I worked with Niko Nifakos and was very satisfied with my experience. I was a bit late to the game searching for an apartment and he made sure we got everything we needed submitted on time. He also went back and forth a lot for us with the landlord sorting out a few details.I would be glad to work with Niko again and would recommend him to anyone else apartment hunting.

Working with Guerrio to find a place was great! He was very responsive, listened to my criteria, and was quick getting the paperwork set up. 5/5, would work with these guys again.

Nick at Jacob Realty was a lifesaver for me. We moved from a couple hundred miles away and couldnt see places in person. He found us a place that fit everything we asked for in peak season, showed it to us over FaceTime, and took care of us while the paperwork got sorted out. Weve been in our place for a few weeks now and love it! Couldnt have done it without him.

Our broker was exceedingly helpful in assisting our roommate group with finding a house. We had very specific requirements, and passed on many options, but Jacob continued to bring us suggestions.We moved into our new house this week and couldnt be happier! Youre in good hands with Jacob.

Had a great experience renting with them. Jake Coro gave me his direct number and would answer any questions I had pretty quickly, he was able to take down the criteria I was looking for in a place and help me find the right one that would suit my needs. Finding housing in Boston is obviously extremely challenging but he did a good job helping me find a place that would work for what I needed.

I worked with Daniella and Jacob Realty to find my new home. I was coming from out of the country and was having trouble renting something virtually since I didnt feel comfortable with the places I was seeing and with the agents I was speaking to that didnt want to answer my questions unless I applied. I am a medical professional so I have a busy schedule but Daniella was very helpful and responsive, and went out of her way to send me pictures and videos of the unit so I could think it over after we facetimed. I got a very good deal for a newly renovated place with parking, and she helped me negotiate the rent $75. I recommend anyone looking for a place in Boston work with Daniella and Jacob Realty.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! This realty office along with the personal is utter garbage. There is little to no communication between the agent Anthony Tse and the applicants, Anthony Tse had on multiple occasions fabricated information on apartments, waited until 1 hour before a last minute dead line to inform anyone of such and then ghosted everyone after. My S.O and I have an emotional support animal and upon learning this, ghosted the entire application we submitted along with full deposit until the location was rented to someone else. I personally spoke with a few people in the office to learn more about what was going on due to the lack of communication, only again to be ghosted by this agency. It took from May 3rd until June 2nd to hear back on anything. When we found another apartment through Anthony, last minute he decided to go on a plane and not tell anyone until we were at the apartment for the scheduled viewing. Rest assured, ethics complaints will be filed and the proper authorities will be notified on the laws and regulations Anthony Tse and Jacob Realty have broken more than once with us. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

I am a student at Northeastern who was referred to Dani by another student last year (early 2020). Due to the COVID pandemic, me and my roommate ended up not renting anything as we both went back home. However, now we are back in the city for school for Spring 2021. When we realized we needed an apartment Dani was the first one we called, remembering our great experience with her. She was professional, but relatable and funny, and she perfectly understood what we were looking for as students. She never once asked us to compromise any of our priorities, and found us 3 options we were genuinely torn between. I will be referring anyone I know to Dani if they are moving within Boston or if they are looking to work in real estate, as I wish all agents were more like her.

Jacob coro represented me and my two brothers throughout the process of purchasing our first multi family home. The process was delayed back in the fall due to covid-19 causing some delays, and after a long drawn out process we were finally able to successfully close on a turnkey investment in dorchester, in an amazing location.Jacob helped the process move fluidly and stayed on top of everything as necessary, thank you Jacob, and Jacob Realty for making this possible.

My existing Landlord, at the last minute did not renew my lease, so she could convert the apartment to condos. Its mid August and now I am nervous!I happened to find Amanda Latasz, a broker at Jacobs and I genuinely felt a sense of relief. Her professional nature, but calm low pressure approach really made the difference. Ive been in Boston for 30 years and rented at Burroughs Wharf, Harbor Towers and Commercial Wharf, but this time I just needed a nice clean studio near a T.I cant say enough about Amanda, she was like a cross between a broker and a therapist, making the process stress free. Amanda is not your typical broker. I needed a cheap studio, not the biggest money maker for any broker, but she treated me like I was her only client. Answered every call, gave me news an updates (from her office) at 9 PM. I had never used Jacobs Realty before, but as long as Amanda is my broker, I wont use any other Boston firm in the future.As a serial renter who likes to move around, I am a good client to have, but I am also type A pain in the you know what. Amanda managed the process and me better than brokers twice her age,I highly recommend Amanda, and Jacobs. The level of attention and service and theyre seemingly enormous database of apartments make them my new go-to broker.Christopher Pez

I have worked with Jacob Realty over the years, mostly having one point of contact there every year. This year I have been coordinating with Daniela Alvarado, who has been very helpful at keeping us updated on where the market is, how many properties are available, and provided us with real time data reports her CEO generates. Times got tough but Daniela and Jacob Realty have not stopped providing the best service around, and if anything have clearly just worked harder while showings move to be remote. I recommend both Daniela and Jacob Realty to any landlord hoping to get their properties rented at this time.

I wish I could give Jacob Realty a 100 stars ! Guerrio Anilus was my agent with this company and I could not be more thrilled with my experience . I was looking for a home for months with a realtor who didn’t seem to share my passion and I decided I would give another realtor a try . I met Guerrio and immediately saw that the passion he had matched mine . I had put 10 offers on homes with my previous agent before I started with Guerrio at Jacob realty and had no luck . I only put one offer with Guerrio and I found my dream home . His drive and aggressive client activism got me the home of my dreams . I am a first time home buyer and I thought the process was supposed to be stressful and complicated but Guerrio walked me through each step and even communicated with my mortgage officer to make the deal go as smoothly as possible . I closed my loan in 30 days and I owe it all to Guerrio at Jacob Realty . I recommend that anyone trying to find a home should have an agent as passionate and as professional as Guerrio Anilus !

Harry was extremely helpful in finding my roommates and my new apartment. He was super helpful with any reminders and always kept us in the loop with anything that was going on. Harry was always available and always acted as if we were his first priority. Harry still is helping us with the rest of the process in moving into our apartment by giving us all the information we need about who to contact, payments, and a myriad of other things. I am truly appreciative for all of his hard work and would recommend anyone who is looking for a new place should contact him!! Would definitely recommend Jacob Realty and specifically Harry if you need a new place.

Got a job up in the Boston area and had a quick, 2.5 weeks to find a place within my budget/geographic preference. After connecting with Marcus Williams from Jacob Realty, he quickly gave me a few options and was flexible on when I could come view. I was able to view an apartment and had the keys within a 5 day turnaround. Marcus knows the area and market and wants to help you the best he can! 2 thumbs up and 5 Stars.

I am so incredibly thankful to Jacob Realty for their dedicated service throughout my Boston apartment search. I worked closely with Jason Nicol during a very stressful last-minute search and was immediately put at ease. Jason took my initial call at 6:00pm on Friday and spent the weekend sending me some great listings to view. When none of the initial properties were the right fit, he worked late into the night so we could go on 6 more showings the very next day. I found the perfect apartment for me in Cambridge in record time and could not be more relieved and appreciative. I will definitely be using Jacob Realty in the future as well as recommending them to all my friends and clients. Thank you again, Jason--you really saved the day!

Working with Anthony Tse has been the worst experience I have had with a realtor. During a pandemic, Anthony constantly shows our apartment with little to no notice (24 hour notice in lease). He doesnt care about the lease or our health. I had to speak to the owner of the house, who also agreed that Anthony must follow the lease, and give us at least 24 hour notice, but he doesnt care. Anthony cares about the bottom line and doesnt care about you, or your health, or the health for anyone you might come across.

I worked with Dylan Hedmark in regards to finding a apartment in South Boston. We were looking for a place where it had 5 bedrooms, more than one bathroom and allows pets! Dylan was extremely helpful and showed us many apartments based on our needs. We fell in love with one of the places that was still being worked on. Dylan promised us that the place would turn out amazing and he even listened to our requests that we made while they were still working on it. We just moved into the apartment and the place is wonderful! Brand new gutted and renovated. We are so excited to live here for a couple of years. Jacob Realty is great at what they do and will give you what you want! Thanks Dylan!

I had an awesome experience apartment shopping with Kristin Cotter. I was only in town for a couple days, and overnight she set up 6 viewings for my roommate and me. She made the whole process so much less stressful (and actually kind of fun), and was really attentive to what we were looking for in an apartment. We love our place and know that we would never have found it without Kristins help.She is also just a sweet person overall. I would work with her again any day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable broker.

I began working with Dani and Jacob realty after seeing positive reviews at the other (partner) company she used to work for. She had raving reviews and I wanted to work with someone I could feel would be honest and trustworthy. The first apartment she showed us rented, mainly because my roommate and I were to slow- she was right to tell us to move quickly. However, she made calls and really put in the work to find us an even better apartment in the same area (Allston/ Brighton) with much lower up front costs! We couldn’t be happier and are very excited to be moving in.

I had a great experience working with Dylan Hedmark at Jacob Realty looking for a one-bedroom apartment in South Boston. Dylan was very responsive even over a long holiday weekend. He was listening well to my needs on budget and criteria and only showed me units that are matching what I was looking for. He arranged all viewings nicely in one day and I was able to find my perfect match apartment within the week. I would always recommend to work with Dylan if you are looking for a customized and targeted apartment search.

Wilfredo was incredibly helpful and always put in the effort to make sure I saw as many apartments there is out there that fit what I was looking for. He is a great real estate agent who has always been very professional and was always met with a positive attitude that made the search painless. Always answered each and every one of my many questions, and went the extra mile to investigate the answers that was not immediately available. He was dependable and was someone I could trust to always follow up. In my experience, Wilfredo was certainly a cut above the rest. I would recommend Wilfredo to anyone looking for a place in Boston.

Fabrice Bastien of Jacob Realty showed us an apartment in South Boston that seemed too good to be true, so we were hesitant to commit without seeing other options to compare. Despite our indecisiveness, Fabrice kept in close contact and continued to reach out to us with other options within our credentials and, as well, made himself available for in-person tours. Also, he was able to get the landlord to waive last month payment up front, which definitely helped our decision. In the end, we went with the original apartment, and the process was pretty seamless. We certainly shared some laughs with Fabrice, and appreciate all of his time, help and patience with us!

Without her I know we would not be where we are today with a wonderful new place to live. She’s the best!

After copious amounts of searching for an apartment I ran into Jesse, who stuck with us until he found an apartment that fit our needs. Jesse was understanding and accommodating with his time in being available when we needed. Jesses easy going demeanor and insights in the East Boston Area were invaluable and made me feel like I was dealing with a professional who didnt look at me like a walking checkbook, but instead someone who was just looking for his next home. The next time Im looking, I will definitely be looking first to Jacob Reality and for Jesses assistance.

If you are looking for a new place in Boston, I would highly recommend Jacob Realty! I recently found a beautiful apartment here thanks to Alisha from Jacob Realty. The place had everything we wanted and it was in our price range! Alisha was really great about showing us a variety of places so we had some options to choose from. If I ever decide to move to another part of Boston, I will definitely choose Jacob Realty again. The service was great and the apartment I ended up with was even better!

We had a great experience with Nelson at Jacob Realty. We havent lived in Boston for almost thirty years but had a parking space to sell remotely.The process took just under 13 months (through no fault of Jacob Realty) and all through that time they remained upbeat, supportive and continued to work hard for the sale - which was finally closed this week!I would highly recommend their services for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Back Bay area and beyond.

I would highly recommend using this company. I had a very wonderful experience working with Alexander Macy. While searching for my new home in the Boston area I had talked to and met with at least 7 different brokers and I was most impressed by Alexander. He was helpful, kind, sincere, honest and was willing to go the extra mile to help me get my needs met and find my new home in the Boston area. Besides meeting all the needs in his professional role he was also very personable and friendly, he didnt make me feel like he was just trying to get my money. I would definitely use their services again if n when I am pursuing finding another new home.

I had a wonderful experience with the realtor Derek Bruno from Jacob Realty. When we initially reached out to him, he was very quick to send us a list of apartments that met all of our requirements and was very flexible to show them to us. Derek was very accommodating to work best with our schedules and do anything he could to make the process more convenient. Overall, we had no problems throughout our application process and payments and Derek was great at reaching out to us and keeping everyone on the same page. I would use Derek again as a realtor in a heartbeat and couldnt have been more pleased working with him.

Fantastic customer service and punctuality! I highly recommend using Jacob Realty.My husband and I reached out to Jason Nicol at Jacob Realty a little over a week ago because we were interested in renting an apartment in Beacon Hill. As with every company I’ve reached out to, I provided a little blurb about us/ our situation—most importantly explaining that my husband is active duty military and we are currently stationed overseas but will be arriving in Boston in a few months.Jason was the ONLY person that actually read my message before promptly responding to me. Unlike other responses who asked me when I would like to come by and see the property, Jason recognized I am out of the country and offered other ways to view the property (like pictures, videos, video chat, etc.)Despite the 6-hour time difference between us, Jason made communication with me a top priority and made the renting process as stress-free as possible.In addition to our struggle of being overseas, my husband and I were completely unaware of how the renting process in Boston works and had a ridiculous amount of questions. Jason answered them all and took the extra time to help us and ensure we understood every step.I highly recommend working with Jason Nicol at Jacob Realty!

It was a true pleasure to deal with Jason Johnson from Jacob Realty. Jason was unbelievably efficient and responsive, and his instincts were amazing.

We worked with Kristin Cotter to find a first apartment for our son and his roommate while they were finishing up their last year of college in the mid West.

Kristin Cotter was fantastic! She not only was knowledgeable and well prepared for our apartment hunt, she also made the process enjoyable. Finding a two-bedroom place in Cambridge, MA—what could have been a really harrowing experience—was fun and rewarding with Kristin guiding our way.

Couldn’t have had a better experience with Niara’s help! Me and roommate are new to the Boston market, so we had many questions and were looking a great spot in a safe neighborhood but were also nervous because we knew we were late in the game by the time we were looking. She really nailed down what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect spot in South Boston, which we fell in love with right away. She encouraged us to move quickly as we were one of the first to see it and we were approved within days. She couldn’t have made anything easier for us, was so attentive to all of our needs throughout the process, so quick to reply to any of our questions and worked with our landlord back and forth several times when we requested to see once again to confirm that this was the place for us. Highly recommend working with her and will definitely be referring her to others when they are looking for a spot in the area! Thanks Niara for all your help!

Kristin Cotter was a breeze to work with. I was looking for an apartment for my daughter going off to college and Kristins knowledge was key. She listened to everything we were looking for and was exceptionally responsive. Kristin got us into an apartment that checked all the boxes. This process which I was dreading was made exceptionally easy thanks to finding and working with the right realtor. If I need to look again my first call would be Kristin and I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a place in the Boston area. Jacob Realty is lucky to have her.

I used Kristin Cotter of Jacob Realty to help me find a condo as a second home. After one offer we gave fell through, we had to return to our first home for our jobs. But we decided to let Kristin continue to look for us.And we ended up purchasing another condo based on her research and knowledge of our budget and preferences. She was extremely careful about looking at the fine print, discovering any problems we would have missed, reviewing condo documents, and even finding and correcting errors in the closing papers. We closed on it without actually seeing it. And we think she found us a good quality condo for the price.Yesterday my husband and daughter both were able to take a look at our mystery condo and were thrilled with the unit. I wouldnt have trusted many people to do this for us. But after spending a day looking at properties with us, I realized she knew us well enough to be an effective proxy and advocate.Thanks for your hard, diligent work.

A few weeks ago, my roommate and I were urgently looking for a new place with immediate availability due to mold found in our then current place. We worked with Mari and she was the best realtor weve ever encountered. Weve lived in the Boston area for 5 years and worked with several other realtors.

During my recent apartment search, I encountered Alex Macy at Jacob Realty who assisted me by significantly weeding through listings and helped me save valuable time by selecting choice listings suited for me and my budget. Alex was very responsive, always answering calls, promptly returned text messages and set up all the various appointments to fit in to my busy schedule. Alex was also a great asset by helping me avoid hurdles that would have slowed me down in my search for great living. If he did not know the answers to my questions, he was able to tap into resources and get me the info I needed without delay. Normally, finding a new place to live can be stressful, but working with Alex and the professional staff at Jacob Realty was a painless endeavor. I would recommend Alex and Jacob Realty to anyone looking for a great place to live in and around Boston.

Anna Efthimiadis is an all-star broker, and the best Ive ever had the pleasure of working with. She is kind, professional, communicative, and truly listens to you to help you find what you want. She helped my roommate and me find the perfect apartment that was within our price range in Harvard Square, a rare gem! Most notably, Anna goes above and beyond, and advocates on your behalf. She drove us to meet with our landlord in person and led negotiations on the leasing agreement. Its wonderful to work with a realtor whom you know has your back, and I would absolutely recommend Anna to all of my friends!

Jacob Realty has great employees working for them, and cares about its customers. My boyfriend and I were fairly new to apartment hunting in Allston, and our agent, Harry Hardman, went above and beyond to get us a variety of choices. He spent over an hour with me on the phone whittling down options in our price range and then most of Saturday showing both my boyfriend and I the finalists. He was both honest and principled, and I felt like we got a great apartment out of his help. Harry even followed up with one of the real estate companies on our behalf to ask a few questions, which helped us immensely. I would contact Harry again for finding places in the future, and would recommend him/Jacob Realty to friends and family! :)

I recently relocated to Boston from Chicago and Toby Boice was extremely helpful throughout the process. Toby organized over 16 apartment viewing in 1 day as I only had two days to find an apartment in Boston. All of the units were within my price range and had what I was looking for in regards to amenities. Also, his process was simple which eased the stress from finding a place. He is a great guy who is honest and straight forward, I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is looking for a place in the Boston area! Thanks Toby!

Kristin Cotter is the best! She helped my roommate and I find exactly what we wanted within the first week. As new renters with pets, we had a lot of questions and she was super easy to contact and quick to respond. Thanks Kristin and Jacob Realty for all of your help! Will definitely recommend!

My wife and I contacted Jacob Realty with the hope that a. someone would answer the phone, and b. in a very short time frame they would be able and willing to help us find a temporary short term rental. Luck was ours when Nelson answered the phone. He was phenomenal!! We have relocated many times over the years and realtors with many more years of experience than Nelson could not have surpassed his customer service. He went beyond in his efforts to give us everything we wanted, with a never say die mindset, with very little advance notice. His knowledge of the area and desire to share with us was amazing, approaching this assignment as part realtor, part tour guide, with patience, understanding, and a fabulous sense of humor. Perhaps, the most pleasurable part of the experience was just Nelson himself, a confident, pleasant, gentleman who made it enjoyable to be in his company. Responsive to every email, willing to go the extra mile, within 48 hours Nelson helped us secure the perfect apt. in the perfect location.

I would HIGHLY recommend Kristin Cotter to help you find the apartment of your dreams.I became extremely frustrated in my search before coming across Jacob Realty and Kristen. After looking at over 15 apartments with six different realty companies and nearly getting conned into signing on an apartment that was not the one I viewed, I was convinced that I would never find something affordable, safe, well maintained, and an easy commute to downtown Boston where I work that is also pet friendly. In one last attempt, I came across Jacob Realty and Kristin contacted me within a few hours.Kristin took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for as well as showed me around the area. She was always very responsive- responded to all of my emails, texts, and phone calls super fast and thoroughly. Also, I felt that she gave me honest and insightful feedback about potential apartments during my search, which ultimately helped me make my decision. She is very patient, kind, funny, and such a pleasure to work with! I have recommended her to many of my friends and colleagues.She truly went above and above in my search for my perfect home and I could never thank her enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Kristin for the past month or so and it has been on of the best experiences Ive ever had. She worked with us and accommodated all of our needs and requests. She was very thorough in her work and made our renting process an enjoyable experience. If youre looking for a spot in the greater Boston area I recommend using Jacob Realty.

Only about ten minutes after expressing interest in a particular apartment on an apartment search website, I received a phone call from realtor, Kristin Cotter. She was immediately happy to help my roommate and myself search for an apartment that evening, and clearly listened very carefully to our criterion when choosing which apartments to show us. Her laid back and friendly attitude made us feel immediately comfortable and the process very enjoyable. We found the perfect apartment that night. Kristine is an exceptional realtor who clearly values her customers and has a remarkable ability to connect, listen and thus guide her customers to the best homes for their particular needs. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a place in the Boston area!

I recently worked with Jacob Realtys Kristin Cotter for my relocation to Boston. Being unfamiliar with the city, I had no idea where to start. When I spoke with Kristin she was so extremely helpful! She really took the time to understand what I was looking for in an apartment and a community. Because one of the most important things to me was the commute time to my office, Kristin made sure to include these times in the listings she sent to me via email. Then, when I traveled to Boston to view apartments she printed maps and marked the route to my work. While we were driving to view the apartments, she showed me around the city and answered all of my questions! In the end, she found me exactly what I was looking for and made my relocation easy and worry free. I felt that Kristin went above and beyond for me and I would highly recommend her anyone looking for an efficient and personable agent !!

I worked with Michael Madison at Jacob Realty and would highly recommend him. I was on a very tight time frame as I flew from Hawaii to apartment hunt for two days. I gave Mike a list of parameters including location and amenities and he was able to show me over 10 apartments in one day. He even took measurements of the apartment for me after I had left. He is very professional and prompt with all communication. I would give him 5 stars!

I had the pleasure of working with Harry Hardman at Jacob realty when it came to renting out my condo. Harry was excellent. The man is very thorough and to put it simply gets the job done. He is on top on things, efficient, and very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate/renting in the Boston Metro area. I have no doubt that I will work with Harry and Jacob Realty when the time comes to rent my unit again.

Toby Boice is the guy to call if youre looking to work with an honest, diligent, and dedicated realtor. My wife and I only had two days to find a place, we are living in Chicago relocating to Boston, and Toby lined up several options and we found our dream place. From start to finish Toby made sure we had all of the information/pictures we needed and was incredibly easy to work with; the process was simple because of Toby. If you call Toby, you can erase the stress from your mind because he will make sure you get a place you are looking for and quickly. I HIGHLY recommend Toby to anyone who is looking for a place in Boston. Thanks again Toby!

Jacob Realty was truly the best part of our move. We worked with Dylan Hedmark and he couldn’t have been better to work with. We were moving during a tough time of year (February) and there weren’t many options out there for 3 bedrooms. Dylan bent over backwards for my roommates and I to find us the best place within our budget. He got a great grasp on our likes and dislikes and wasn’t trying to sell us on anything he didn’t see fitting for us. I would definitely recommend Jacob Realty (and Dylan) to anyone looking for the best in Boston!

Letizia Dutra was the broker who helped me find a studio in Boston while I could not be there myself. She was very passionate about her work in that she was efficient and accurate in communication. She was very diligent in helping me go through every little details in the process of studio hunting, application, securing, and lease signing. Along the way, when difficulties occur, she offered helpful advice through not just a professional brokers standpoint, but also as a caring friends view. I appreciate that she was the one that I worked with and hopefully, we will continue to cross paths in the future.

Kristen at Jacob Realty is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. From the very beginning, even when we ran into some trouble with losing out on a few apartments we liked, Kristen made it clear she was determined to help us find the perfect place. Later on, when we ran into lots of issues moving-in, Kristen spent lots of her own time helping me and my roommate figure everything out and have a very smooth move-in. She is the most helpful, kind and efficient realtor youll find around here! I would refer her to anyone I know looking for a place in the Boston area, shes the best!

From beginning to end, working with Jacob Realty was an easy going and enjoyable experience. My husband and I found our house with our agent Jason Johnson after having only seen 3 other properties prior. Each of those properties were very closely matched to our criteria, its just this fourth one was spot on! Jason really listened to our wish lists and that made this process quicker than we had anticipated. All the steps after we found our place were explained and we felt organized and ready for each step in the process. We ran into a few snags which were smoothed out within a few hours, and everything happened in a professional and efficient manner. Jason was on time for every viewing or meeting we had, and made himself available to answer our questions, even during off hours. His commitment to finding something we liked was obvious, and were grateful to him for having helped us in this process as first time homeowners! Thanks Jason Johnson and Jacob Realty.

This past January, my friend Christina and I were out looking for apartments on Beacon Hill. With the extraordinary help of Jesse Fifield at Jacob Realty we are, as of Feb. 1, living in a wonderful apartment right in the heart of historic Beacon Hill.We couldnt be more pleased with the help Jesse provided us. Perhaps most important, he was ALWAYS available when we needed him - picking up his phone to answer every little question either of us had, and being available to show us our future apartment not once, not twice, but THREE times before we finally signed the papers.(Note: The second time he showed us the place my mom tagged along, and Jesse did an excellent job conversing with her, and making sure all her questions were answered as well.)Additionally, Christina and I were both looking for someone to sublet our old apartments, in hopes of making it possible for us to move in to a new place quickly. Jesse reached out through his company to people who might be looking for places. We were each able to find people, however, having a realtor offer to help us out seemed to be Jesse going above and beyond! He also made it possible, through speaking with our new landlord, for Christina and me to move in a day early by coming by with the master keys - the first snowstorm of the winter was coming in over the weekend and we needed to get some big furniture in.In essence, Jesse could not have been more helpful throughout the entire process. Christina and I were really nervous about all the pieces fitting together. Jesse was able to provide assistance each step of the way, often times nicely answering questions he had already answered half a dozen times. This experience was one that could have been incredibly stressful, and Christina and I could still be looking for a place if Jesse hadnt been as invested as he was in getting us our dream apartment - and making the process as easy as possible. Thanks so much, Jesse!

My two roommates and I worked with Alisha Karush in order to find our apartment on Mission Hill. We gave her specifications for location and money, and she managed to help us find a great apartment that we really like. Part of the process involved looking at various apartments around that area of Boston, and Alisha drove us around for longer than was planned until we found an apartment that we really liked. That apartment ended up getting leased out while we were deciding on it, so we ended up going with our second choice. Alisha helped us lock our apartment down, and we are very excited to move into it September 1st. The office on Newbury is very nice, and they did a good job of explaining the lease and payments, as my roommates and I are first-time renters. I would definitely recommend their services, especially if you are a first-time renter looking for a specific kind of apartment.

As a landlord, I wanted to say how great the experience was working with Jacob Realty. They were helpful, with a good understanding of the neighborhood and the marketplace. They had a staff that cared about finding the right people. Kristin Cotter was willing to go out of her way to find someone. She never gave up and pushed until she found the right people and at a fair price. I really appreciate the dedication and it made me feel well cared for. I will definitely be talking to them the next time I have an apartment available.

I called Jacob Realty the day I arrived in Boston (moving from London) - was immediately put in touch with a fantastic realtor, Kristin - who quickly found the perfect place for me. She worked around my work schedule and listened to my feedback on viewings to really understand what I was looking for. Couldnt have been more helpful - thank you Kristin!!

The professionalism behind this team is pretty incredible. I am able to contact them and any time to see how my properties are doing. I love that the company is provides full-service so if I am decide to sell my properties, or buy more I don’t have to go anywhere else. They already know my properties and have them on file. You can’t find a company that does it all, and does it successful at their level either.

My family and I cant thank enough Jonathan Rayo, our rental agent from Jacob Realty. He got us quickly a great deal, on a beautiful condo in Cambridge. he was beyond to explain every step of the process to rent a condo, from the paperwork we needed to the term of lease. Jonathan was always available to assist us and answer our questions. He was very patient and friendly.Also he is very professional and very knowledgeable on the rental market. He really wants the best for his clients.We will be happy to use him again, because we know very well which agent we are going with.We could not recommend him strongly enough.

Dylan Hedmark from Jacob Realty did a really fantastic job finding the perfect apartment at the perfect cost. He worked to get my roommates and I the best deal that he could, and made the entire signing/leasing/ move-in process much easier. He also ensured that after move-in, we were satisfied with the transition, and that the apartment was up to par. For affordable South Boston housing, he is the guy for the job.

I just moved to Boston and needed an apartment starting immediately. Nicole Yoshikane was able to find me several great last-minute options, and helped to get the landlord to negotiate a better price. She was extremely helpful in answering all of my questions and getting my documents in order quickly and painlessly. I was able to see the apartment, put in an application and sign the lease within just two days. I had a great overall experience with Jacob Realty and with Nicole in particular, and would highly recommend anyone looking for a place in Boston to give her a call.
