Owning rentals in a different state from where we live has proven daunting to say the least, but Ed has been so extremely helpful. If it weren't for him we wouldn't be able to do this. His knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuinely helpful nature have been a lifesaver in this endeavor. The owner of this business, Peter Boyajian, has also been remarkably astute and helpful, likewise going the extra mile to help with various issues related to the ownership of this house, providing guidance and important information that we otherwise wouldn't have had. He is an excellent real estate agent. We also had a few limited interactions with Chris who, like Peter and Ed, was very thoughtful, helpful and kind, giving good advice when needed. We have greatly valued these men and their assistance, and we would not hesitate to recommend this business to others.

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. When it snows, there is little to no effort to clear the roads within the property. Overall, management is unresponsive and neglectful. DO NOT RENT WITH THE HAMILTON COMPANY. They will take literally 15 days to respond to any message. What a garbage.

I had a somewhat unique situation with 3 tenants looking for a 2 bedroom and he had a confirmation that same day that the landlord would allow 3 tenants in the apartment. We made an appointment for a showing the next day. We fell in love with the place and had a lease signed within the week. My housemates and I are in our early 20s, one a first-time renter, and Brandon was incredibly courteous, patient, and helpful in explaining to us exactly how the process worked and what information he needed. I never felt like I was being condescended to or taken advantage of, which has happened to me plenty in my apartment searches here in Boston. I only worked with him for the one apartment so I can't speak to the experience of using a realtor at Benoit for an apartment search specifically, but the process of procuring a place was super easy! Plus the office location in Davis can't be beat!

I called the general Benoit number after receiving an unsolicited text message from a realtor…read morelooking to show my apartment. We had requested that our personal information not be shared with real estate agents and for our property manager to handle communications regarding rental for 9/1 as we are not renewing, but still received a text to both my husband and my cell phone asking to show the unit, with less that 48 hours noticed (required by the city of Somerville). We never consented to playing rental agent on behalf of our property management company and never consented to provide our personal information to offices around town. I called Benoit after receiving the text message asking for our phone numbers to be removed from their records. The person who answered the phone who claimed to the the owner was rude and berated me on the phone, yelling that I did not understand how the rental business worked, after requesting that our personal information be deleted. When I pushed back and asked again, he continued to bark into the phone. Completely unprofessional, unhelpful, and wildly disrespectful of a tenant of 6 years in their current apartment. Would not at all recommend doing business with this organization, they clearly care only about money and don't have any semblance of professionalism, respect, or human decency.

We were fortunate enough to discover Noune Karapetian on YouTube while looking for a realtor in the…read moreBoston area of Massachusetts. The refined and relevant content in her videos told us that she was the one for us. The complexities of moving out of state meant that we needed someone who was rock solid and reliable to work alongside us, working in parallel, while we moved from the west to the east coast. Noune was that special person. Noune is a professional in every sense of the word. Thoroughly knowledgeable and wise in all aspects and stages of the house purchasing process, Noune was there every step of the way, to enable us to purchase our new home. One of Noune's many great attributes is her patience. While our needs were rather inflexible in terms of specific location and walkability, privacy, and access to public transport, Noune was unfazed. She maintained a positive outlook throughout and never once gave up on helping us to find the right home for us. One of the (many) things we loved about working with Noune was that she is always reachable and accessible. In the town of Arlington, properties come up - and then go - extremely quickly. Noune is equally fast and efficient. She always made herself readily available to help us to see a property the next day, if necessary - and managed our property viewings with speed and efficiency. With Noune, it's easy to forget that she has a lot of clients as she always makes you feel that she's there just for you. In actuality, of course, this isn't the case at all. She's extremely busy, yet still manages to prioritize her time with you so that feel as though you are her only clients. Let's be honest - the house buying process isn't pleasant; it's stressful, tricky, emotional, and not smooth sailing. Having Noune as your captain makes for a safe, calm journey and one which will ultimately lead you to success. Her optimistic perspective and encouraging voice will always keep you grounded while you navigate the twists and turns of securing an accepted offer. We wholeheartedly recommend Noune Karapetian for her outstanding skills and experience as a realtor and will always be grateful for everything she has done for us as a family. If you are looking for a kind, thoroughly reliable, dedicated and efficient realtor in the Boston area, do not hesitate to get in touch with Noune.

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. She gives you helpful advice during the process and communicates well with the seller's agent or the town in order to answer any questions you may have. 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.

We worked with Morgan to rent out a 3BR/1.5BA in a 2 family in Watertown. We have had rentals in…read morethe Back Bay and the South End but had little experience with a house/2 family and the Watertown area. It made a big difference that Morgan lives and works in Watertown -- she has the insider's advantage. Our tenant had served us a notice to quit on 2/28/2020 and we had March to find a replacement tenant just as Covid 19 was hitting the USA. Our tenant would cancel showings a few hours beforehand. Morgan was great at trying to come up with safe ways to promote and show the unit even before guidelines were out. Morgan found us a possible tenant but our current tenant did not move out as scheduled. The tenant kept delaying the turnover and on April 2 announced that she was staying because of Covid. There is an eviction moratorium and no certainty when the Covid crisis will end. We had to look for replacement tenants without knowing with certainty when we would reacquire possession and be able to deliver the property. Morgan helped manage a very tricky and volatile situation with the holdover tenant and did so with professionalism and courtesy. Meanwhile, Morgan continued to promote the unit and review applications. She would present us with all options but would give careful recommendations or suggestions re: the applications. There were a range of potential tenants - some with low credit scores, some with precarious work situations but receiving unemployment during Covid, some with pets and requests for work on the unit. Morgan helped us review the different applications with a quick turnaround. She also kept working until we found a strong tenant that we would be happy - someone responsible with good financials and personal references. We would be happy to work with Morgan again in the future and highly recommend her for her expertise, her professionalism, and her unflappable good humor.

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.

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!
