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. In that time we saw quite a few houses and made several offers, but not once did we ever feel pressured by Rich - he very much works for his clients and is not at all pushy, which we sincerely appreciated! I would recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy a home in Greater Boston!

I was asked to pay and send financial documents before I had seen or signed a lease, and I was pushed to pay a full year's rent upfront. I was then told I'd need a cosigner with a 700+ credit score, even after I offered proof of funds well above the rent. I was also quoted a credit score and "late payments" from a credit check, but my credit had been frozen at all three bureaus for months and I never authorized a thaw. I declined and asked that my application and personal information be deleted. If you're dealing with this company, don't send money or documents until you've seen the unit in person, signed a real lease, and verified who owns the property. Plus they most likely selling information back home to there family and friends or worse the black market. BE AWARE!

He was very attentive, personable, and took the time to carefully listen to what I needed, and then suggested a few units - he was right on. It was everything I wanted. I really felt like he took the time to really listen and shared his knowledge of the different available options. I had reached out a bit early and as soon as units became available, he took the initiative to follow up with me to schedule a time. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend him if you're looking for your next home! You want someone who cares, is knowledgeable and has your best interest in mind.

*this review is for Valerie Foster Filiberto*…read more As a first-time homebuyer, I came to Val with an ambitious goal: find and close on a condo within two months to avoid renewing my lease. It was a tall order, but Val and I got to work immediately, and she delivered! We searched listings together, and Val connected me with properties and opportunities I wouldn't have found on my own ~ she has access to a private network of properties not yet listed on MLS that only the elite top 10% of sellers are invited into, super cool! She guided me through every step, from tours and offers to inspections, negotiations, and closing. What stood out most was how strongly she advocated for me. She never pressured me beyond my budget, welcomed every question, and made sure my concerns were addressed. Val was knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly responsive--often calling me back immediately and sending follow-up emails before we even finished our conversation. My attorney and father were also impressed by her communication and professionalism. Val made an intimidating process feel manageable and protected my interests throughout. We successfully closed within my timeline (even earlier!), and on closing day, she surprised me with cookies and a beautiful jar--the sweetest first gift for my new home :) I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to purchase a home. she truly cares about her clients and does honest business with all involved parties. I'm so grateful she was recommended to me! thank you so much for everything Val!!!

He responded after work hours and on weekends, and reminded us to submit apps and things to expedite the process and increase the likelihood of getting the apartment we wanted.

Overall good experience, though I am still confused what is the purpose of a broker, at least we did not have to pay a broker fee! Coming from outside of Boston, i appreciate that Roman was able to answer almost any questions that I had.

One of the worst places I've ever stayed & definitely not worth what we paid…read more ONLY PRO was the location - a double edge sword. 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.

(who was the property manager for my building) was very prompt in replies to both emails/calls when we had any issues or inquiries even after-hours which honestly is rare and impressive for property managers. On top of that, the building itself was very well maintained with cleaners/landscapers coming regularly and also secure. Never witnessed any packages being stolen/mail being opened which again is rare for Fenway. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews as I myself am a picky person and I was happy with the way my building was being managed (perhaps just scornful tenants?). Overall being the first apartment I've ever rented, I can say that now say I have very high expectations for property managers in the future. Thanks Premier!!

If you've been wronged by this group I'd recommend filing a complaint at:…read morehttps://www.mass.gov/how-to/file-a-consumer-complaint Hard to believe this company still exists. The absolute worst of the worst. They managed my building for two years and in that time we received fines from the city for uncleared sidewalks and complaints from vendors for unpaid bills. Ultimately they just stopped paying for the emergency phone in the building elevator seemingly because they just forgot? There was never an explanation or apology. That led to a failed elevator inspection with 90 days to reactivate the phone and install working fire extinguishers. In that time they took literally no action and didn't respond to repeated emails and calls from residents and vendors. Then the city shut off the elevator.... Needless to say, avoid at all costs

Very professional, knowledgeable, quality service and handled the process quickly. June 2024: I had to find a new apartment. While browsing apartments online I found a listing by Kristian one weekday morning and called him to let him know what apartment I was interested in viewing. We discussed things I was looking for in an apt, what my income was, apt style/amenities I was looking for and my budget range. Kristian was able to do a late evening showing the same day, and also provide info on other viewings in the area I might be interested in. Kristian answered all my questions, was knowledgeable about the premises, landlord, lease, and next steps to apply. He also let me know he was available by text or phone if I had any other questions about the apartment. Within 48 hours, I signed the lease, provided the deposit and received the keys. Due to my time constraints with work, Kristian was so kind to drive to my workplace (near Jacob Realty) to provide me the keys and receipt. 5 stars!
