There's no excuse for confirming appointments without properly coordinating with tenants first. This shows a complete lack of organization and respect for people's time. After multiple wasted trips, it's clear this is not a one-time mistake but a pattern. I would strongly caution anyone considering working with this company--expect poor communication, unreliable scheduling, and unnecessary inconvenience.

She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time. When we liked the apartment, she asked the tenants so that we could see it twice. She negotiated our rent and other move in costs with the realty. She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. I have had a lot of bad experience with brokers here in the Boston market but working with Kim made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend her.

The condo board didnt take responsibility until I got the building inspector for the town involved. My place flooded several times-tens of thousands of dollars in damages.

The invoice says its for 100 feet of a crack. The crack is maybe 3 feet. The $8,000 cost was paid by the other owners. Water continues to come in to my basement. There is mold.

I have hired an Attorney but truthfully dont need thiz headache. Thess people are as slimy as they come. I moved out due to Barkan.

Judging from Tatyana A's five-star review of Advantage Property Management with the manager's last…read morename spelled incorrectly, I'm guessing she and he have a lot in common. He once sent an email explaining a condo board decision this way: "This would set a bad president [sic] for others." I don't consider him to be so much "one of the biggest bumbling fools I've ever met," as Adair G. wrote, as simply non-responsive, a comment I noted virtually every other reviewer made in another Yelp listing for his company. On the one out of 50 times he responds to an email or phone call, he is perfectly affable. The problem is that he apparently doesn't have a clear understanding of the role of a property management company--not to suck up to the board but to represent the owner of every unit. We all pay for his services yet he seems to believe that as long as the board members renew his contract, he is doing his job. He does a very good job of servicing the three owners who comprise the board which accounts for the one star I'm giving him.

Reviews here seem binary either you hate these guys or love them. Personally, real estate is a…read morerather poopy business. Tough to please everyone, it's like middle management you got all this responsibility and no power. Anyways, living in allston and brighton for 11 years, i've had experience with the good and the bad, these guys were good all the way through the process. sure there were bumps here and there and i let out my fair share of expletives but generally it wasn't their fault if the owner of a unit decided to back out, or if a potential buyer got cold feet. In the end, i tried to treat them like a partner instead a servant and it worked well. I started as a renter, ended up as an owner and recently sold my place. Goodbye allston, hello world. That said, their service is good, they know their stuff and since they do property management they have access to units that aren't available on to the open market. That was a pretty good reason to use them. I support family business, they aren't always as slick and technologically advanced as the corporate cats but it's nice to know there's real people there who care about what happen to you.

I hired Gamut Group LLC, a former employee and affiliate of this company, to find a tenant for me…read moreduring the pandemic as my prior tenant was moving out. They were compensated a broker's fee of one month's rent and showed the property when my tenant was away on vacation. The owner, Leah P, left all lights on, all doors open, including the back door wide open and the heat on. They were the one who had access to the unit during that time frame but tried to blame it my tenant who was out of the country. My tenant was extremely upset upon returning from vacation. She offered to help get my home ready prior to the next tenant. I was billed $600+ for the cleaning fee, painting (no invoice provided) & another repair of $250 (which was never performed). The total I was charged was the exact amount of my moving out tenant's security deposit. When the new tenant moved in the unit was filthy despite being charged with an exorbitant cleaning fee even after accounting for today's inflation. My new tenant was irate and the Leah was conveniently missing in action. When I confronted them, they gaslight me, throwing it back on me, when I was not even present during the aforementioned incidents as I was out of state at the time. After numerous conversations with tenant, they procured we both concluded we had been deceived and maltreated. They spoke ill of my tenant to me and to my tenant of me. Gamut Group LLC caused me an inordinate amount of conflict for me with both tenants and my neighbor. It was never their fault despite having ample evidence to the contrary. Each time they had hyperbolic excuses to explain blunders away. One excuse was the owner was contracting a "new" case of Covid every couple of days over a period of 30 days. I can speak from expertise while it is possible to get COVID-19 again while recovering from a previous infection, it is extremely rare. The immune system usually builds some level of protection after an initial infection. They utterly failed to take responsibility and ownership of her mistakes. They are a former affiliate of Kunevich & Lau, Gamut Group LLC engages in fraud, misappropriates client funds, and clearly considers ethics as situationally optional.

As someone who used to manage my property (from long distance), I knew the pain and efforts involved in dealing with tenants...and honestly..after a few years, I wanted nothing to do with managing a rental from far, far away. I remembered calling and leaving a voicemail message with Southpaw about my desire to find a property management company to help me rent out and manage my unit...and..to my surprise, I got a call the same day back..and all within several hours when I totally wasn't expecting it! Within a few days...I worked with Kyle to sign my rental agreement, provide him information and access to my rental unit...and the unit was already rented out...all within 24 hours of signing my agreement to have Kyle manage my property! Wow..I was impressed! What impressed me more was Kyle's ability to manage rental properties. He took great care of tenants and property owners alike. He's fair..and not just siding with either side. He is not hesitant to tell me as an owner what I needed to do to make sure my tenants are happy (and he's happy to do the same to keep me happy dealing withe thing from repair to HOA as well). I am also very happy to see that...with Southpaw...the need to manage my rental property or handhold anything..is pretty much nil! Kyle took care of everything! And..I just saw..that I recently gave a consent to continue renting out my unit/extend rental offers to my current tenants..and he already had them signed extending for another year of rental at my unit ahead of expiration of an existing lease! That's a testament to Kyle and Southpaw's competencies and proactive approach to management! I love it that..for once..I can really sit back and trust that Southpaw can handle my rental on my behalf! For a long while, I worry about having to sell my unit if the property couldn't be rented out..but with Southpaw...I didn't have to worry about sale of my property anymore..because true passive rental income from this property is now a reality for me!

I wish there was a sub zero evaluation because on a scale of (-5 ) to (+5), I would have given…read morethem a (-5 ) on their condo management performance. G&G at times misdirected and supported the HOA, subsequently allowing them to to make crucial mistakes. I believe that a management company should be educating and directing the trustees to follow state and federal requirements. Due to the hectic lifestyle of the people who would be more qualified for the job, the trustees are voted in, are grossly unqualified, uneducated, misinformed, prejudiced and disorganized. Many of them lived in the building for their entire life and don't want any changes to the status quo, refuse to form themselves to the new era of technology and advancement. I found that in many occasions G&G supported the trustees with all their ideas instead of advising them against discrimination, judgment, retaliation or the legal consequences of their actions. In my personal opinion, as we all know my perception is my reality! G&G management is probably the WORST management company I've ever dealt with. In my opinion HOA's should have an attorney on a retainer when dealing with the above mentioned management group.
