Benoit Real Estate

I have been working with Jay Ellis at Benoit to try to find an apartment the last couple of weeks. As you can imagine, trying to find a reasonably priced apartment in the middle of winter is no small feat, but Jay was very attentive from the start and came up with some great options right away. Jay went out of his way to find us the right place; he even got the keys to an apartment and drove back 10 minutes after our initial showing to show me an additional place at almost 8:00pm. Jay has kept in touch throughout the process, and always answers right away whenever I have questions or concerns. He’s made himself available for showings later in the evening and on the weekend, and has been incredibly flexible with my busy work schedule. Oftentimes realtors seem like they are trying to make a quick buck off of you, but Jay was genuinely invested in finding me the right apartment. Thanks to Jay’s determination and attention to detail, I have found my dream apartment! Definitely work with Benoit if you’re in the market for an apartment, you’ll feel like your money is being well spent!

Craig and his team were great. I am a first time landlord, and a nervous one at that. Within a few days of me calling to get information on listing my place with Benoit, Craig came out to the unit, took pictures, and asked questions about the unit the building, and the other people in the building. He and his team found nice, professional tenants about a week after the ad was posted. Once we approved the application, they did all of the paperwork within 24 hours. They were professional, and easy to work with.

this review is for Len. was in in the area for a couple days looking for housing. Len was able to show me a davis square apt that had just been put on market, was able to meet the landlord and sign lease on same day. very satisfied with the process thanks to Len.

This review is for Michael Merullo at Benoit. From the very moment I walked into Benoit Realty after working with 5 realtors in 3 days, Michael assured me I was dealing with a professional. He asks all the right questions, pays attention to details, is available after hours, and goes the extra mile to relieve the stress of finding a place to live. I highly recommend working with him, and with Benoit in Davis!

Gerard Contaldi was extremely helpful in finding a place to live in Somerville. He emailed me almost immediately after I bookmarked several locations on Benoit’s website and when I went into town to find a place to lease he got me an amazing deal right away. He was helpful and responsive throughout the process and I would highly recommend him.

This review is specifically about the realtor Carlina Nabatoff at Benoit, but I can also personally recommend Justin:
I feel like the best review I could give is to say that I now feel like Carlina and I are best friends.
But I can go into detail too.
Carlina was incredibly helpful for me throughout my entire rental process. She really was the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. I started my search in late October, looking for a December 1^st move in date. Altogether they were unideal conditions for anyone to look in. She accommodated pretty much any need I could come up with during the search. We met at odd hours, she stayed late with me at the office, helped me charge my phone, took me on many multiple visits to certain locations, collected lists of apartments in my range, and always tried to find exactly what I was looking for, never pushing a house I said I wasn’t interested in.
2 months later, I’m happy in my place, and I needed her help with something. She answered me within the hour, dedicating a bunch of time to helping me out.
Best of all, she’s been super super responsive in pretty much every method she’s provided me for contacting her.
I’ve lived in 6 different rented apartments over 7 years of living in Boston. I can look at an apartment and know if I want to live there or not, but Carlina definitely helped me through the whole process too. Really fantastic. I cant say enough, but I’m probably saying too much now. Trust her.

My boyfriend and I just signed a lease in Somerville after months of searching. We met Len when we walked into Benoit this summer to talk about what was available. Months later, he remembered who we were and what we wanted. He took extra care to find us the place we needed and called us the moment it came through.
It made all the difference to work with a broker as flexible and caring as Len! We really felt like everyone was on the same team, and the whole process had such good vibes.
Hopefully, we won’t need to contact him any time soon, but if we ever move in the Boston area again, he’ll be the first guy we call. And we’ll be sure to send friends his way.
Thank you, Len!

Benoit RE was great to work with.
I worked with Shane to rent a property he personally owned and though I didn’t take the place he was very helpful and got me to see the place even while he was on vacation.
I then worked with Craig to find the place I’m in now. He was great. Way better than the multiple other agencies in the area I tried.

My wife and I were looking for an apartment around Davis square. We spent a day going between different real estate agencies. For some reason, most of the agents in other agencies greeted us with a «Why me?» look on their faces.
Benoit were different. Maria Raposo was friendly, very attentive and gave great advice and insight.
Thanks Maria!

I worked with Peggy and was more than pleased with the job she did. I had been looking for a new place for 2 months on Craigslist and contacting different agents from other websites. I was unsucessful until I came across Peggy’s contact info. As soon as I reached out to her, she was available. She was very timely in getting me in to see the apartment and we were in touch almost everyday until my lease was signed. She went above and beyond to make my search and even my move, were super easy. I would highly recommend Peggy from Benoit Real Esate to anyone who is looking for an apartment that seems impossible to find.
