Metro Realty Corp Reviews

Samantha did a wonderful job finding us a new apartment rental in Brookline. She was professional, communicated promptly and effectively, and thoughtful in looking for other units when the first one wasn’t the right fit. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend working with Ryan McCormick and his team at Metro Realty Corp. We own a condo in Washington Sq. and over the years they have matched us with great tenants. Ryan has always been professional, courteous, and available to answer any questions and share his expertise in the local rental market and property management. Working with Ryan and his team has made it so much easier to connect with good tenants who are looking for a new apartment to rent.

My husband and I first started working with Adam Umina of Metro Reality in 2004 when he helped us find our first apartment we ever purchased. Over the last 20 years, Adam has helped us rent the apartment several times. His team helped us find contractors, electricians and anything we needed to make updates. Adam Umina and his team at Metro are amazing and we fully trust them with all of our real estate needs in the Brookline/Boston area.

Just started a new lease and Gracie from Metro Realty made the whole process extremely smooth. She went far above the help I am used to getting and was so friendly and easy to talk with. She was very responsive and helpful with answering all my questions, it made the whole experience much less stressful. Would highly recommend!

Samantha was super helpful in finding me a great unit next to Boston College! Very smooth and easy process. 10/10 would recommend.

Tried to get me to pay a background check fee. Tried to get me to pay an application deposit (see Mass.gov and Boston.gov tenant rights guidelines). Agent was incredibly rude and condescending when I pointed this out. Claimed he had cases to prove the contrary-- and then refused to provide them. Would refuse to have many conversations in writing, instead insisting on phone calls. Presumably because he knows what he's doing is not above board. Very condescending during apartment tours themselves as well. Steer clear if you want to have an experience guided by legality and respect. EDIT: I …

I lived in a building that changed management to metro realty corp halfway through my time there. Though beautiful, I didn’t rent a well-taken care of home. The problems that continued to pop up through my time there were only exacerbated by metro realty corp’s lackluster care to quickly deal with hazardous issues. At times they were even dismissive stating “there’s nothing they can do”. There’s also an illegal clause in their leases charging a $500 fee per each new roommate if some, like myself, part ways and find someone to take over their portion of the lease. If the remaining current roomm…

Kyleigh Gleason was wonderful to work with. Extremely kind and helpful in every way! Would recommend to anyone.

My husband and I worked with Gracie during a tough apartment search, and she was absolutely fantastic!! She was extremely attentive to our needs from day one (eg looking for a location close to work with laundry, AC, etc) and helped advocate on our behalf to multiple landlords. She was incredibly patient with us and showed us 4+ apartments during the search process without ever missing a beat. Even when we almost signed with a private landlord, she was supportive and never pressured us to make a decision. We ended up coming back to her because she is so efficient, organized, and makes deals ha…

Jay from Metro realty, what can I say? He kept it 100% all the time. Best Realtor in the Boston and Cambridge area! He was reliable and calm through the process of navigating the hectic greater Boston housing market. He was consist and on time to his showings. He never pressured me to move or rushed me to make the wrong choice. He listened and validated my concerns about safety and the Boston trademarked slanted top floor units. He was funny but took the job seriously, he connected me with the right folks and helped me talk through my thinking as I looked for my first solo apartment in Boston.…

We had a lovely experience renting with Kyleigh as our agent! She was very kind and accommodating, helping us find a very lovely place that fit all of our requirements! She was incredibly attentive and always quick to find an answer for anything, we would definitely love to work with her again in the future!

Kyleigh was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind while helping my roommate and I find our new apartment and iron out the details. She was quick to communicate and answered all of our questions well; for those questions she couldn't answer she was very up front and would look for an answer for us. She was very accommodating and truly addressed our specific needs regarding price, location, and other must-haves while liaising with the landlords. I have previously rented through Metro Realty and both times now I have been impressed and appreciative of the dedication, information, and spiri…

I had an amazing experience working with Hazel on finding an apartment for me and my sister. She was very responsive and made the process so fast and easy for us. We now have a beautiful 2bed apartment in Brookline thanks to her! I 100% would recommend Hazel as your realtor for finding your next home!

Gracie Winn was an absolute delight to work with, she found us a place that exceeded expectations. We had a long list of items and short time frames, all were met. I highly recommend Grace and Metro Realty. They will help you your Boston home:)

Nathan was very helpful finding my place. Was always keeping me posted on new opportunities that finally made me decide, so glad I was able to meet him

Nathan Spielvogel has been really helpful for finding a unit in Boston. The first time I came in contact with him, in October 2024, he didn’t hesitate tu help out someone from outside the US find a place in Boston. I have recently moved in a unit the he found for me and it’s the second time he has come through with a wonderful match. I recommend him to anyone who is trying to find a place in the Boston area, in fact always has been open to help out any of my acquaintances that have reached out to him. Thanks Nathan! You’re the best!

Adam was very on top of everything and had a wonderful attitude!

Adam is professional and reliable to take care his customers. He understands the customer what they need and works very hard to get it done. I am very happy to work with him.

I had such a great experience working with Kyleigh Gleason at metro realty. She was great with communication, extremely helpful, and always answered any questions I had. If you are looking for a new home/place to live in the Boston/Brookline area, I strongly recommend choosing Kyleigh as your realtor!

Had a wonderful experience with agent Raymond Ma. Raymond consistently followed up with us regarding places we were interested or places we would potentially be interested in. He ensured to give us extensive information about each property leaving little room for questions. A great agent, highly recommend working with him or any other agents at this brokerage.

As a graduate student, the challenge of finding a good apartment in Coolidge Corner can be overwhelming. Fortunately, I had the incredible support of Paul Phillips, who made this daunting process so much easier. Paul is exceptional. His calm demeanor and lightning-fast responses were exactly what I needed during this stressful time. Whether I had questions about the lease or needed advice on the neighborhood, Paul was always there, ready to assist with genuine care and expertise. Thank you, Paul, for turning what could have been a tough search into a seamless and positive experience. Your he…

After struggling a bit with the competitive rental market in Boston, I decided to look into finding help with my search. I was lucky enough to find Gabi who was so helpful! She found me exactly what I wanted within a few days and was very accommodating for my situation. She was communicative, clear, professional and polite, as well as honest. I just signed my lease a few days ago and couldn’t be happier with my choice. Thank you Metro Realty and Gabi for your help, I can’t wait to live in my new apartment!

It was my first time looking for an accommodation in Boston. I quickly realized how tough is the renting scene in Boston. I am glad I found Samantha, a very professional and polite agent. In less then 2 days she showed me several apts and I applied for the one I am living in right now. Highly recommended.

My roommate and I were lucky to work with Nathan during our recent apartment hunt in Brookline. From start to finish, he made a typically stressful process as painless as possible, especially considering we were moving from out-of-state. He curated a group of quality listings that reflected what we were looking for in an apartment, thoughtfully considering our priorities and must-haves. He coordinated an afternoon of showings, getting us into all the places we wanted to see on short notice when we were in town for only a few days, and shared his extensive knowledge on the area. Nathan advocate…

Jay was my realtor back in August 2023 and I cannot recommend him enough. He was thorough, kind, responsive, and never pushed me into anything I didn't like. He was flexible with what he showed me and really listened to me about deal breakers. Ask for him every time!

Had a great experience working with Paul Phillips. We were able to view listings in a timely fashion and found our dream apartment! Overall, Paul provided a convenient and easy experience. Would definitely work with him again.
