Why Work With Us?

James Riel was with us every step of the way. Super approchable, easy to talk with, he always kept our best interest at heart. We highly recommend JR Associates. You will not be disappointed.

From the moment I sent a generic tour request through Zillow James has been responsive, professional, fair, and a pleasure to work with. He has walked us through the entire rental process without ever being forceful or pushy, and he has communicated succinctly and quickly in person, by phone, and by email. He would be the first person I’d reach out to for future real estate endeavors whether renting, selling, buying, etc. He provides top notch service.

James was extremely responsive to are questions and made it a smooth and stress-free experience. His knowledge of the listing and flexibility made it super simple throughout the entire process. He was direct and would recommend him to others, no question.

It's without a doubt that any first-time (or experienced) homebuyer should look no further than James Riel and his brokerage! James was outstanding across the board per above ratings, but two things to specifically commend him on are his knowledge of the buying process (in an insane market) and his negotiation skills. James was always available to attend showings with my boyfriend and I on multiple consecutive weekends and weeknights. We went through only two offers before we won an offer with James, and I think a large factor that went into our win is how he educated us on the offer process to be competitive (but still sensible), and all the leg work he did on the back-end that we didn't see-- i.e., persistently contacting the list agent of a home we had interest in, convincing but also demonstrating to the proper parties that we were the right buyers for a given property, giving us good suggestions for mortgage firms etc. Aside from James' acumen in the business, he had a true dedication to the client that was obvious to us, as he was a joy to work with. He always kept a light, positive attitude through a difficult buyer's market. We've closed on our dream home and James was there every step of the way! I am confident you will be happy you chose James or anyone at JR Associates for buying your (first, or any) home!

I have dealt with many Real Estate Professionals during my time in The Greater Boston Area and I can honestly say that James Riel had outshined them all by a mile. He helped my girlfriend and I find our first apartment together because he was so easy work with. He was respectful towards our budget and what we were looking for in an apartment, and was always in direct communication with the Landlord. His knowledge of the South Boston area along with his responsiveness to our questions and concerns was everything a renter should look for in a Real Estate Professional.
