Review Arborview realty was exceptionally helpful throughout our move! Christian and team facilitated a smooth selling process, appropriately priced our home and we were able to sell quickly. Nate helped us with the buying aspects of our move (which was certainly a difficult transaction in this market). His attentiveness and input on our buying strategy got us into a wonderful home in our target neighborhood. Our buying process was complicated by the fact we purchased from an estate rather than an individual - Nate's responsiveness and expertise got us through and we deeply appreciated it! Overall, Arborview exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful to have had them in our corner! We enthusiastically recommend them!

Review I am a seller Jamaica Plain Massachusetts. I can't recommend these people enough. I have bought and sold at least a dozen properties in my many decades, and this was definitely the easiest transaction so far. They stay on top of everything and remind you of what you need to do to complete the transaction and if you are really lazy they will refer you to someone who will do it. They had excellent suggestions for making small changes/improvements to improve the appeal $$$ of the condo I was selling. I wanted to sell quickly and without fuss. They came up with a pricing strategy based on a snapshot of the current inventory. The marketing materials were high tech, beautiful. I received 6 offers immediately. Place sold that weekend for 8% over asking.

Review Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Christian and his team guided us expertly through the whole process from helping prepare our home for listing through closing. Extremely knowledgable about the JP market, they priced our home perfectly for quick closing above asking!

Review We worked with Christian to buy our West Roxbury home and sell our JP condo. We could not have been more pleased with Christian and his team. Christian is highly accessible, knowledgeable about the local market, and has strong relationships with other local realtors. He gave us good data-backed guidance on both our home offer and listing, while leaving the ultimate decision to us regarding pricing. He also is an excellent negotiator, resulting in a quick sale significantly above our listing price. Meredith was a fantastic partner in keeping everything on track in the listing and sale our condo. We highly recommend Christian and his team and would work with them on a future purchase and sale.

Review We worked with Nate Kirby from the Christian Iantosca team at Arborview to buy our first home, a condo in West Roxbury. We highly recommend working with Nate for multiple reasons: his extensive knowledge about the market in the area, his in-depth understanding of building construction (especially important in a market where its common to waive the inspection), and his patience (we probably viewed 50+ homes before finding the right one). He was great at clearly answering our many questions in a way that made sense to us even though we didnt know much about real estate and the home buying process. At every home we viewed, he would point out different things to consider and ask us questions that helped us figure out exactly what we wanted aEUR" and didnt want - in our home. Furthermore, he was extremely helpful and supportive in guiding us through the offer and closing processes. Nate was excellent to work with as first time homebuyers and on top of it all, he has a great sense of humor, which made a stressful endeavor much more enjoyable.

Review Since we live across the US from Boston, Christian and his team were immensely helpful in the selling of our condo. The process was seamless thanks to the diligent staff. Christian was very informative and his recommendations paid dividends to the sale. I would highly recommend Christian to anyone.

Review We worked with Christian and team to sell our condo in JP. It did not go as planned due to a global pandemic. But Christian and team stuck with us and ultimately we sold it for more than expected. Christian remained responsive and helpful guiding us along the entire process. His team is a well-oiled machine and I would trust them to sell my place again in a heartbeat.

Review I don't write many reviews, so the length of this one should give you a sense of how impressed my family and I were with Christian Iantosca's team in general and our agent Nathan Kirby in particular. We used Arborview in JP and Christian's team to buy our home a few years ago and again to sell the same in Nov-Dec 2020. Both times, their service and professionalism was exceptional. We had worked with other realtors in Cambridge, downtown Boston, and JP previously; the agents were all very helpful, but with Nathan Kirby we found the absolute right mix of structural know-how, market experience, and personality. Incidentally, Nathan was originally recommended to us by friends who had also worked him and the rest of Christian's team a few years earlier. (So, their standards clearly remain unchanged.) Our sale was complicated by a number of factors: e.g., we live abroad and were trying to sell during a Boston winter in a market already chocked by Covid-19. But Nathan and the rest of the team made the entire process as stress free as we could imagine. They coordinated with our tenants, organized repairs to make the home show-ready, arranged for online and in-person showings, and kept us abreast with weekly and, later, near-daily updates. Nathan carefully evaluated bids against market trends, suggested counter-offers, and ensured that we didn't feel pressured to sell until the price was right. Even when we ran into issues with, let's say less-than-responsible people along the way, Nathan was patient and professional but persistent; he took great pains to ensure that everything went through in a timely manner and the selling experience was a positive one. Christian Iantosca's team should be a kind of gold standard in the business. Theyre what youre looking for.

Review My wife and I had an amazing experience working with Christian Iantosca (selling our home) and Nate Kirby (buying a new house) from Arborview Realty! Christian and Nate and the rest of the team at Arborview made the whole process of buying and selling a breeze, especially the coordinated effort to get us a rent back so that we could easily move out of the old home and in to a new home all in a week. We also really appreciated their expert knowledge of the building/structural side of homes making us feel our investment was well placed. Professional, responsive and courteous, they made the whole process enjoyable rather than stressful!

Review As first time home buyers, having someone as knowledgeable as Christian in our corner gave us great comfort in our decision making process. While working with Christian, he gave us honest feedback on each of the homes we were looking at, brought a keen eye for things to watch out for, and was by our side answering any of our questions throughout the sale and closing process. I would highly recommend Christian and his team to anyone looking for a home in the Jamaica Plain area!

Review We worked with Christian on both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. We chose to work with Christian because of his deep knowledge of the Jamaica Plain real estate market. But beyond signing the contract, Christian worked with us every step of the way, from getting our listing looking great to pricing strategy and negotiating multiple offers on the sale. On the purchase side, we worked with Christian again to ensure we got the house we wanted through a challenging negotiation process. We couldn't be happier with how things worked out, and are so grateful for Christian's attention to detail, responsiveness, and incredible team (thank you, Meredith, Bill, and Nate!).

Review Christian Iantosca team was professional, communicative, and efficiently organized. Most importantly, the team worked tirelessly and seamlessly with us to sell our condo during the COVID19 pandemic. Nothing is ever a hassle for the team. They took extra precautions when necessary and were respectful of our requests during this unpredictable time. Their expertise in the local knowledge of our neighborhood was an important source of leverage in our transaction. They are simply the best. I recommend them highly without reservation.

Review I worked with Christian almost a decade ago for my first home purchase, and when it came time to sell that place and purchase my next home, I immediately reached out to Christian again. I couldn't be happier with my experience. Nate, Meredith, and Christian were all amazing. They partnered with me every step of the way in prepping my home for sale, resulting in getting significantly over asking. Then, Nate was incredibly patient while we waited for months to find exactly what we were looking for, and then helped us purchase it under that asking price. They were insightful and supportive every step of the way. I wouldn't work with anyone else if selling or buying in JP.

Review Nathan Kirby served as my Buyers Agent. Hes extremely knowledgeable, proactive, responsive, hardworking and always amiable. He made a complicated process (at the height of a global pandemic, no less) seem so easy! Not only did he help me optimize the timing and content of my offer to minimize competition and ultimately win the bid, but he also identified issues ahead of time and proposed creative solutions! For example, a broken laundry unit was identified (after the home inspection but before closing) with enough time to negotiate a credit and order a unit before move in. He worked with the listing agent to secure all required fire/co inspection certificates almost a month ahead of closing, even though a COVID-19 State Executive Order allowed the burden to be placed on the Buyer post-closing. He drilled down on diligence issues with the condo management company and persisted after weeks of its non-response to get the critical information I needed for the deal. All of that is on top of helping me identify key home inspection issues to resolve in the Purchase & Sale Agreement. He eliminated potential headaches at every turn and did so with his usual comforting smile and good nature. We closed on time even in the midst of a complicated global pandemic. I would highly recommend Nathan and the rest of the Christian Iantosca team!

Review I worked with Nathan Kirby who is part of Christian's team. Nathan helped me purchase a condo in Jamaica Plain. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and all around great guy! I am forever grateful that I got to work with Nathan on purchasing my first home. With his help, I was able to purchase a condo in Jamaica Plain for about $50k under market. With COVID-19, things were a bit crazy, but he held my hand through the process in a way where I felt well informed and taken care of.

Review Christian and his team helped my husband and I sell our condo in Jamaica Plain. We decided to go forward with the sale in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the additional hurdles that this posed, Christian handled the entire process with ease and finesse. He thoughtfully provided comps and thoroughly explained his process so that we understood and felt confident about the pricing, his team walked us through preparing our home for sale to make sure that it presented in the best way possible, and he carefully guided us through the offer and acceptance stage of the sale. There were multiple offers and we sold for over asking, which I attribute to Christian's hard work. He truly went above and beyond and I would recommend Christian in a heartbeat to anyone thinking of selling or purchasing real estate.

Review A year ago, we contacted Christian and two other realtors about an appraisal on our 2-family home in Jamaica Plain. We were very impressed with Christian's responsiveness, thoroughness in the evaluation, and clarity in presenting the details of the appraisal. All of this kept him and his team on our radar as we made plans to move cross-country. We spent January and February 2020 in Colorado, made the decision to sell the house immediately, returned to Boston on March 1st and called Christian. At our meeting, he went over the numbers with us very carefully, explaining the state of the market as the pandemic picked up. After listening to his assessment, we gave him our sale price number and listed it with him and his team. Then we hired movers, packed up our house, and in mid-March, drove back to Colorado, leaving the keys to the house and all the responsibility of getting the house on the market a.s.a.p. to them. Meredith, our point-person on Christian's team for marketing the house, very quickly scheduled the city inspections, handled the prep work, and got the house staged -- all during the Corona Virus Pandemic! She communicated with us via email, text and phone, giving us updates, asking questions about the house, and answering our questions as the process moved forward.The house went on the market on April 2nd; we had a full list-price offer the next morning. They happened to have the perfect client, we happened to have the perfect house for them. Christian and his team handled all the details for us, working with our Boston attorney, and on May 5th, we closed.Christian, Meredith, and his team truly went above and beyond for us on this sale. They were extremely good at communicating with us, they made sure we knew what was going on during the sale, they worked with our tenants to make sure they were not inconvenienced in any way, and they handled any problems (social distancing, isolation, etc.) with grace and thoroughness. We recommend them highly.

Review My wife and I used Christian Iantosca and his team at Arborview Realty as our sellers agent when we sold our condo in Jamaica Plain in Fall of 2019. Christian and his team were absolutely fantastic. They were extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. They answered all of our questions, gave us a ton of information, and guided us through the selling process. I believe that they sell the most properties in our area, and my wife and I were both so happy that we chose the Christian Iantosca team.

Review Christian and his team did a great job - they got my condo ready to put on the market in a very short time (as it was getting close to July 4th weekend), and it sold after only one weekend of open houses. He was available for questions and help throughout the process. He is extremely knowledgeable about the JP market.

Review My family's experience both buying a new home and selling our previous home with the team were wonderful!Nate Kirby was extremely dedicated to helping us find the perfect home, he was super patient and always available to discuss options or attend viewings. His knowledge of building and construction was a huge plus, he always took the time to look at every aspect of a house and make sure we felt like we knew what we were getting into. He put our interests first and truly wanted us to find a home that was a "perfect" fit for us. Christian Iantosca did an amazing job guiding us towards putting our best foot forward when selling our home. The suggestions he made to get our home "open house" ready were above and beyond. His team did a beautiful job staging & coordinating every step of the listing. We were so grateful to work with the team and recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Boston!

Review I recently purchased a home and my experience with the Arborview Realty/Christian Iantosca Team was superb. Nate Kirby who represented me, was above and beyond helpful throughout the process thoroughly guiding me each step of the way. He was thoughtful in providing insights about any homes I'd send to him for input. He also has extensive knowledge of residential construction, providing valuable commentary on what would or would not need to be addressed upon move-in. I never felt uninformed throughout the process. The seller's team mentioned that working with the Christian Iantosca Team to close the deal was a major reason for selecting my offer for the home I ultimately purchased. The team had recommendations for lenders, attorneys, and inspectors they'd worked with before, giving me confidence that I was in the right hands. Overall a great experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Review When it came time to sell my condo in JP, it was an easy decision to choose Arborview Realty. I'd been monitoring the team's marketing for years and felt like it was a different level of polish and professionalism. Christian knows the JP market better than any other realtor. I also appreciated that he had expertise in negotiations, timing the market and could speak the language of inspectors, both for the home inspection and the fire inspections. While we had a rather complex situation for our sale, I'm happy to say that Christian and his team helped us navigate through the challenges to a successful sale. Our final offer that we accepted was above asking and we were able to close quickly.I'd recommend Arborview to anyone looking to sell in Jamaica Plain.

Review I would highly recommend Christian's team at Arborview. We recently sold a relatively small condo in JP, and regardless felt like we received top tier service and attention from the team. For example, the photography and marketing that the team executed went above and beyond our expectations. Christian models for his team constant professionalism, active listening and effective communication, and acute attention to details. Christian's team helped us to resolve some unexpected issues that arose with our condo association during the sale, allowing us to execute the deal, and land comfortably above asking price.

Review This was the fourth transaction that I had the pleasure of working with Christian, Nate, Meredith and Colleen on. As always, I felt 100% comfortable with the offer/terms that I was submitting. I felt extremely well informed due to how well they communicated not just with us, but amongst themselves too. My wife and I bought in Needham in December 2018, moving from Jamaica Plain. We felt that we got our perfect home at a great price since we bought at an "off" time of year. Christian and the team educated us on everything that Needham had to offer, including a detailed breakdown of the school system. I felt incredibly lucky to have them on my side of the deal and will continue to use them with confidence going forward.
