Red Tree Real Estate

Great Company. My roommate and I searched for a place in Southie that allowed dogs. After having trouble with previous realtors either not responding back or showing us fake ads Stephen from Red Tree was able to find us a great place for a great deal. Also got us a 2 year Comcast deal that included all channels for a decent price. Red Tree = No brainier!

Lawson and Jerome helped us a lot with finalizing our new home. I would definitely recommend Red Tree Real Estate.
Lawson replied to every single text I sent him asking for favors and help, on time. We were also able to move in our stuff on time thanks to these guys.
Keep up the good work guys !

Hey Zach,
Have you seen our reviews? They are all 4 stars!
We don’t manage the property you rented.
Its owned by an outside landlord. Who in fact paid to paint the entire apartment.
Cut your security deposit in half and purchased you a rug to cover the rough spot in the living room floor. because he ran out of time to sand the floors.
We didn’t do everything we could to make up for the landlords poor service? of course we did!
I’m sorry, but to give us a bad post 1 year later is un-​called for. and un-​necessary.

Update: After reading my review, the owner posted the following response that I would like to address for anyone interested:

Very glad to hear that others were treated better than we were. The main issue here is not that the landlord did not live up to his end of the deal (negotiated by Benjamin Boogers without checking with the landlord prior to closing the deal) but instead is that Benjamin Z. Boogers in no uncertain terms, lied to us. We were told specifically (on the phone) that he was «standing in the apartment» and that «the floors are done» and that the «walls are painted». As you noted in your response, the floors were never sanded and the walls were never repainted. I understand your desire to place blame on the landlord, but considering that the negotiations took place between Ben and I, in addition to the fact that the conversations about the status of the apartment took place between Ben and I, AND in addition to the fact that we were NEVER given the landlord’s contact information until after we moved in (not to mention the fact that you were paid ~$ 1700 to manage this process): I find you at fault.
I am shocked that you would stoop so low as to ask the landlord to return 50% of a security deposit when the real issue is that your realtor lied to your client (me) in order to take advantage.
Thanks.
Zach
PS you make a good point about me waiting a year. I have posted on Unilocal because this is the time that many individuals move around in Boston, and I’d like to prevent as many as possible from being taken advantage of. Also, please refrain from calling me and asking me to remove my review — I have written an honest account of what happened.
I wish that you were as concerned over my apartment as you clearly are over my review.

They did a really good job for us, We will definitely recommend them…

I have been working with Jerome for rentals/​purchases well before he opened Red Tree. He is honest, HIGHLY knowledgeable, hard working, and will give it to you straight up. During my home inspection a couple years back, the inspector was very impressed about the amount of information Jerome knew.
He helped my buy my condo and also sold it after it only being on the market FOUR DAYS! No open house was even needed!
Can’t wait to find my next home with Jerome. Thank you so much J & Red Tree!

Just purchased my second condo with Arthur at Red Tree Real Estate in Boston. He and his team do a great job working with your schedule to find you great properties in the areas you are looking for. The team is great at communicating and will respond immediately to any questions you might have.
I live abroad, so my timelines were very important to me. Arthur and Max worked with me on these timelines and made sure I saw enough properties to make the right decision.

I have worked with many of the talented agents at Red Tree before they were at Red Tree. I’m happy to see that the best of the best are finally in one convenient location. Seriously, the rental and sales agents are amazing. They’re longtime Boston residents and know the market like the back of their hand. Another great business added to Coolidge Corner.
PS. the office is directly behind the Trader Joes parking lot so it’s very easy to get to!
