Rachel Simpson was our realtor. I can't imagine having gone on this house hunting adventure with…read moreanyone other than Rachel. She is a local of Northampton and knows this market inside and out. She explains the entire process thoroughly and in a way that a lay person can understand. She was very responsive and really understood what I was looking for. I was looking both in CT and MA so I had two realtors - Rachel in MA and another realtor in CT. The difference between them was night and day. Rachel was not only knowledgeable but she felt like a friend - I trusted her and she understood and shared my passion for old houses and their craftsmanship. Without Rachel I don't think I would have found this home. Thank You Rachel! You are the best!!

I would give this company zero stars if I could. This company is a parasite to the area. You sign a…read morecontract to rent your place through them, they make all these promises, and deliver none of them. I went to great lengths to help my dad deal with the lack of support he got from this company when listing his apartment. The owner is incredibly rude and unprofessional. Based on her behavior and reactions to emails/messages, you can tell she regularly gets negative feedback on the way she runs her business. If she had pride in her company at all, she wouldn't treat her customers in a rude and demeaning manner. I got feedback from many potential renters saying that they would prefer not to work through rentnoho, and now I know why. I do not recommend this company. If you're new to the area, you're better off getting an apartment through Facebook marketplace than this company.

If I could give this business zero stars, I would…read more I applied for an apartment through RentNoho in good faith. I submitted my full application, provided all financial documentation required (including tax documents), and handed over more than $1,000 in money orders as instructed. Over the next week, I experienced repeated delays, shifting standards, and inconsistent communication. Despite meeting every listed requirement, I was later told additional materials (like savings documentation and guarantor income) were required--none of which were mentioned at the start. When I asked for clarification or requested basic accountability, I was met with defensiveness and unprofessional replies. After withdrawing my application due to these disorganized and untransparent practices, I received an email blaming me for the confusion and implying I had been abrasive--when in fact, I had simply been asking for the very professionalism they failed to provide. When I mentioned my experience to a local business owner, they immediately shared that RentNoho has a long-standing poor reputation in the area. After doing further research, I found similar complaints online, including a negative rating from the Better Business Bureau. If you're a prospective tenant in Northampton or the surrounding area, be extremely cautious before working with this agency. They operate with minimal accountability, poor communication, and a pattern of blaming applicants for their internal disorganization. This is not how housing access should be handled--especially in a community like this. ***update*** After sharing my experience, Sharon Heston sent me an email referencing my review with sarcasm ("Nice yelp"), cut off communication, and implied she has local influence ("I've been in the Valley 53 years" and "I have MANY folks I speak to"). This kind of reaction isn't just unprofessional--it reads as intimidation. I've already reported her. If you've had a similar experience, I encourage you to do the same. When housing access is involved, these tactics cross a line. File a report here: * Better Business Bureau: https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint * MA Attorney General: https://www.mass.gov/how-to/file-a-consumer-complaint * MA Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD): https://www.mass.gov/how-to/file-a-complaint-of-discrimination * HUD Fair Housing: https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/online-complaint This isn't just bad business--it borders on intimidation and abuse.

I needed to downsize and sell my well loved unique home of nearly 40 years to move closer to…read morefamily. My seller's agent, Kathy Zeamer met with me and helped me plan a realistic schedule to cleaning out and preparing the house for sale. Kathy has an amazing rolodex of contacts for getting things done like tree work, basement sealing and painting, and rubbish removal quickly and reasonably priced. Kathy prepared a thorough report on comparable properties and helped set a reasonable price for our property that had few comparables. She ran an open house and even unstopped a toilet after one of the viewers plugged it - I never thought that would be a seller's agent service! Kathy was there through the entire sale. I had moved, and was no longer able to be on site, and she handled all of the last minute issues before closing. My house sold quickly and at near asking price, which means that it was correctly priced and well represented. She earned her commission and I am ever grateful.

Greg Haughton took advantage of my young age, lack of boundaries, and lack of experience when I was…read more22, selling me a problem house while dismissing all the issues with the house that I had brought up, before the sale, as not important or not mattering much. Well guess what, it turns out that MOLD is important and living in this house has destroyed my health! Do NOT trust Greg Haughton, there's a reason why he is able to sell so many homes, it's because he lies to his clients and gaslights them for their REAL concerns.

A long overdue review for the wonderful Diana Baronowski of Taylor Real Estate. I worked with her…read morefirst years ago in finding a rental, and was So impressed with her skill, hard work, compassion and going the extra mile, (as well as being a lovely, kind human to deal with) I knew I wanted to reach out to her when I was in the market to buy my first home. Diana seamlessly guided us through the challenging process of first time home ownership, and really went to bat for us to be able to buy our home. She's experienced, caring, patient and fair and works hard and goes the extra mile to support her clients and look out for us. When we encountered an unexpected challenge in our path she kept us updated and guided us through and made home ownership a reality for us, I'm so grateful for her help and recommend her to others. I'll go back to Diana for real estate needs in the future if they come up. We deeply appreciate all her work and efforts on our behalf.

He knows the Berkshires market exceptionally well and is a tremendous resource on the local issues that might confront a buyer new to this area. In other words, he is the consummate professional. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

My husband and I approached Chapin Fish after several recommendations from Berkshire locals who had…read morenothing but positive things to say about him. We were told he is a sharp, responsive, creative, and motivated broker to work with and his reputation proved to be true. With his extensive knowledge and connection to real estate in Berkshire county, Chapin was able to navigate our way through a fairly complicated purchase of a foreclosure with a failed septic system - this can create a nightmare if you require financing for the purchase - and not only helped us to purchase the property for less than the asking price, but also to close 3 weeks early!!!!! Through all of the bumps along the way (thrown at us by Fannie Mae), Chapin was always easy to reach, patient with questions, and able to anticipate what was next with a prepared strategy. We could not have been happier with Chapin as our broker.
