaneously. Once we put an offer down, he was a machine on fire and was the impetus to winning our bid. There's only a few people who changed my life completely for the better, and Scott is definitely one of them. read more

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of working with Brian Unger when searching for our apartment in Boston. We're both young professionals transferring to Boston from New York, and we didn't have much time to look at apartments. Atlas as a company was extremely competent. Their automated emails and easy to use user interface made it very easy for us to filter through the places we liked, and the places we didn't like. Throughout the entire process, the personal touch that Brian added to our search was invaluable. He was incredibly professional, and extremely prompt in his responses to our questions throughout (though there were many). Between the two of us, we've moved into three separate apartments in New York and can honestly say that we've never had a better experience. I would highly recommend Atlas, and Brian in particular, to anyone looking for a place in Boston. read more

My wife and I highly (!!!!!!) recommend Scott Farrell and Atlas Properties if you are buying a condo in Boston. How often do you find a realtor that * is very knowledgeable, yet also receptive to feedback, * has extensive knowledge, yet continues to learn, * is highly responsive to emails / texts / phone calls, regardless of the day or time * is always diligently trying to identify ways to help you complete the purchase, * is helpful in many ways beyond the actual purchase, including, for example, recommending an architect for the roof deck we will install, and * has a good sense of humor, helping take stress out of what can be a challenging situation. Our first contact with Scott and Marc, the owner of Atlas, was last July. We completed purchase of a penthouse condo in Beacon Hill the end of January. Without Scott's diligence, it would never have happened. Although we have owned multiple houses, this was our first condo, our first property in the Boston area, and we were buying remotely from more than 1500 miles away. Only after the owner accepted our offer did we learn that he had multiple state and federal tax liens on the property, totaling a significant fraction of the purchase price. This dramatically increased the complexity of the purchase. In addition, unfortunately, the owner was initially reluctant to be fully open with his own realtor and real estate lawyer, much less us. This further added to the challenges Scott faced. He took the initiative to contact a tax lawyer that educated us on buying property with tax liens. He worked closely with the real estate lawyer that my wife and I selected, who also had experience with tax liens. It soon became very clear that Scott understood the tax lien related challenges of this condo purchase better than the owner's realtor, who was an experienced professional with one of the larger firms in the area. She actually called him for updates. Late in the process, we learned that the owner was actually personally negotiating a "short sale" with the IRS. This added to the complexity of what was already a complex deal. Scott remained diligent throughout the two delays in closing, maintaining his optimism and ensuring all key participants, including the owner's realtor, were constantly updated. We cannot thank Scott enough for helping us acquire a condo we really like. In the process my wife and I developed a new friend, who is continuing to help us with our new condo. If you want a realtor that can meet any challenges you may face, contact Scott Farrell. He will do whatever it takes to ensure you have a pleasant and rewarding experience. read more

I highly recommend Scott and Atlas Properties if you are looking to buy a home in the Boston area. Scott helped me buy my first condo. He is very knowledgeable about the Boston real estate market, professional, personable, reliable, and punctual. Scott took me to over 100 showings over the course of 8 months. He was committed to helping me find my perfect condo, even when I was getting discouraged at times due to the unpredictable nature of the real estate market I am now a proud owner of my own place, and I couldn't have done it without Scott. Thank you!!!! read more

Recently worked with Paul Ireland....Very cool guy....efficient....on time....& professional...at all times...

Paul Ireland was an absolute treat to work with. He was very thorough and only showed us places that met our specific criteria. He was very available to answer any and all questions, and he really fought for us when it came down to negotiations and application processes. If you're looking for great representation in Boston, look no further than Paul! read more

I had the pleasure of having Scott Farrell as my sales agent and adviser on a purchase. It was great working with him and it was not my first real estate deal but definitely the easiest, best experience I`ve ever had. His broad knowledge and go get em attitude is infectious. In fact I can`t wait to do another deal with Scott. I highly recommend Scot and Marco at Atlas properties! read more

We recently used Atlas Properties to find an apartment in the back bay. Of course when I say "used" I mean we were forced to pay Atlas Properties their entirely undeserved broker's fee simply because they happened to be the ones who spent ten minutes letting us into the apartment. By my reductive math they earn the equivalent of $15k/hour in situations like that. The entire rental broker system in big cities is unacceptable, but that is another rant. The individuals from Atlas Properties knew nothing about the property, they "never got" countless emails from us asking about move-in logistics, they were unable to correctly interpret the emails that they admitted to receiving, and they are either physically or psychologically incapable of hitting "Reply All" when responding to an email. The rare times we did get a response, the only info we ever received was, "Not sure, we'll ask the owner," but there was never any follow up. As soon as we had the property owner's contact information we communicated with him directly and actually got what we needed. Not that anyone has much choice in the matter, but if possible I'll avoid Atlas Properties in the future. read more

Atlas Property manages Savage Property for 22-26 Bradlee Road, Medford, MA. Savage purchased the building in 2020. In a year's time, they had tenants remove items from storage due to asbestos, entered apartments to take pictures twice, and change locks/keys. Tenants were standing in hallways in mid-winter and could not enter their apartments due to dysfunction of key logistics. In the year, they never told tenants they would need to leave the building. Actually, did not say anything to tenants about future plans of building. Out of the blue, they gave tenants a 30 day notice to leave without any negotiation. Tenants in the building included families with small children in the school system, elderly, professionals, and Section 8. There were a number of tenants who lived in the building 22-25 years. Atlas claimed they would be renovating apartments. However they rented apartments within a week of tenants being forced to out. The behavior exhibited by Atlas and Savage was anything but moral, ethical and decent. If you want to be gaslighted, then Atlas and Savage is a company to work with. read more

I don't have extensive experience with the folks at Atlas but I did find them through Craigslist and rented my current apartment through them. They were able to help me negotiate with the landlord and get papers signed ASAP (despite my crazy travel schedule). I would definitely go back to them for rental properties. read more

John was such a GREAT support throughout the entire process from the beginning until the very end. I was moving to Boston from out-of-state and he did everything he could to help me find a place, even after several did not work out and had to coordinate with a friend for viewings because I was not in Boston at the time. Not only was he super supportive in the beginning of the process, but was also willing to help with a particularly difficult landlord management person and even checked in with me up until my move-in despite having fulfilled all his responsibilities. I highly, highly recommend working with John not only because you know this is someone you can trust, but also because you know he will have your interests in mind. read more

I really can't say enough about this place... Marc, the person who I worked with, showed me all around town and many places. Eventually he really understood what I was looking for and found exactly what I wanted! This company is great! Also, the whole office is so friendly! I became friends with half of the staff. They were so friendly when I would come in and made me feel at home. But most of all they found me an apartment that was much nicer than what I expected for a great price! They also work around the clock! If you want to find the best place in town, go through Atlas Properties! read more

Definitely call Ross ... We're trying to move back to Boston from out of state and have found him very helpful For searching (much more so than the fifteen or so other agents we've been in touch with). He actually remembers your budget, detailed needs, and neighborhood. He showed me only quality properties and I would have been happy in any of them. He gets back to you quickly o set things up and schedule viewings. Perhaps the best part is he asks the questions for you and is really up front with property managers/owners and asks about how they can accommodate you. He went above and beyond to work with us and owners to help with specifics. Obviously when you have a budget, you'll never get everything you want, and I hate how some agents are rude about that, but he seems to sincerely want to help you out. read more

Atlas Properties did an amazing job on the sale of my Back Bay condo. They went above and beyond with staging my property to make sure it showed well. With their guidance and knowledge of the property market I was able to sell my property in a matter of days at a great price. read more

Marc is a consummate professional whose knowledge of the Boston market was paramount in selling my home. He is polished, professional and always willing to go the extra mile. I have been working with Marc for four years and would recommend him highly! If you want a sharp, prepared local expert look no further. read more

We used Scott Farrell from Atlas Properties for the sale of our condo in Boston, and we are SO glad we did!! From Day 1, we were really impressed by Scott's energy, enthusiasm, and responsiveness. He was always very quick to respond to calls and emails. We were out of town owners, and we were hesitant to put our condo in someone else's hands, but we trusted Scott throughout the process. He amazed us by how quickly he was able to get our condo ready for pictures and open house. We basically had a very short window to get everything done, but Scott was able to manage the entire process seamlessly. To our amazement, he was able to get stagers and a cleaning crew into our condo within a couple days, and the staging looked absolutely beautiful! And the pictures, which were taken by Marc Russo of Atlas Properties, were stunning! Our apt had been transformed!! So basically within one week, the apt was staged/cleaned, pictures were taken, ads written, the unit listed in MLS, and ready for Open House. What was EVEN MORE amazing is that Scott was able to manage a multiple bid situation for our condo and get us a really great price for our condo within one week of listing!! We were so happy about the results and could not have thanked Scott and Marc more for their service. They are an awesome team, and we could not recommend them more. They truly care about their clients and really want to do everything in the best interests of their clients. While some agents only care about commissions, Scott really cared about getting US the best price possible for our apt. He also has a great sense of humor! Scott & Marc--thanks so much again for all your help!! read more

Scott did an awesome job for a property that I purchased in South Boston. What I really liked was his responsiveness and availability. He also had knowledge of rental properties which helped me understand the value of my new property. Along with that, he went above and beyond helping me with some tasks to move on from my previous property. I will look to Scott for future purchases and also renting out my current property. I'd recommend him to anyone. read more

I absolutely love Atlas Properties. Never have I come across friendlier, more up-beat and energetic realtors throughout my experience apartment hunting. Not only did Gus help me immensely by keeping me updated with new and upcoming listings (Atlas' apartment database is very, very up-to-date), but he also had access to special showings of currently occupied apartments so that I could get an idea of the floor plans. Gus and Marc are extremely sociable and therefore quite knowledgeable not only of listings but also the story behind them (details about the building/landlord etc). Apartment hunting can be extremely stressful, do yourself a favor and go with Atlas for an enjoyable experience! read more

I took a job in Boston without ever having been to the city. I needed to sign a lease in 7 days before I started work. (Friday) I met with Marc he showed me 5 units and told me which was the best area and best deal. I told him that I would sign the lease and to get the landlord to prepare it etc. For the rest of Friday, Saturday, all day Sunday I looked at 27 other units (6 other brokers) in Boston. After an exhaustive search I went to Marc's office and signed the lease on the unit he said was the best deal (Monday). In 3 days, I was able to get a great deal and a lease signed with no problems. He was 100% correct about the location. After living there for the past 7 days and touring all those units I feel so fortunate I was able to work with him. --- *** Also, I have had the pleasure of being a broker (Florida), and currently work in asset management, as well as having spent time working in real estate asset management. While I have never worked with Marc from a listing perspective, his persistence in getting paperwork done quickly and lining things up makes me think he would be an excellent person to list a property with. I know that if I buy rental units in Boston, Marc will be the person I will contact first. read more

My fiancee and I recently worked with Mike Nader in our search for a rental apartment in the South End. Mike was extremely responsive and professional throughout the process, and even went the extra mile on several occasions (drove to my office building in Seaport to pick up the deposit, came to our orientation and lease signing at the new apartment even though his presence wasn't required). He took the time to really listen to what we were looking for, and worked dilligently to find us the perfect place. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or rent in the Boston area. Thanks, Mike! read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gus Almeida of Atlas Properties (at the corner of Newbury and Fairfield; gus@atlasproperties.com) to find a new apartment in Boston. Apartment hunting is always a hassle, and can be a downright stressful process, but Gus immediately set himself apart from all other real estate agents I'd worked with. He was punctual, polite, and not at all pushy. He didn't try to upsell my range or pressure me into any of the units we saw -- he even talked me out of one of the more expensive places we looked at, because I wasn't satisfied with the amenities -- and cared more about placing me somewhere I'd be genuinely happy. His knowledge of the neighborhoods in which I was searching (Back Bay/South End) was impressively extensive. He knew every last detail, from utilitarian (distance to public transportation, markets, convenience stores) to recreational (restaurants, spas, boutiques). Most notably, he went above and beyond for my chocolate lab. My dogsitter bailed last-minute, and I had to take her with me to look at the apartments. When I called him in advance to make sure that would be okay, I got a cheerful, "Of course!" And when we showed up at the office on a very hot, sunny day to meet with Gus, he even surprised us with a bottle of water for her! I would absolutely recommend Gus Almeida and Atlas Properties to anyone who is sick of pushy agents who try to pressure you into taking every place, show you apartments costing hundreds of dollars higher than you ask for, treat you like a leper just because you have a pet, and don't even know if there's laundry in the building. Gus gives real estate agents a good name...which is really hard to do. read more

My fiancé and I had an amazing experience working with Scott. We were first time buyers and Scott was helpful with all of our many questions and always made time to talk us through things, regardless of the time of day. Scott quickly understood our needs, likes, and dislikes, and we were able to find the perfect condo within a few weeks. His extensive knowledge of Boston neighborhoods and total honesty helped us understand what location would be best for us. Scott never made us feel pressured into buying something that we didn't love. He has an expansive network of people that helped us through the buying process and also minor renovations after we moved in. Working with Scott was a pleasure and we look forward to working with him again in the future. read more

As a longtime R.E. investor and landlord I have become very particular about who I work with to assist in buying/selling/renting property. I first worked with Marc in 2007 and he and his team are the only R.E. agents I turn to assist me with my R.E. needs. He and his team are very personable, efficient and hardworking and are always a good source for counsel on the market conditions and strategy to execute a rental/sale. Atlas is focused boutique company that I can envision will be a force to reckon with in the Boston market in the near future. Highly recommended. read more

My boyfriend and I only had one day in Boston, so we really had to find a good apartment that day. Siomara was extremely patient with us, driving us all over the city to see places for hour after hour. She was persistent with other realtors, helping us get into places at the last minute when we weren't satisfied with the eight or nine that we'd already seen. She went above and beyond, even offering to drive us back to Cambridge, where we were staying. We're very glad that she was able to set us up with our new place! read more

Scott Farrell is on his game. Our condo had 12 offers and he negotiated our way to the top in a tough market for buyers. When we got down to the final two, he worked his magic so our offer was accepted from an owner living half a world away in Singapore. He is 24-7, non-stop accessible and ready to help. Now we have a solid investment for years to come. Go with this guy, he will make things happen. read more

Sean was an absolute pleasure to work with! He made the process easy, showed us multiple locations to rent, and had our best interests at heart. We never felt pressured and he catered to all of our needs. I would be delighted to work with Sean again. read more

I encountered this agency while I was trying to find an apartment rental. I noticed many of their advertisements on craigslist. When I called, I kept giving them the listing numbers and each time they would say "well that one actually just rented or we currently have applications on the apartment." The man then asked me if he could show me other apartments in the area, which he had available. Obviously I did not trust them since they were posting false ads to draw me in. So I kindly stated "I don't think that is a good idea." To which he responded "FINE " and then hung up the phone. Where is the professionalism in this business? read more

I'd give them no stars if it was physically possible. Had nothing but bad experiences the two times I used them (why would I go back after the first bad experience, they unfortunately were the only agency handling an awesome rental). After successfully getting the rental they cashed my check and then for the following month I spent countless hours chasing them up, I still don't have a signed copy of my lease (the second one I may add because they screwed up the first one), was rushed through signing the second lease despite a significant number of new conditions to lease (including allowable rent increases) - but was told it's exactly the same no need to read it! Their behavior was unprofessional and they blamed the landlord for being difficult to contact - who cares if thats the case that's what I paid them a butt-load of money to handle. Save yourself a lot of hassle and use another realtor, I have dealt with similar but also much better in Boston. read more

Scott Farrell! This man is truly a super agent. I moved to Boston from Los Angeles and was looking to purchase a condo since July of 2013. I contacted several real estate brokers/agents and explained what I wanted. All of them said " we will send you MLS listings, tell me if you like any of them"- then I would keep getting email after email of properties that we didn't like. Finally, Scott contacted me since I had registered on their website. The first time I spoke to him he assured me that he would find my wife and I a condo that suited our needs. He did exactly that. He listened to what I wanted, and searched actively to find the right place. We went to three showing until he showed us the condo we ended up buying. When we left the showing, he knew that this was the one we wanted. Scott asked me to make an offer based on the current price per square foot in that area. I did just that- however, I was quite fearful since the Boston real estate market is soooo crazy (all condos were going for way over asking). I signed the offer, and 10 minutes later I called Scott to increase our bid several thousand dollars. He said "NO- know this broker and I think I'll able to get this condo for you at the original offer amount". I was still worried but decided to lay back. Scott called me an hour later with great news- the condo was ours. However, it didn't end there. My wife and I are both residents in the health field and have very little income. No one wanted to give us a loan! Scott recommended a bank that he thought would most likely approve our loan. Scott not only made the recommendation, he also negotiated our interest rates down tremendously. Even after our loan was finally approved he still maintained daily contact with us to make sure all the funds were properly transferred. Unfortunately, due to the real estate market in Boston most agents don't want to work. This is just not the case for Scott Farrell. He is the hardest working agent in this town. He will not let a good home slip by to other buyers. I still have contact with Scott and he often checks up on us to make sure our move was easy. read more

Mike Nader was a huge help with my apartment hunt in South Boston earlier this month. Being a first time renter, he took the time to walk me through the process and gave great advice. Very professional and reliable! Highly recommend him and Atlas Properties. read more

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Marc and Reba at Atlas Properties. They worked incredibly hard to find my boyfriend and I an apartment that was exactly what we were looking for, despite the fact that the rental market in Boston is insane at the moment and that we had a long list of demands. Both Marc and Reba are friendly, patient, and most of all, dedicated to finding their clients an apartment that they'll be happy in. I cannot recommend them enough and will absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an apartment in Boston! read more

I use Atlas Properties as the exclusive agency to rent my Beacon Hill apartments. The biggest concern a landlord has is the quality of the tenants being brought in, and I know from experience that Atlas would never place someone financially unfit or otherwise in one of my apartments without fully disclosing every detail. They are also extremely prompt in getting vacant units rented, usually no longer than a week. I highly recommend Brian Unger for rentals, (finding or listing) and Scott Farrell and Marc Russo for condo sales. I never ended up purchasing a condo through them, but they patiently showed me every possible condo that fit my criteria, and never used any pressure tactics to get me to agree to something that I didn't feel comfortable with. 5 stars! read more
