From our very first conversation, he was warm, funny, and incredibly helpful. He arranged a viewing quickly and answered all our questions with honesty and patience. Ruben made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. His professionalism, efficiency, and sense of humor made what can often be a stressful experience genuinely enjoyable. The application process was seamless and fully transparent. I was not only impressed by the property but truly blown away by Ruben himself. He was such a delight to work with--we'd happily work with him again a thousand times over, and recommend him to anyone.

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.

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.

After interviewing other JP relators, I decided to go with BJ because I was impressed with his depth of understanding of the JP market and the sophistication of his reasoning around timing, pricing, and bidding. Throughout the process I was impressed with the team's coordination, especially Beth, the Director of Operations. The listing/sale process was clearly explained and smooth. BJ and team coordinated the staging, smoke detector inspection, three visits by handymen to address last minute items, and the legal aspects with the attorney they work with. BJ was right on with his pricing and I accepted a final offer a few percentage points above our listing price! I give Boston Home Team my strongest endorsement!

We worked primarily with Meredith and BJ (with Meredith leading) and not only are they an absolutely stellar team, they are also the kindest, most fun humans to work with. It made what should have been a super stressful experience actually pretty fun. Before getting to know them, two aspects of their business really stood out to us (we met with multiple agents before choosing Boston Home Team): their incredible listing services - especially the photos/videos they provide (I am especially fussy about this as a full-time professional photographer myself) - and the fact that they come in and spend a good chunk of time working with the homeowner on the staging aspect. This ended up being my favorite part of the experience - working with Meredith to make our home look its absolute best. She has phenomenal taste and also offers additional items to fill gaps where needed. My husband thought it was all a bit silly ... until we closed at over 30% over asking price. ;) What we didn't realize in advance was just how much time and effort they would put into marketing our home. They work their social media hard, and the eventual buyer found our home through Facebook ads (they hadn't even been looking in our town). Their communications throughout were top-notch and I felt comfortable reaching out multiple times with silly questions and thoughts, and they were always so encouraging and enthusiastic in their responses. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We are SO grateful that our realtor friend who is no longer in the Boston area was able to recommend them to us.

My wife and I were looking to move to Boston in June for a new job in the South End. We were trying…read moreto find a place that was near the city but not feel "crowed". We contacted many different realtors in the areas of Jamaica Plain, Cambridge and Brookline. Some contacted us back and others we never heard from, which we found odd due to our budget being higher then what the normal rent was going for a two bedroom. After two months of preparing we were going no where with the agents we contacted. Then, we contacted Anthony Antunes from JP Rentals and Sales. To our amazement he contacted us back almost immediately looking to gather information right way, which we provided. Within a couple hours of contacting him he already had several options of apartments for us to look at, not only in his area of expertise but in other neighborhoods we wanted to see. Anthony set aside his morning just for us on the date we were coming into town and showed us units in Cambridge and Jamaica Plain, all up to the standards we were looking for! We submitted applications to him, for a unit in Cambridge we absolutely loved, and which he was not the listings agent of. Although, our plans to move to Boston were changed, due to company restructuring. I wanted to recommend to anyone looking to move to Boston from another state or country to contact this realtor .Anthony will go the extra mile to assist you with everything real estate.

If you're an engineer type like me, he'll give you a spreadsheet market analysis, if you are are more mood and feel, he will speak to that. 5) Great negotiator 6) Super punctual and responsive, we pulled off a 30-day closing window which wouldn't have been possible w/o Rich's professionalism I could go on.

We ultimately purchased a house in Jamaica Plain, but Neathery was knowledgeable about the Boston area generally and showed us homes in Cambridge / Somerville / Boston / Brookline and Charlestown. Neathery is a great listener and really paid attention to what we were looking for. She was also very insightful in helping my husband and I articulate some specific things we were looking for (but didn't even realize for ourselves) - and also to navigate the differences between what each of us had in mind. Neathery has an excellent communication style - always available, prompt responses, was great about keeping both my husband and I included in all communications and excellent about giving us a heads-up about the rare times she was unavailable. Neathery was also an invaluable resource during the purchase process itself. It is clear she has cultivated good professional relationships with all sorts of other realtors and brokers - and always had an insight or a way to reach out to the representative on the other side to get more information about what was going on behind the scenes or may have been motivating the sellers. After purchasing the house, Neathery has been an invaluable resource to connect us with "go-to" people in Jamaica Plain. Neathery knows everyone - designers, moving companies, tradespeople of all types, and all the fun spots in the area (which is new to us). We have really appreciated being able to reach out to Neathery with questions - and even now, months after completing the sale, she has made herself available to us with excellent advice and ideas. Thanks, Neathery, for an excellent experience! We really appreciate all your hard work. Neathery can be contacted at: 617-462-4628 or YourBostonAgent@gmail.com.
