Martin Realty Management

Martin Realty Management is a landlord first and a management company second — the rooms, studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, rooming houses, office suites and retail space it rents out across Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth and Holbrook are the business. The company says it has been in property management for 45 years, though it names no founding year or founder. Its BBB listing fills in some of that: a sole proprietorship with one employee, a business start date of 1978, and Leo Martin as property manager. The reception from people who actually rent from them splits hard. Google sits at 3.1 across 15 ratings, and the reviews behind it run to both ends rather than clustering in the middle — glowing accounts from tenants alongside one-star complaints about how callers were treated. The most recent came in April 2026 from a tenant a year into a one-bedroom in Quincy, who described the owner, the leasing office and maintenance as responsive and professional across the whole tenancy. The complaints don't dispute the apartments — they're about the phone. That's the thing worth testing yourself: call the office before you commit, and see how the conversation goes when you ask something inconvenient. The BBB page is Not Rated, and the bureau says plainly it lacks enough information to issue a grade, so there's no third-party grade to lean on either way. The company is a Quincy Chamber of Commerce member. This is the right call if you're renting on the South Shore and want a small, long-established local operation where the owner is reachable rather than a leasing portal. Before signing, confirm what's actually available in the town you want, ask who handles maintenance requests and how after-hours issues get routed, and judge the office manner for yourself — that's where the reviews disagree most.
