    Hugh Gelch was my landlord when I first moved to the Boston area, and he's great.

    Not usually one to write reviews but my experience was so awful. If you have interest in this…read moreRealty group I am highly recommending that you reconsider. Especially not with Israel Reyes. At first, I was excited about my opportunity to rent one of these properties, but as we got closer and closer to signing the lease, more and more red flags continued to pop up. When I was extended an offer on an apartment, Izzy was eager at for me to get out any questions I had on the unit - I didn't have many concerns, but since he seemed so friendly and open I decided to ask why the rent was being raised by $100 mid lease term as I would be taking over for another tenant who broke their lease. Immediately he went on a tangent about how expensive everything is nowadays - specifically fire alarm panels (?) - this should have been the first red flag. If you are going to buy up all of these properties, be prepared for the upkeep. It's part of the job. But I didn't argue, as I understood, and asked solely out of curiosity and was being pushed so hard to put any lingering concerns on the table. The second (and larger) red flag was when Izzy continuously complained about tenants who request maintenance. He even said that he had just finished moving in a tenant who pointed out something in the unit that was in need of repairs, and told me he offered her every penny of her money back if she would just move right out of the apartment that same day. Not sure if anyone has ever told him this, but that's what you do when you first move into an apartment. You make note of everything wrong with it so that when it comes time to refund the security deposit, you have your bases covered and proof of preexisting damages. But, he only viewed this as complaining and wanted to kick her out. That's what made me question if this was his first day on the job or if he's truly been doing this for 20+ years as he claimed. It was just plain unprofessional. No 'landlord' should have that short of a temper when it comes to keeping apartments in decent shape; apartments that tenants are already overpaying to live in. It's clear he sees his people as cash flows and not human beings. But I decided to look past all of this in hopes that I was just overthinking. I received a link to be set up in their tenant portal. The first strange thing I noticed in the portal was that the app showed a past charge of $35 for the application fee, but my receipt and credit card statement showed a $40 charge. Not a big deal but I was wondering who pocketed that extra $5, and was afraid to ask in fear it may upset Izzy. So, I'm getting ready to set up my portal and review the lease, but the app wants me to pay a $4200 deposit before proceeding. I thought this was strange and was hesitant to ask about it but decided it was worth a shot. I had never done it this way, but was open to it if there was a good explanation. Izzy and I had spoken several times and like I said, he encouraged me to ask any questions I needed in order to feel comfortable. Turns out, asking if I could see the lease before paying $4200 was enough to get my account locked and told they are no longer interested in my tenancy as it was indicative of some sort of trend with me. While this was confusing to me as I truly didn't think it was that unreasonable of an ask, I'm glad his true colors showed before I gave them any more of my money. Izzy Reyes wants people who will pay up and shut up. I highly question the legitimacy of his company - who's to say I would have gotten my $4200 back if I then reviewed the lease and there was some crazy clause in there? He pushes and pushes for his prospects to ask questions, but has 0 patience when it comes time to give answers. So please, save yourself the time, stress, money, and headache and go somewhere else, before you get scammed out of thousands like I almost did.

    Total SLUMLORD!!! INCOMPETENT SCUM! CHECK REVIEWS ON FACEBOOK TOO! Israel Reyes has lied and…read moreattempted to steal from us. He left us homeless with our 2 children, and kept all of our of our money. DO NOT WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE! Everything was fine until he found out that I have a service cat. She's an as ESA, he couldn't deny her. When I told him, he got very angry and first said we couldn't have the house, then said we could but the previous payment arrangement we agreed to was actually never an agreement even though there is a clear paper trail. Eventually he realized it was discrimination so he went back to the original payment agreement. They gave us a confirmed Move in date and time, which was texted to myself and my husband, and told not to be late because his sister Maria was moving us in and she had several appointments. When we arrived the previous tenant to keep her stuff in the garage and to give her a garage door opener. So we had to allow a perfect stranger unlimited access to our garage! Then the basement had exposed pipes, ripped flooring and the worst bathroom I've ever seen. We were told the bathroom was being redone, but that didn't happen, it looked like a shower fit for prison! There was so much stuff and so many people viewing the home at the same time, we could not see the fully exposed pipes coming out of the floor when we originally viewed the home. We wanted to walk the property vacant before signing or paying, but were told no. We needed a home and were in a time crunch. We were We were understandably upset by these and the condition of the home. Maria was extremely rude as soon as we got there. She called and put Israel on the phone who asked what the issue was, I started talking about the basement and before I could even finish, he said, ok great! Don't take possession that's perfect! But said he was keeping our security deposit. At this point we are homeless with 2 kids and couldn't afford to lose that money so we said ok we will move in. He then refused to allow us to. His sister called the police. Then she didn't like what they had to say so started yelling and telling them they have no jurisdiction here! She called them! The cops were furious. They called their Sargeant to come down. He was so nice and he ended up screaming at the lady because she was so nasty and unreasonable. They refused us entry and refused to return our security deposit. Israel then told us he wasn't going to give us any of our money back, because he didn't want to "piece meal it," and we would deal with the whole thing in Court. We asked him to at least return the $3150 that he agreed he owed and we could deal with the security deposit in court, but he refuses stating he wants to keep it all one simple transaction. He wanted me to put in writing that we were the ones that walked away. I'm not that stupid. So now he has all of our $5250 dollars so we can't get a new place and are in our cars with 2 kids. This man took all of our money, and left us homeless. Please save yourself and DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE! Attached are pics of the "fully remodeled" shower. UPDATE! After forcing us to sign a contract agreeing not to sue for further damages, clearly he knew he was guilty, and to take down my google review, Israel Reyes finally returned our money. I am so grateful to his crazy sister for calling the police because we have most of this craziness in a detailed report. She even lied to the 911 dispatcher!! See PHOTOS to read the POLICE REPORT. He played games for days, made no sense and kept changing his story. He had all our money and was ignoring us until I wrote this. After I said I agreed he asked me give him a 5 star review and get 20 of my friends to also. I feel blackmailed and he wants 5 stars?! His major narcissism is the only reason we got our money back. If I hadn't written this he would still be ignoring us. That contract was signed under duress, I will not remove my review in hopes that it saves someone from this SCAMMER! See copy of POLICE REPORT! In photos below! CRAZINESS!

Other then packages getting stolen there are no real complaints. For her first apt she is loving it, the location, her experience. The few issues she had was addressed by management immediately. Move in was easy and she has had no issues at all and she has been there 6 months. The comments I read here is not a reflection of her experience. From my understanding this Company has a few properties and with that many tenants somethings are bound to go wrong or missed. Sometimes unnoticed but from my experience each time I have had to call them the issue has been resolved.

    I could describe Ted Rist in generalities but I figured I'll describe him and his right-hand man…read morenamed Rubin and their behavior towards us on the day we moved into their property. Two days prior to moving in, I called Ted and asked him what the earliest time we could come collect our keys was. He said that he didn't force his previous tenants to be completely moved out at the end of the lease so we might run into the previous tenants, he then went on a long tangent about how "they're good guys, you know, and also the heat works really well." I asked my question again, he said "Sometime between 9 and 10." I said, "So 9?" He said, "How about 10?" So there it was - we arrived at the building on the day at 9:55am. Ted was nowhere to be found - turns out that's typical of his "management" style. We called the number his answering machine gives as the "maintenance" number. That's where Rubin came in, he told us he'd arrive in 20 minutes, he arrived over an hour later. After we got let in, we found the toilet wasn't flushing, so I called Rubin. He said, "Give me five minutes." Two hours later - no Rubin. I went downstairs to Ted's office, he was there and said "Oh, sorry Rubin is taking so long, he ran out to get me some coffee." No mention of Ted's not showing up when he agreed to. Keep in mind, Ted is perfectly capable of getting his own coffee, especially when his maintenance guy has to go fix a new tenant's toilet. From that day forward through the end of our lease, Rubin especially repeatedly made demeaning and derogatory comments towards us whenever he had to come complete maintenance work (which was not that often). If that sounds like an experience you're interested in, this is the place for you. The location is indisputably great, minus the endless construction, but that's about it.

    Ted Rist is / was the owner of Amber Property Management…read more When I lived in Boston, Amber managed the building and they were God awful. All the bad things you heard about bad property management companies, Amber embossed all of them. All calls when unanswered. When you did call, often he would say "What do you want me to do about it, I am up in New Hampsha" Any job, small or large, was always done half assed backwards and looked like it was done by a 9 year old. Everything they touched they screwed up. I usually had to finish or redo the repair so it was properly done. One day, the landlord had them install laundry facilities in the basement. Well they did, and hooked up the dryer wrong so it was free and we did not have to pay. Great for the tenants. It was about a month before the landlord discovered this and Ted and his crew ended their tenure on our building.

I have a written agreement that has automatically been extended each year, with the same terms. Recently I received a charge for something covered in my package with them. They refused to take the charge off my invoice, even though they acknowledged it was part of my covered services, and charged my credit card for the service. Further, they are supposed to answer my phones, and yet the phone constantly goes directly to my voice mail without being answered by the staff, despite the fact that i pay for this service. When I voiced my concerns to the "new" manager (there have been several new area managers over the past few years), he was unresponsive. He did not call me.
