Unfortunately, I signed my lease before I realized how unprofessional this business was. Our realtor constantly feeds us false information (costs, move in/out dates, amenities, etc) and she is extremely unreliable. They don't respond to emails and they handle things very poorly. I would NOT recommend.

  I'm a little confused and disappointed that others on this page have given Harvard Ave Realty such poor reviews. In my experience this agency is as good as it gets. I came to Boston University last summer to take some summer classes - also Boston has been on my list of places to visit for some time. Harvard Ave Realty was incredibly helpful and accommodating in my search for a short term rental for the summer. What I appreciated the most was that this whole process was entirely last minute and yet they still managed to help me find a great apartment close to campus - and within my budget! I would highly recommend Harvard Ave Realty to anyone searching for an apartment in the Boston area. 5 stars!

  I had a great experience working with David. He was on time for my appointment and even stayed a little later than he normally does to show me a place and accommodate my schedule. He was honest about both apartments that he showed me, both the positive and potential downside, but I loved one and ended up signing a lease that night. I was lucky because the building works exclusively with him. He wasn't pushy like most other realtors that I've dealt with. It was a really pleasant process, and I will be recommending him to anyone that needs a realtor.

  One star is too much for this business. I replied to a posting on Craigslist.com and Susan DeLeo called me. When I told her I was a grad student without a co-signer, she hung up on me. This by fat has been the most unprofessional behavior I've dealt with. These people want an arm and a leg for sub par apts.

F.Y.I - if you didn't abruptly hang up on me I was going to tell you that I would be paying a year'a rent upfront in full.

  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.
