I am very delayed in providing this review, but Mike Tinsley absolutely deserves the recognition. I…read moreengaged his services when my elderly mother was selling her home while I was living out of state, and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Complicated deed and family issues delayed the sale for nearly a year and a half, but Mike remained patient, professional, and committed throughout. His guidance and responsiveness made a difficult situation so much easier and gave me tremendous peace of mind from afar. I am genuinely grateful to Mike for sticking with us through such a long and complicated process. His knowledge, patience, kindness, and dedication meant more than he probably realizes. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor they can truly trust.

Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Mike made it enjoyable. He took the time to truly understand what we were looking for, asked thoughtful questions, and offered insights we never would have considered on our own. He was always incredibly responsive, professional, and--most importantly--genuinely kind. His knowledge of the market was impressive, and he helped us navigate everything from competitive offers to inspections to closing, with ease and confidence. Thanks to him, we found a home we absolutely love, and the process was smoother than we ever expected. We can't recommend Mike enough!! Thank you!!

Unsurprisingly, when I decided to look for a larger place this year, I knew I wanted to stay in the building. Without hesitation Kari Francillon personally took on the task of helping me find an apartment in the building that was best suited to my needs. She went above and beyond to ensure that I got the apartment I wanted, for the price I was looking for and accommodated my move in date to make the process completely painless! The process of moving is one of the more stressful periods for most, but I am fortunate to be part of this building where the manager and staff guarantee to take care of their tenants. Kari and her team are a pleasure to work with I can't recommend this apartment complex strongly enough.

If you haven't been, apparently at one point it…read morewas a fancy pants hotel that was converted into apartments, then into condos, and now condos and apartments. There are three main towers, one of which was completely closed for apparently decades. They are opening it back up slowly but surely. While the Longwood Towers are old, they have been kept up very well. The lobby for the Towers is impressive with gorgeous architecture. The downside to living in an old place is that the walls are perhaps not the thickest and you can occasionally hear your neighbors walking around. There is a tiny gym, laundry room, "den" w/tvs and whatnot, etc. It is also pet friendly and there is an area behind the building to walk your dog(s). The concierges & staff are highly professional and do a great job making you feel at home. However, watch out if you park your car there as I know several folks have had their car dented by the valet staff.

We had plenty of questions and worries finding a place close to my grad school, near transportation, that met our financial needs and had things like parking laundry availability etc. Especially as this was long distance with our preparation to move across states and with Covid-19 precautions they went the extra mile of providing virtual tours ! Rebecca patiently withstood back and forth emails with all these questions, confirmations, etc on the landlords behalf between multiple units we were looking at and ultimately worked with us on finalizing details for our new rented apartment. No background fees, sketchy practices or bombarding with pushy messages etc., I've experienced with other moves over the last 4-5 years and we much appreciated their professionalism throughout the entire process down to the key exchange. Definetly check the company out and ask for Rebecca she'll make sure you find a great place to live !

The property manager at 1443 Beacon St. is utterly incompetent and treats serious tenant concerns…read morelike a joke. When I tried to discuss basic boundaries regarding how staff interact with tenants, suggesting simple alternatives like professional eye contact, I was met with complete pushback. Furthermore, this manager literally watched a female tenant sob in his office and did zero to address her safety concerns while the front desk doormen were busy on personal FaceTime calls. When a tenant expresses safety concerns and a traumatic past, management should listen, not brush it off. From now on, I will only deal with Tegan, as this manager is a complete failure at his job.

When we asked them to do something about it, they just left us on read. On top of that, the plumbing is awful, shared laundry rarely has fully operational machines, and they have been doing renovations for over a year. There is a serious rodent and insect problem. With all that, they have the AUDACITY to charge almost $3000 for a 650 sq ft apartment. WTH. Also, the management team is anything but helpful. Colin Haefner takes DAYS to respond, and when he does its two sentences or less. It's like he can't be bothered to do his job. Everyone else there is lazy, and seems like they're annoyed when asked to DO THEIR JOB. Overall, the worst company I've ever rented an apartment from, and I seriously advise you not to WASTE YOUR MONEY. I'm starting to think this entire company is a scam, and wondering how they have managed to stay in business this long. Companies like this are what's wrong with America today; their corporate greed and lack of effort in all regards are horrendous. If I could rate 0 stars, I would. - EDIT: Your Response is vague and useless. Spend more time fixing your crappy realty company instead of typing the same sentence on every negative review. I don't know how you got your current role, but you seem very unfit to be in charge.

My husband and I tried to go through another realty company the past few years after ending our lease with Steve and had nothing but issues. Going back to Steve was the smart thing to do, and I don't think I will work with any other broker or leasing agent in Boston but him. He provides showings of apartments most other companies don't have, he stays in your price range, listens to the "extras" you're looking for, but most importantly he doesn't rush a sale or make you feel like working with you is a chore. He is the only broker I've ever met who actually does the work to earn his fee. Uptown Realty has listings for both Boston and Greater Boston, along with rentals and houses/condos/townhouses to buy. Check out their listings and meet with Steve, you won't be sorry.

While I can't think of anything amazing to write about the company, I think the more important…read morething is that I have nothing bad to say about them, and that is important when looking for a property management/ apartment rental company... at least in my book! The maintenance people are very nice, and very efficient, professional and helpful. All of that goes for office personnel as well. Buildings are kept clean... my only complaint would be that when I moved into my apartment I think that the walls and carpet could have been a little bit more clean than they were... but oh well, not the end of the world.

I truly can't imagine anyone who rents at 712 Tucker in Raleigh (a community newly managed by…read moreNordblom) renews their lease for a second term. I choose this apartment because I loved the look and location and didnt want to have to move after my lease ran out. Unfortunately, as you can see from all the other terrible reviews, 712 Tucker/Nordblom Company has some incredibly serious health, safety and communications concerns that are exasperated by a terrible management company. 1) The fire alarms go off monthly, if not more frequently (conveniently happens in the middle of the night and go on for about an hours before someone turns them off). This is obviously a huge concern to the safety of all residents. When I brought this concern to the management they said it was something we just had to deal with. The management then sent out extremely rude emails to residents asking us not to contact them when the alarms go off. 2) It takes months for the management at 712 Tucker to fix serious safety concerns. The garage doors were stuck in an open position, allowing anyone to enter the property. This resulted in a few people having their cars broken into. The issue continued for at least 2-3 weeks before they had anyone out to fix it. Additionally, there was a hole in the ceiling dripping musty water for over a month. We had to walk past this multiple times a day to walk our dog and we were concerned about why nobody was trying to fix it. 3) They are obsessive about the valet trash. The trash company sometimes "forgets" to pick up your trash and if you leave it out past 9AM 712 Tucker management will fine you a $25 fee. So, if you ever take a sick day or want to sleep in, be sure to set your alarm for 8:50AM to pick up your trash can so you don't get fined. 4) The property itself has some issues: The hot water in the apartments runs out in about 10 minutes, so be prepared to take quick showers and don't even think about taking a hot bath. The fire pit they show you when you tour the property has not worked in the 10 months I've been here. The TV outside does not work. The hot tub chemicals are more often than not way out of normal proportions causing the eyes and nose to burn. The coffee machine works 50/50. 5) While the location is amazing and the apartments are beautiful the noise is intense. Lots of partying groups, drunk people and yelling late at night. Most of these issues could be fixed with management and leasing professionals who care about their residents. I hope that management takes notice and tries to mitigate these serious concerns for their remaining residents. If you are considering renting, please take these concern
