A few days later I found 2-3 Centre realty agents posted my properties on apartments.com as if they were the listing agents, they used my photos, my property address, but wrote up their own descriptions, of course listed their contact info. I emailed all of them ask them to remove these listings, they did. Many other websites like hotpad.com Trulia.com have my listing searchable on their website, but the contact info is mine. Some websites called me and asked my permission to list my properties on their websites, but this centre realty just represented me without my permission and stole my photos.

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.

Tiago was extremely professional and helpful, guiding me through Boston's public transportation and showing me around different neighborhoods and apartments.

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.

If I could do zero stars I would…read more I can't believe they still exist! They rented us an apartment a few of years back in Boston. They popped up on Google so I felt like I had to review! Price for the quality was ABSOLUTE bs. But I guess location. Move in day: apartment was filled with trash because the poeple that just moved out were clearly pissed and it smelled terribly of like cat urine ontop of it. Then we all got infested with fleas! (my poor cat) bites all over us. They put us up in a hotel 45min away while they bug-bombed it. Because quality. My current job had to pay for all of my cabs back to the city. Then we moved in and learnred about the plywood walls that they just painted over! No insulation. No warmth in the winter. Another funny thing is our bathroom had a hole in the floor leading to the basement, they just sent a kid to fill it in with caulk and put a tile over it. After two weeks of stepping, it caved in again... Then we had the "black mold incident". We all felt like we had asthma and the guy they sent in gave us the vial of sludge as the "test." He shook his head and just moved on to the next place. Knew nothing actually plausible would happen. Upon some research the dark purple indicator on the mold test isn't a good one! A lawsuit was honestly too much work for the money I had at the time as a student, so I naturally had to just bow out after a lawyer consult because of how screwed everything was and how shitty well they kiiiind of covered thier tracks. So maybe this review will help some unweary souls make the right choice. :) you suck guys. Also, after reading other current reviews to note: All the 5 star reviews are fake! ()

She helped us find an amazing rental in Canton, and a couple years later our dream home in Sharon. Elizabeth listened to and understood our unique needs and preferences, sharing specific properties she thought we would like (and she was always right!). She was extremely patient and responsive as we took our time to find the right home for us, seeing so many places with us and never pushy or rushing us. She always acted in our best interest and is someone who not only knows the real value of a home, but can suss out the ins and outs of any property to an incredibly impressive level. She has incredible advice and also has amazing recommendations and connections to people who have made the whole home buying and moving process easier - from movers to contractors. Elizabeth made what can typically be an overwhelming and stressful process, very comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will be in your corner.

She made the home buying process smooth and took a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. She's great at negotiating, which is extremely helpful for first time buyers.

Not only do we own our first house, but we got our dream home. Even after closing, she is extremely helpful and a great resource. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with 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 condo board insisted on patching the crack in the foundation. The invoice was for over $8,000. The patch was not done professionally, and it was in no way an $8,000 fix. 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 made Barkan aware. They lie and do nothing. Oh except they charged me for their attornets fees and deducted the amount from my bank accoount without my knowledge. 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.

There is frequent late-night noise that management does nothing about. There was even a large fire in the trash area, and no one ever investigated the cause.

They will take literally 15 days to respond to any message. What a garbage.

Stayed at that apartment for 8 years before the owner had other plans for the place and I needed to move. I then worked with Amy (another absolutely awesome person) at Preservation and found my current apartment in Newton and have been here for 6 years before deciding I needed a change. Contacted Preservation and worked with Heather again and found a great apartment. All three of my experiences partnering with Preservation Properties have been great and I couldn't be more happy. Preservation really takes the time to talk to you and listen to you...all for the goal of finding you a place that is the best/right fit. Let's be honest...moving is always stressful and the folks I've worked with had a real impact toward reducing that stress. You won't be working with some cold massive real estate corporation that only cares about getting your $$$. In my personal experience, you'll be working with folks who care. I wholeheartedly recommend Preservation Properties and will partner with them again without hesitation. I appreciate all that they've done for me.

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. So glad we found him.
