The fact that you know to ask this suggests you may have already looked at other references to Mandy on this sub. If not, it's worth having a look! I have no first hand experiences with them, and based on what I've seen here I hope to keep it that way. I cherish my ignorance.

One recommendation that comes up here often is a realtor called Seabury Hill. They have a good reputation and get the most desirable listings first so you may have better luck with them, and they can steer you away from some bad landlords. My experience with Seabury Hill was extremely positive.

(Unlike you I had the luxury of being able to take a while to find the right place at the right price. Which was nothing to do with the realtor but with me being fussy.)

Avoid Roseann Iuvone if you are a person of color, she made racist comments about my friendly neighbors, and overall sucked. Disorganized, arrived at the wrong time, needed to borrow keys from tenants, etc.

Were you with Roseann Iuvone? She’s a Trump-supporting real estate agent from East Haven that lied to us and made gross comments about my friends/neighbors. She’s held up as some local Little Italy agent and she’s not even from CT or Wooster Square, she’s a liar and racist scum. Edit: I have some unflattering screen shots, DM me if you want to see them.

I second using Seabury there isn’t a fee to use them as a renter as the landlord pays them and you’ll have a better experience finding places that aren’t managed by a slumlord

We found our apartment through Seabury and have had a great experience. We’ve been here for almost four years now without complaint. I would also highly recommend them.

I disagree, I used Seabury Hill to find a landlord my first year and got an absolute slumlord that resulted in multiple lawsuits by the tenants. I informed Seabury Hill and they said they didn’t care — so make sure to independently vet landlord if you use them as they aren’t always trustworthy

Agree seabury is bad, the place they got us was not cleaned at all (down to hair in the drain and pee on the toilet seats), there was trash and furniture left by the former tenants, bugs
