Working with Peter to find an apartment for my school year was amazing. He went above and beyond by getting to know my roommates and me, ensuring our move-in went well, and answering any questions. Even though we’ve moved in, he still checks in on us, which makes him a great real estate agent. I’d recommend him to anyone in the Boston area!
