I worked with Calvin Ma, and his professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication were amazing! The first time we met he asked for a list of priorities in places so that he could find apartments that best suited us. Each listing he sent over fit to our requirements and he would always respond in a timely manner. He even went above and beyond to get us tours from unresponsive tenants and owners. Highly recommend!

Working with Andy to find a suitable apartment was the best! I was quite stressed as I had to move from overseas to Boston (a city which I’ve never lived in before) and Andy made sure to answer all my questions in a moments time and made the transition as smooth as possible. He always told us up front if there was ever a situation that needed to be solved and helped and supported my roommate and I throughout the entire process. It was truly great to work with him! 100% recommend

I responded to an ad on Facebook Marketplace and Gabriella from Mark Roos got in touch. Gabriella was super responsive, professional, and gave me an array of options to choose from that all fit my criteria. I feel like a lot of agents will stretch your criteria and offer you places 100-200 above your budget, but Gabriella never did that. She was able to set up a series of tours for me so I could see a bunch of places all in a single afternoon. I ended up applying later that night (tonight) and shes continued to assist me through the application process. I definitely recommend Gabriella if you contact this agency directly. Shes great!

We worked with Calvin Ma and it was a great experience! Not only did he answer any questions extremely quickly, he was very communicative and went above and beyond to keep us in the loop about our application. We wanted to make sure that we had all the necessary paperwork, and Calvin was able to get anything we needed to us almost instantly. Would recommend working with him!

I worked with Calvin Ma, whom I found to be incredibly professional and highly responsive. He went above and beyond to find units that met my needs, responded nearly instantaneously every time I needed something from him, aggressively followed up with flaky owners, and overall made the entire process a breeze. I could not recommend him more highly.

JC Gallego, of Marc Roos Realty, helped us find the perfect off-campus apartment for our son who is attending college in Boston this fall. Gratitude doesn’t seem like enough of a word to describe our appreciation for the guidance and above and beyond service we received working with JC. From day one he sent us targeted listings and even filmed a walk-through video of the apartment we were interested in (as we weren’t able to travel to visit the property). He was very responsive with any questions throughout the entire rental process. I highly recommend working with JC on any Boston rental or home needs.

My fiancé and I are so happy with the apartment that Andy helped us find! From start to finish, Andy was responsive, happy to communicate at any time of day, and extremely pleasant. Having that personal connection with your broker feels like such a rare find, and we couldn’t have imagined this process would go any smoother. Thank you so much for helping us find our dream apartment, Andy!

We had the best experience with finding apartment with the broker Andy Chao here! He showed us the apartments exactly suited for our needs and the only concern we had is which of the suggested to choose since both seemed extremely attractive for us and competitive. As for timeline: on Saturday we at first saw the apartments, on Sunday we started an application process in office, on Tuesday we were approved, next day we signed lease agreement and finally received keys on Sunday, so it took 8 days for the whole process of obtaining apartments. Wonderfully, thank you very much!

I meet with Gabriella R. mid 2019 in regards to an apartment rental .I found her knowledge and guidance of the local rental market excellent.We started to talk about purchase opportunity in the area and again her knowledge of the market was excellent . I look forward to working with her in the future.Robert N.November 2019.

Gaby was my Realtor for two years when Ive been finding apartments in Boston. Not only does she always find the perfect fit but their database is very large and gives you many options. She is very knowledgeable in the field, and has always been a help to me whenever I have a question even after Ive signed the lease. I will definitely continuing working with Gaby in my future!:)

I worked with Latania Knights at Marc Roos Realty and she went above and beyond. Shes an absolute joy to work with, listened intently to what I was looking for in an apartment, and was willing to spend the time it took to see all the options and help me make a decision. She even took time out of her day to support me through the apartment interview process! She was a fantastic advocate for me and I believe I found the perfect place because of her.

Andy Chao was our agent!Hes very responsive and takes good care of his clients. He addressed all our concerns and questions before we finalized our apartment.He was also very accommodating and patient enough to show the same apartment multiple times before we could confirm.Hes definitely the best agent you can work with if not the realty. I strongly recommend to work with him to find your dream apartment!Dont get deceived by his young looks, he knows what he is doing.

Stay away from this dishonest company unless you like to be yelled and cheated. Their agent, Catherine Park, teaches me a big lesson: once you have signed the lease and paid the one-month deposit to them, they can do whatever they want to you. People wont bother to hire a lawyer to sue them for a few hundred dollars. The unscrupulous agents know this very well and try to take full advantage of it.Mrs Park is not only irresponsible and bossy but also dishonest. During my term of lease, she enjoyed to tell us what to do by threatening with deducting our deposit. In addition, she basically ignored ALL my requests for maintenance and unblushingly told me the issue is not a life-threatening matter. What is even more ridiculous is she deducted my deposit for the item she did not fix. As we had disagreement with her, she yelled at me like a psycho. And she promised us some benefits before signing the lease but broke it at the end... Anyway, learn from my lesson and keep away from this company and the agent.

Latania was kind, professional, helpful, and super easy to communicate with. She helped us through not only the lease negotiation and signing but also helped resolve a communication with our landlord after we had moved in. She checked in on us throughout the moving process and we could tell she really cared about us. Would definitely work with her again!

Cannot say a bad word about these people. We dealt with Latania and she is an absolute saint. She found us a place in less than 48 hours. We were really stuck and she did everything she could for us. I cannot recommend Marc Roos Realty more. These people are experts in what they do.

We worked with Andy Chao to find an apartment for our daughter and he was simply awesome. Well organized - very informative - very professional. He really listened to what we were looking for and did a great deal of research for us. Thank you Andy for all of your help! We look forward to working with you again on our next search!

Andy is an awesome broker to work with at this agency! Smart, knows his stuff, down to earth. It can be hard to find someone who feels both genuinely honest and interested in helping you find a place, but Andy really is that. Highly recommend working with him - skip the sketch brokers :)

This realty company just listed my property as theirs on zillow and didnt ask my permission. How are they going to show it? Ive called and no one answers. I sent a request through zillow. Are you kidding me people? Search your souls, does this seem ok? Other realtors have asked. Id give 0 stars if I could.

Andy Chao is the best! He is very honest and attentive, and will try to get you the best price for the apartment you’re looking for! A couple of hours before our first apartment showing, he texted me (a complete stranger) to tell me truthfully how small the apartment is after he saw it for the first time himself. After that showing, he listened to what my roommate and I were looking for in an apartment and our price range. The next day, he emailed me a four different listings. Then he followed through with my request to see all of the viewings in one day. When my roommate and I saw the apartment we liked, he offered to help us get a lower price for the place. Andy always has your best interests at heart, he’s great!

Andy Chao helped my room mates and I find a great place to live.

Andy Chao was my broker and he was very helpful! Super quick to respond to any messages, even during non-business hours, and set up places to visit. He was also pretty realistic and straightforward, which was an awesome plus. I would definitely talk to him again if I was looking for a new place.

Andy Chao helped us find an amazing place. I never had a chance to meet him in person because my roommates did most of the hard work but he has been very helpful with the whole process, always available to answer any queries. He is very clear about everything with the lease policies and no hidden costs.I highly recommend Andy Chao for finding you a suitable place.

Andy Chao was incredibly helpful in finding an apartment for me and my roommates. He was always on top of sending us new listings when they were posted and was very flexible when arranging showings, making sure to take what we liked and didnt like into account when looking for more listings. Ive worked with a handful of realtors in past when looking for my last apartment and Andy exceeded them all.

This wasnt my first time renting, but Ive never had as good of an experience as I did with Andy Chao. From the start it was clear to see that Andy took his job seriously and did everything he could to help me find my ideal place. He even hand delivered the lease to me! I would recommend Andy Chao to a friend 12 times out of 10.

I rang Marc Roos Realty after arriving in Boston with no accommodation, Latania A Knights was the agent who got in touch with me. She rang me Monday and I was signing my lease and moved in by Thursday. Our order was not an easy one being for a short three months but Latania worked so hard to find viable options for us and truly fought our corner throughout. She was diligent and committed to finding the best and most fair option for us. She kept me informed throughout and was such a help during a very stressful time. Latania delivered both a personable and professional service to my friends and I, I am deeply grateful to her and the agency.

We had a great experience working with Andy Chao. He responded promptly to every question/request we asked of him, no matter what time of day (even on the weekend!). He scheduled us to look at our desired apartment right away and facilitated everything on the business end in a quick, professional manner. At the same time, he was incredibly friendly and approachable. One of the most helpful realtors Ive ever worked with. Highly recommended!

Marc Roos Realty helped my colleague find a room in one of their own properties (they are both landlord as well as broker) for a three month stay. At the end of the stay the property did not return my colleagues security deposit, claiming that my friend didnt give sufficient notice before her move out date. The lease was a fixed term 3 month lease, the move out date had been known from the beginning. So this claim was bogus and a (successful) attempt to con my colleague out of the security deposit. My colleague is on her flight back to her country and I cannot take Marc Roos to small claim court because it is not my case, brilliant!I have tried to reach help my colleague to receive her deposit back. The office at MRR just tells me that Marc is the boss, he is not in the office, I dont know when he gets back, please give me your information and he will call you back. There is nothing I can do for you. Of course, Marc didnt call.

Review №49

Worked specifically with Linda R. She was unprofessional, unorganized, confrontational and made claims that she could get deals when she actually ended up costing us more. The process was long and confusing and annoying. Very happy we were able to pull out of our rental application with her and the company. With the plethora of agents available in Boston, would stay away from this one.Edit in response to their response to me:lindas apartment listing had the price at 3500$. We told her upfront we had three people potentially moving in and she said they wanted to move it fast so shed get it to us for $3400. She was unable to get that discount and in fact came back to us that it was going to be 100$ more a month than what was listed and what we initially signed paperwork for. We repeatedly woke up to emails in ALL CAPS from linda, who was unable to comprehend that Zelle was not an acceptable delivery of funds through our respective banks. Your response perfectly embodies how poor your customer service is as a group.Your copy of my email response, which I believe you thought was a GOTCHA! moment is futile. yes, I did not provide you with the appropriate documentation, which allowed us to not have to do further business with you.

While I didnt find a place with Marc Roos Realty (though it was a very close call), I can say they were extremely professional and the realtor I worked with, Andy, was determined to find a new place for my friend and I. Andy stayed in close contact about new places and was sensitive to our needs the entire time; he maintained a flexible schedule and was the best realtor Ive worked with so far.

Agent of this agency will break in and show your apartment without any notice (which is obviously illegal) and refuse to leave until you call the police.Yes I just called police and considering sue the agent and his clients. If you do not want to get in trouble, avoid this realty agency.

Beware of Andy Chao! He gave us the wrong apartment and try to avoid helping us. Worst guy to talk to and he is just unacceptable. Try someone else or some other places because this is not the place you want to go.Andy Zhang was very rude and he does not even have a permission to do any kind of deal except through his boss. If you see him posting houses or apartments make sure you avoid calling him.

No one like surprise fees. this is what I got upon me when I was told that if a payment done in a particular way, it would have no extra charge. I came in the next day and they charged me $50 extra. And I couldnt get the check until I paid that amount.Wow.
