I had a fantastic experience with this realty! David helped me find the condo of my dreams and I am forever grateful to him and his team. He had great insight, knew the area extremely well and took the time to show me many different options. When the time came to negotiate the price David made every effort to get me the best deal possible. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable.
I would definitely use this realty again in the future and have told many of my friends and coworkers about the great experience I had!

  I had the opportunity to work with Orit and I had a great experience. I can't say enough good things about Orit that haven't been said before -- the reviews are great because Orit is great! Next time I move, she will be the first agent I call.

  I never thought I would deal with such a horrible and dishonest realty. It was my first time dealing with brokers in Boston and I had no experience.  The mistakes they made are uncountable. They deposited my money into the landlord's account before the deal went into fruition. They didn't give me any receipt and thought photocopying cash was an acceptable receipt. They modified the address and broker fee on the brokerage disclosure form after we signed the paper. They kept pushing for the deal to happen although it was clearly a complicated situation that we needed to walk away from. They didn't give us the addendum till lease signing day and then blamed us for not taking the house because the realtor worked so hard and they kept demanding their broker fee even though we ended up without a house and even though only 2 of the 4 people signed the broker fee agreement which clearly sated that: all prospective tenants must sign prior to moving forward with the application. when I went to get my money back, they didn't give me all of it, and David, the owner, was very rude to me and treated me disrespectfully and charged me a $200 application fee though only 2 people signed the applications. I am still in the process of the dealing with the landlord to get my money back. All of this wouldn't have happened had they been professional and ethical.

  My two roommates and I had a great experience with Maurika. Seems like the one-star reviews concern other realtors, so I'd recommend asking for her when you call! My two roommates and I got a really cute and affordable 2-bed with a roof deck through Harvard Ave.

Maurika was very flexible with timing, and organized both a viewing and a lease signing after work hours, making it really convenient for us. She put us in contact with the current tenants, and we were able to negotiate over taking some of their furniture. She also helped us negotiate with the landlord about having an extra roommate when he originally only wanted to rent to two people. Additionally, she gave us her phone number and was happy to take calls outside of work hours. Maurika was able to meet us right at the apartment to get the keys instead of the office.

The only issues we had were that we only got one set of keys, which was inconvenient, and we weren't entirely solid about move-in time until the day before. It was a Sept. 1 move, though, so that's how those things go. Anyway, that's why Harvard Ave is 4, not 5, stars.

Overall a great experience! Would definitely work with Maurika again for housing in Brookline/Allston.

  Definitely the best real estate office in all of Boston!!!!! I've rented my apts in the past through other offices but I have to eat say, Harvard Ave Realty had the best customer service and made my apt hunt fast and easy !!

I rented my apt through David who was very friendly and helpful. The other employees in the office were also very friendly Everytime I've been in the office.
