Two very different companies show up in Core Property Group's reviews, and which one you meet depends on whether you are buying from them or renting from them. On the sales side, the North End brokerage has clients who stay for a decade. Reviewers writing in April 2024 described ten-year relationships spanning rentals, a first condo purchase and six-plus transactions; one landlord listed the whole management stack — listings, applications, background checks, credit reports, end-of-lease handling. A July 2025 seller credited agent Stephen Rothstein with getting a condo sale through a down market, and a November 2024 buyer credited Zach Barron on what they called a complex sale. Investors point at the same thing: a May 2025 reviewer called Giancarlo Tiberi a go-to for North End multi-family. Deal-feed posts on r/tradedboston record the firm's brokers on Boston multifamily trades, including a $4M eight-unit and a $2.75M five-unit. The tenant reviews read differently. A June 2025 renter wrote that communications went unanswered for days and called the fee astronomical; a May 2025 prospect had been trying for weeks just to reach someone. A September 2024 tenant described late or missing responses to maintenance problems and a move-out only answered on the day itself. In an October 2024 account, a tenant of two years said a company principal swore at them on the phone after weeks of unanswered emails. And the single review in the last six months, posted July 2026, says the writer paid a $20 application fee, finished the application, then was told 30 seconds later the unit had been rented that morning. Two things to weigh before calling. Google's own average is 3.6 across 64 ratings, well below what the five-star block alone would suggest, and most of those five-star reviews went up across two days, April 11 and 12, 2024. On the credential side, the firm's Massachusetts real estate broker license, 9147-RE-LC, is active in the name of Core Property Group, LLC, and its BBB page carries an A+. If you are buying, selling, or handing them a building to manage as the owner, the reviews run largely favorable and the named agents get credited by name. If you are renting from them, ask upfront who handles maintenance requests, what the response-time commitment is, and what happens to your application fee if the unit goes under agreement while you are still applying.

Totally unprofessional, partially scammy realtor group. Toured an apartment with Zach Barron, submitted the application, was at the last step (payment) when i asked about a question about heat utility, 30 seconds later i was in formed the apartment had bene rented out that MORNING, right after i paid 20 dollars for the application fee and spent my whole day involved with the apartment. outrageous and truly unprofessional.
Can’t recommend anything less than working with Core Property Group
I worked with Stephen Rothstein to sell my condo recently. Given the market's recent downturn, the process could have been miserable, but Stephen smoothed over a lot of the headaches. I'd strongly recommend him for any condo sale in and around the North End
Completely unresponsive brokers with communications left unanswered for days. They’ve made following on showings, checking your application, or managing literally any connection you have with them ahead of collecting an astronomical fee nearly impossible. I’d avoid at all costs.
The worst landlords in Boston. Zero respect for your personal property in the apartment. While showing my apartment in March in Boston they decided to leave the porch door wide open. When I called them out on it apparently it was my fault. Thank god for the Furbo dog camera! What’s that saying Pictures are worth 1,000 words? Also will get you to pay a 3,000 Realtor fee just to raise your rent by $500 a month 12 months later. Could they rent it at that price? Ha, nope…. Decreased the monthly asking price down $300 from what I was quoted shortly after I told them I was not going to renew. A true joke, but the sad reality in the Boston renters market. They don’t care about you one bit.
