Century 21 Avon

We spoke to 4 Realtors before we met, Brett. His presentation stood out from the rest, and as this was our first time selling he offered us an abundance of knowledge that would take time to research and learn. He made our family feel comfortable and relaxed from the start when we chose him to help us sell our property. Brett, was organized, punctual, personable, alert, responsible, helpful and gave us the best advice to make things smooth and efficient for everyone. We were out of state during the whole process so initially we thought it wouldn't be as easy. I was wrong! Brett, was on top of everything and communicated clearly with us with any issues or updates that came up. There were some obstacles along the way that we couldn't avoid, but he handled them extremely well. Better than we expected! In the end Brett met our needs, and he delivered for us. We were more than happy with his performance! Brett, is great at his craft and I would call him in the future if I needed his services again. Hands down I will recommend Brett to anyone looking for a Realtor. Brett, is an elite Real Estate agent. Thanks again, Brett!

These guys were very helpful--by far the most resourceful and responsive agency I used, when I was looking for a one-year rental in the Cambridge area. I worked with Paul, and he provided me with the most promising rental listings in the area, he was very patient with my unusual and difficult requests especially regarding helping me find a place that was pet-friendly!. Even more helpful than all that, though, was that he was very generous with his time--he took the time to really discuss what my wife and I were looking for, he spent a lot of time showing me around Cambridge and Somerville, and was very good a following up. Over the few days that I worked with him, Paul gave me a lot of very useful background information on the area, which was extremely helpful in reaching our final decision about where to rent. In addition to all that, I never felt that Paul or Century 21 gave me the "hard sell"--they were very patient and willing to help me find the place that would be the best fit.

I worked with Anna, and while she was very nice, she failed at listening to our requirements. First apartment Anna showed was nice but $300 over our budget. Next two apartments were in apartment buildings which I said we'd prefer to avoid, with tiny prison-like windows bright was one of our top asks, and one of the apartments had carpeting we asked for hardwood. All in all, considering that I only had 3 days to find a place, my time would have been better spent elsewhere.

This is cross-posted from my Yelp review: If you're in the Cambridge area and looking for a great agency for rentals--go to Century 21 Avon. Ask for Paul Raymond. You will not be disappointed. I was moving to the Boston area on a very short timeline; I had two weeks to get here from Arizona as I was starting a new job in the beginning of July. I had spent a lot of time on Craigslist and in contact with various agents across Cambridge and the Boston area while still in Arizona but had never been able to find something that really suited me or any realtors who seemed interested in helping me find a place to live in. A few even told me up front that what I wanted move in July 1st, within a fixed budget, near the red line, not on the first floor, etc. didn't exist and wasn't possible. It was awful and made my anxiety about trying to get into a place even worse. On my first day here in Cambridge, I started calling different agencies that I found through MIT's realty listings and Century 21 Avon was the first one that answered my phone call and was willing to meet my needs. I was connected to Paul who listened to my story and met with me on the same day--literally a few hours later--to show me five different properties within my price range and in beautiful areas of the city that I could move into right away. All of them were absolutely wonderful properties I could have seen myself living in easily--it was hard to pick a favorite! He provided great information about the surrounding areas, local amenities, and about the landlords and owners of the various properties he showed me and was incredibly thorough and transparent about the whole rental process. He was incredibly responsive and great about following up with information, never pressured me into signing a lease or trying to get into a place, and was very respectful of my needs to discuss my thoughts with family before I made a set decision. This was my first apartment and he worked very hard to make sure I got it, even without having a prior rental history, and I had signed the lease and had keys in hand in just two days. Amazing! I am so happy to have had his help through this process and I couldn't possibly be happier about where I'm living now in a gorgeous, historic building near Harvard. I wish I could give Century 21 Avon a higher score! I am so thankful to Paul for his help and I highly, highly recommend him. Don't waste your time elsewhere--if you need something in Cambridge, call Paul!

ZERO stars. HAMID--- Rude,Unprofessional. Would never give them my business.
