Dishonesty will come eventually – I like to echo the comment about dishonesty. Although being an agent is a tough job and require some flexibility, my experience with them has been very unpleasant. My calls were often ignored and when I was on vacation, certain actions were taken without my consent or best interest. I would stay away from these guys like a plague.

Michael Pallares Did It All – Michael helped me find a lovely new townhouse condo, despite the extremely limited window I had with which to find a home to buy. Michael responded immediately to my initial inquiry, we spoke soon thereafter and he "got" what it was I needed and wanted, then he emailed potential properties for me to consider more quickly than I would have thought possible. When I flew into town he met me at the airport, with water and snacks at the ready. Because of my time constraints and other demands, this co... read more

Work with Michael Pallares @ Metro – I recently purchased a condo with the help of Michael Pallares at Metro Realty. His expertise, professionalism, knowledge, and experience were clear from the first day I met with him. Michael took the time to listen to what I wanted in a property and select the ones that fit my description. The first day we met to look at condos, Michael took extra time (about a half hour) to sit with me and talk me through the process of looking for, financing, purchasing, and closing on a new home. Bein... read more

I liked using Metro Realty. Josh was very helpful and professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking for apartments in Boston. They have been the best company to work with so far, and I have previously used First Choice Realty, NextGen Realty, Jacob Realty and Modern Realty and have had a least a few problems with each. Metro was professional and caused no problems and helped us move in within a week. Use them or get screwed over...

Easiest move ever! – I had been looking for apartments online and was having no luck so I decided to go with a broker. I found Metro Realty on city search and decided to give it a try. It was the best decision I could have made. I found the apartment of my dreams just after seeing one other apartment. The staff at Metro Realty have a good read on their clients and can quickly tell what they are looking for. Also, the staff at Metro are extremely friendly and accommodating. They will stay late or come early to show you your a... read more

Call Cari at Metro Realty if you are looking for a new place to live – For people familiar with finding an apartment in the Boston area, you know the process of seeing the same bad apartments over and over again with the often shady and pushy real estate agent you can't wait to get away from. This is why when I decided to move to Brookline, I was so happy to find Cari at Metro Realty. She was very professional and personable, asked me the right questions to narrow down what I was looking for and showed me the kind of apartme... read more

Definitely call Metro Realty first – I planned to move here from Michigan after Law School and needed a place to live. I had an 120 lb Mastiff and a cat and we all needed a place to live in Brookline ... one week after finals ended. Everyone told me I'd never find a nice place with my pets. I called Metro Realty and was in a Brand New apartment, in a totally pet friendly building in three days. I then moved years later and called them again. They found me a place on the 7th floor of a high rise on Beacon ... with parking ...... read more

Worst Realors I've ever had to deal with - AVOID – There is one realtor who I've recently had to deal with here who has acted rashly, dishonestly, unfairly, and vindictively. I would be wary of any dealings with this particular person and the firm in general. I was not a client of the firm, but they were helping to fill an apartment I'd recently vacated. They acted without my permission in advertising the incentives I was willing to offer to new tenants. This person wrote a vindictive note about me to the landlord which was ... read more

Susan Carroll is terrific – Susan Carroll at Metro Realty is a terrific agent. She's a pleasure to work with - professional, calm, funny and was on top of every step of the process. We had to move out-of-state before our house was sold, and I felt reassured knowing that Susan was taking care of things on the Boston end. She did a wonderful job steering us through what can be an incredibly stressful experience. I would highly recommend Susan Carroll and Metro Realty.
