I recently had the pleasure of working with exceptional realtors, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their professionalism, timeliness, and dedication throughout my first-time homebuying experience. From the moment I reached out to JT and Jake, they were incredibly responsive and readily available to answer any questions I had. As a first-time homebuyer, I had many uncertainties and needed guidance throughout the process. They never made me feel like any question was too small or insignificant, and their patience and willingness to provide thorough explanations put me at ease.
One of the standout qualities of JT and Jake was their commitment to timeliness. They were always punctual for appointments and never left me waiting. Moreover, they ensured that all necessary documents and paperwork were promptly submitted and handled, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly set JT and Jake apart was their attention to detail and knowledge of the local real estate market. They took the time to understand my preferences and needs, presenting me with a curated list of properties that perfectly matched my criteria. Their expertise in negotiating deals was invaluable. They were always honest and transparent, ensuring that I made informed decisions every step of the way. Furthermore, JT and Jake had an excellent network of professionals, from inspectors to mortgage brokers, which made the entire home buying process seamless. Their recommendations for these ancillary services were top-notch and saved me both time and effort. In summary, working with JT and Jake was a fantastic experience. The professionalism, timeliness, and commitment to educating and assisting a first-time homebuyer were exemplary. What can be a daunting and overwhelming process felt manageable and enjoyable. My family and I have now happily settled in our new home, and I credit much of that to the exceptional service provided by JT and Jake. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a real estate professional.
JT & Jake have an exceptional team. As a first-time seller, they were insanely helpful in the entire process. No question was silly or unwarranted and they lead me to the correct resource if I asked a question they didn't handle. They have real engrained relationships with people in the business. Attorneys? Got them. Mortgage lenders? Got them. Painters, carpenters, cleaners? Got them. All genuine and trusted references. I would recommend them to my family and friends 10/10 times. I felt completely taken care of and I would 100% use them again. South Boston is lucky to have this team in their neighborhood. 2023
JT is the most knowledgeable and easy to work with broker you could imagine. We have worked with him to buy and sell and on both ends he took amazing care of us. My wife and I especially appreciate his attention to detail and how clear he makes every step of the process. If we are ever buying in the area again, we will absolutely work with JT for a third time. 2023
JT and team were a huge asset for us as we closed on our first home. They were extremely responsive and attentive throughout - we had plenty of questions and they were always direct with us and helped reduce confusion in the process - we definitely recommend them to other first-time buyers! 2023
JT Kelly Team is the best team to buy your home with! They were with us through every step of the process when finding our home in Westwood. They are timely - willing to go to an open house with you any weekend or schedule private appointments. They know so much about the industry! Even when we had questions about small tasks like "who to help us paint our house" or "a good electrician" they always followed through with a connection. 2023
JT and Jake were fantastic to work with. They helped us get our home in Swampscott for well below asking- unheard of in this market! They were always attentive and communicative throughout the entire process 2023
It was a pleasure to work with JT and Jake. We're first time home-buyers around the Arlington area and needed help and guidance throughout the process and JT and Jake were always available, responsive, and ready to answer all our questions and advise us on the process at every step. Highly recommend! 2022
JT & Jake were excellent guides as we looked for our first home in Arlington MA!
We looked for over a year; they patiently helped us look, let us into homes with no open houses on a flexible schedule, and helped us answer (probably hundreds of) questions that we had during the process. We never felt pressured to put offers on homes that didnt fit our precise specs or to bid higher than we were comfortable.
Once we got an offer accepted, the team made the process as easy as it could realistically be. They had great suggestions for every necessary part of the process (lawyers, mortgage brokers, painters, contractors, etc), and were perfectly happy to offer additional suggestions or let us choose our own professionals. They helped us coordinate all the way through the closing.
We intend to recommend the JT Kelly Team to any friends looking in the area! 2022
JT and Jake are an amazing team. They helped me purchase a home in Watertown and made the process a breeze. This is the second time I have purchased through them and will absolutely be doing so again in the future. 2022
JT worked with my friend and I to help us sell our condo that we bought with him four years previously. We listed our property immediately as the market began shifting in spring 2022. To be frank it was not an easy sale process. We had to drop price a couple of times but ultimately we found a buyer and still met our goals with selling the property.
JT was a great agent to have at our side to navigate this process - always incredibly patient, responsive, and helpful. There is a lot of nuance and details involved with selling a home (staging, pricing, offer evaluation, open houses) and JT is an expert on those facets. This is particularly the case when you are dealing with changing market conditions.
I can now say I would happily recommend JT as both a buyer's agent and listing agent! 2022
JT and his team were great! This is the second transaction I used JT for in MA and the transactions was seamless again. I would recommend JT and his team in the future.
We had a great experience with JT and his crew from Kellar Williams when selling and buying our homes in what can only be described as a hectic marketplace. Every step of the way JT made himself available to answer questions and address all of our concerns. I was particularly impressed with the media team he used to sell our home. Using 3D modeling, impressive photography, and drone shots of the yard gave us a huge advantage over many of the other properties we saw on the websites of the competition. In summary 10/10 would highly recommend him! 2022
This was the second home ive purchased with JT Kelly representing me. This was more of a challenge and JT was fantastic throughout the process. JT's experience was invaluable when it came to tackling the challenges we came across and he was able to guide me through the process answering all questions in a timely manner. I am looking forward to the next one with JT 2022
I worked with JT to buy my first home close to Boston. He was patient, friendly, responsive, never pushy. He was a great resource for me and I would recommend him to anybody looking in the area. 2022
JT and his team are stellar. I recommend them to everyone. You can't do better. Here's why: 1) Big one: responsiveness. It's so important with a realter that they get back to you when you (inevitably) have questions or when something unexpected comes up, cause it always does. Whenever we texted or emailed JT's team, they got back within hours. 2) Comfort: the team understands that buying/selling a house is complicated and scary and something you rarely do, and they do a great job of answering questions patiently, dealing with what's concerning you, and making you feel better. 3) Dirty work: buying/selling a house means dealing with other people who sometimes have different incentives from you. JT and his team are willing to handle these difficult interactions to shield you from having to do it. 4) Little details: they sent us a Thanksgiving pie as a thank you. 2021
I had a seamless experience working with Abby and the JT Kelly Team. Abby was always available to answer any questions I had, understood my requirements and shared details for potential homes. She contacted the listing agent multiple times for my small and big queries. As a first time homebuyer, Im pleased by the team and highly recommend to anyone buying a new home! 2021
My girlfriend and I just recently used JT Kelly Team for the purchase of our condo in South Boston. We worked closely with JT and Jake for months and it was an excellent experience. Throughout the entire time they were extremely helpful, insightful, strategic and patient with us (which was necessary as we were first time home buyers). The entire experience was phenomenal and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy/sell/rent in the Boston area. The level of detail and responsiveness that JT and Jake provided us with was exceptional. They made coordinating between the attorneys/lenders super easy and straightforward. Down the road when our next real estate situation arises we will certainly be working with the JT Kelly Team again. JT and Jake both became friends of ours during this process and we trust them entirely - we cannot imagine working with anyone else. 2021
We highly recommend JT Kelly and his team. JT was unbelievably responsive to all of our questions (big and tiny), and always acted as our advocate. We knew we could trust his advice, and felt thoroughly supported throughout our home buying journey. JT also helped us navigate some unexpected changes with competence and grace. We feel fortunate to have worked with him! 2021
I have worked with JT in the past for renting the apartment we lived in for 3 years and had a great experience. Naturally, when we decided to buy I thought of JT first. He gave us honest and practical advice and helped us close a deal in under a month. Responded to all our questions (which we had a ton of as first time home buyers!) promptly. I have referred his team to many of my friends and family just because we know how helpful his team is for first time home buyers. I honestly would give him more than 5 stars if I could. Great experience overall- highly recommend! 2021
JT was fantastic through the whole transactions from beginning to end! He helped us secure the condo for almost $100k under asking, was able to answer our question super quick, and overall was able to provide a seamless transaction. I would highly recommend working with JT and his team.
Lastly, he was able to help me coordinate a little surprise at closing to help make my girlfriend become my finance!!
JT made our first home buying experience stress-free and enjoyable. He is so helpful every single step of the way and was able to make our 30-day close a breeze. He clearly has tremendous experience and goes above and beyond to provide the best customer experience possible. I would recommend working with JT to friends, family, and anyone I meet! 2021
JT was an awesome agent to work with! As a first time home buyer, he helped me navigate and learn about every step of the process, and was always easy to ask questions to and communicate with. The advice and resources he provided were instrumental in making this experience a positive one. Even in a hot market and difficult environment from COVID, JT managed everything professionally and diligently - highly recommend!! 2021
JT is the man! I hired him to sell my condominium, him and his team performed much better than we had ever hoped. We sold for significantly over ask price and received multiple offers. The communication, explanations of scenarios and general professionalism start to finish was phenomenal. The marketing looked pristine, internet presence was phenomenal... we are thrilled. Wed highly recommend JT and his team to any seller! 2021
JT is super friendly and super knowledgeable about the Boston housing market. The transactions here can get complex, so his experience is key! I worked with him as a rental agent and stuck with him when buying my home in 2021. If youre looking for someone you can trust over the years, look no further than JT Kelly. 2021
JT is the absolute best! As first time house buyers, my husband and I weren't really sure where to start. JT guided us through the entire process, responded so quickly every time we contacted him, and overall made home buying experience stress free and enjoyable. He and his professional contacts are amazing and communication between parties (mortgage, real estate attorney, etc.) was seamless. They were able to get us through the closing process without a hitch. JT's experience as an agent was an invaluable asset to making sure nothing was overlooked from the open house to closing. If we could give him 10 stars we would! 2020
JT was THE consummate professional from start to finish. Not to repeat what others have said, but he truly was there every step of the way. From helping me figure out timelines, to organizing showings, to answering questions at all hours, JT made sure that I was taken care of.
A real estate agent should be expected to be a value adder to any transaction, and JT Kelly and his team made sure that they added value for me at every point in the process. I look forward to using JT for all my buying and selling needs in the future, and you really should to. You won't be disappointed. 2020
JT is the man! This was my first home buying experience and I was probably super annoying. I did a ton of research on my own and asked a lot questions every step of the way. JT is super quick to respond, all hours of the day / night / weekends and extremely knowledgeable. He is well connected which made this whole process a breeze. We had a hard time making tradeoffs while choosing a home. JT never pressured us to make decisions and instead made sure we were absolutely sure about things given the magnitude of the purchase. I'm really happy where we ended up because of this. Can't recommend JT enough! 2020
My boyfriend and I were first-time home buyers so we had a lot of questions. JT knows the industry like the back of his hand, and it was so great to partner with him! He was super helpful and responsive at every step of the way. 2020
We still can't believe how easy JT made our first home buying experience. We reached out to him a few months before our search began with no idea how or where to start. He explained the entire process to us and connected us with a trusted mortgage lender to get the ball rolling. After getting that squared away, we still had no idea where we wanted to look! JT listened to our lists of "wants" and "dealbreakers" and quickly suggested a few neighborhoods to take a look at. Within a few days we already had properties lined up to see that we were excited about. Luckily, JT was flexible in fitting our schedules so we were able to see properties asap. He answered calls, texts and emails at all hours of the night. No matter how many clients he was working with, we always felt like he made time for us. He never pressured us to make offers to increase our budgets, he was a great partner through it all. We wouldn't have our home today without him! 2020
What a guy! JT is simply the best when it comes to real estate. His patience coupled with insane responsiveness made my home buying experience in South Boston a breeze. He knew the answer to every question I had and was able to coordinate everything without a hitch. His ability to provide value in more ways than just being a broker really took his services to the next level. I 5/5 would recommend him and look forward to using him again in the future. 2020
We have worked with JT in the past to find several apartments throughout the Boston area so there was no one else we would have turned to when it came to buying our first home. From the first open house to signing our closing papers, JT was there for us every step of the way. He answered absolutely every question that we had, big and small, at all hours of the day. There were a couple of hurdles that we had to get through in order to get to our closing and JT got us through every one with his expertise and honesty about each challenge, even in the unique circumstances associated with the COVID-19 outbreak. JT also has a great network of trusted professionals that he has worked with which eased our nerves in finding a reputable mortgage company, law firm, home inspector, contractors, etc. We always felt like a top priority to JT and trusted his knowledge and expertise to help guide us in achieving this milestone of our first home! 2020
JT made the process of buying my first home incredibly easy. His expertise in the area, attentiveness, great work ethic, and contacts were instrumental in getting a great price and no hassle purchase. Above all else JT's honesty and straight forward nature stand out and I know I will work with JT again in the future. 2020
JT was amazing through the whole process! He works really hard to get you the perfect home, and is extremely professional and attentive to your real estate needs. He is the best real estate agent that I have worked with in Boston by far!! I am happy with my new home and it is largely due to him! 2020
JT was awesome to deal with from start to finish. I was a first time homebuyer looking for a condo and he was responsive all the time, always had a smile on his face and knowledgeable about everything I asked him. He was never pressuring or annoying, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house. I know I plan on using him in a few years when I sell my condo and move back home to California. 2019
If it wasn't for JT, we wouldn't have our home today. He is simply amazing. We contacted J.T. after parting ways with our earlier agent, and we are so glad we did. We noticed such a big difference from our earlier agent. J.T. is extremely professional, eager, always a message away at any time of the day, and always wears a smile. We had our baby while finalizing the deal for our house, and J.T. took care of everything. We didn't have to worry about anything at all because of him. He even scheduled appointments for inspections and always followed up with everyone. As first time home buyers, we were often clueless. J.T. walked us through all the processes, always kept him calm, and made everything so easy.
We owe our home to JT! Thank you JT - you are the best!! 2019
Working with JT was fantastic. He is knowledgeable, personable, helpful and understanding. Answered any questions or concerns immediately. He worked diligently on the sale of our house. His expertise put us at ease. I would highly recommend JT to anyone buying or selling in the area. 2019
JT reliably went above and beyond in all aspects of the sale. We took a little over a year to close on a property and we never felt rushed or like he was uninterested. Some of the properties we saw he actually talked us out of due to maintenance issues that arose (Roof, foundation...) instead of pushing through a quick sale. About a year later we are extremely happy with our purchase and are thankful for everything he did. You won't go wrong by calling him! 2019
JT was instrumental in helping me choose and successfully close my first investment property. He is resourceful and with contacts for financing, insurance, home inspection, and attorneys. He made the process straight forward. I look forward to working with him again. 2019
I was looking for various investment properties and JT brought me multiple non-MLS off market deals. The one I ended up buying in Mission Hill had a high cap rate in comparison to the idea. Very good at estimating investment costs, rents, cap rates and ROI. 2018
JT helped us buy our first home in a notoriously difficult market. He helped us narrow down what we were really looking for, took us to see several places, and ultimately helped us act fast and buy a property well below listing price. We could not have asked for a better experience. JT had a deep understanding of the market and also the buying process. He answered our questions diligently, oversaw the whole transaction professionally, and made us feel totally at ease. I would absolutely recommend JT for any real estate needs. 2018
This review is LONG overdue (Sorry JT!) - we have nothing but great things to say about JT and the services he provided us. We went to him in search of our first home and he couldn't have been more helpful throughout the process. We changed our location and preferences multiple times, and he never made us feel like we were wasting his time or try to rush us. Anything we asked him he regularly replied within 10 minutes morning, afternoon, evening or late at night. Throughout the entire paperwork process he was always there to answer questions and he has been incredible following up with us post-move too. He has a list of contractors he recommends and they all have been phenomenal as well providing cheap and great service. We plan on calling JT again in a few years when we go to sell this home and buy another! 2018
This was my first home purchase and JT was great throughout the entire process. JT is the most responsive professional I have worked with in any field, consistently responding to my questions within a few minutes. After working with me for over 12 months, JT really earned his keep when he was able to push the deal through once we finally decided on a property. Buying a home can consume a lot of your free time and I would love to do it again with JT's help! Strongly recommend JT as your next real estate agent! 2018
I just bought a house with JT's help. He was super responsive and outstanding in every way. I would definitely use him again and would highly recommend that other people use him if they are looking to buy a house or condo. 2018
JT was kind and knowledgeable realtor. I could not have navigated the house buying process without him and his support. I was buying home in Newton and he was incredible knowledgeable about the areas and what I was looking for. 2017
JT was incredibly helpful to us as a realtor in the Waltham/Watertown area. He is professional, friendly, pleasant, experienced, and turned what originally seemed to us a daunting task into an enjoyable, fulfilling experience. n nOn top of that, J.T. is level-headed, friendly, and went out of his way numerous times to make us feel more comfortable with the process and that our needs and desires were important and were being listened to. I would gladly hire him again in the future for any Real Estate needs and would not hesitate to recommend his services to friends or relatives. 2017
J.T. has been such an incredibly helpful real estate agent during my selling and buying process. While debating when to put our house on the market J.T. analyzed the best time during the year and we were able to sell our house for over asking price! Having bought and sold in under one year we were in constant communication and he was always there to give us the best possible advice. His commitment to help his clients in any way possible is seen through his referral rating. Thank you J.T.! 2016
I reached out to JT off of a recommendation when I went to sell my Roxbury 3 family. I had been looking for a real estate agent for a couple of days, and had mixed experiences finding some online in the past. n nJT met me on site in Roxbury the same day, was professional, friendly and instantly knowledgeable about the area, projected rent prices (we had just finished a renovation so the building was vacant), and comparable sales prices. n nWithin 2 weeks of listing with him, we had multiple offers on the property and ended up accepting an offer. He was available seemingly 24/7, answering the phone whenever I called, even if it was to briefly say hey I'm in a meeting let me call you back in 15 minutes . I called him early morning sometimes, and late night others. Even though there were a couple of hurdles in the transaction, every single part of it was stress free for me thanks to his help. n nAfter the transaction was completed he still followed up with me regularly to make sure my transition was going okay, and at one point even connected me with a great affordable plumber that made time to come see me despite being fully booked for 3 weeks. n nI can't say enough about how incredible JT was throughout this whole process, and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home in the Boston region. 2014
I used JT as my realtor in search of a multi family investment in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale and Mission Hill area. We worked together for a little bit over 1 year before I finally put in an offer on one I liked. During the entire process he was patient, not pushy but incredibly knowledgeable about the pros/cons of each property and the cap rate I could expect on each. I have owned my investment now for a little bit over a year and the projected numbers are spot on if not higher. JT handles all of my rentals and property management as well so it is convenient for me to work with him for everything. Much appreciated and I will continue to use in the future! 2016
I hired JT to be my realtor as a first time condo buyer in the Back Bay / Symphony area. Totally new to the process he was incredibly accommodating, professional and knowledgeable about the area. After expressing some interest in an initial property, the inspection didn't go too well so we ended up backing out and choosing another one. At no point was he pushy, salesmany , or pressuring. He provided us sales comparables as well as rental estimates which turned out to be spot on (I had to move out of city a year later and rent out the condo, his rental estimate was only $50 under the rent price we ended up getting of $3600.) I am confident that because of his knowledge of the area, connections and professionalism, we saved money on the purchase of our condo. 2016
I used JT as a realtor for the first time home purchase of my condo on the North Shore. After seeing about 10 condos, putting an offer on one and losing out, we finally got an offer accepted for the one I liked the most. He was extremely helpful, knowledgable and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone new to the process. He wasn't pushy or anything like that - I will absolutely be using him again 2016
JT was great! Without him I would've never been able to purchase my property! He is a life saver and will do anything in his power to help you out! I would recommend him to anyone! 2015
As a first time homebuyer, J.T. was a pleasure to work with. He was consistently friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. His help made a big difference, and truthfully, without J.T. the process probably would not have worked. Throughout the process from beginning to end, J.T. was able to answer any and all of my questions. Whenever we needed another person on the team, he was able to refer me to an equally helpful professional. For instance, the home inspector he referred was extremely thorough and detailed. One major hiccup that J.T. helped fix was our appraisal. Our appraisal came in unreasonably low and the deal started to fall apart. However, J.T. quickly saved the day by using his in-depth experience of the Boston area to write a detailed professional letter that could be used by the bank to set the deal back on track. Above all else, J.T. was friendly and a pleasure to work with. As a new home buyer he helped answer my endless list of questions with knowledgeable answers. He also was extremely accessible to set up viewings, and was responsive at all times of the day. Overall, I would recommend J.T. to anyone, and have been telling my friends and family how perfect he has been. He even followed up with me after the entire process was over to check if everything was alright and if I needed any more help. 2016
Keller Williams real estate broker J.T. Kelly was the perfect person for helping buy a condo. n nBefore working with JT, I was looking on the usual websites to see what was out there that I could afford. I didn't want to move out of the Allston/Brighton area. I found some suitable apartments in Oak Square that met my budget and I emailed the listing brokers on them. You'd think they'd have been more helpful but they said come to the open house or just didn't reply. n nThat's when I reached out to JT after reading some of his great reviews online - JT got back to me right away. I told him what I was looking for, what was important to me and how much I wanted to pay. The next day we met and started looking. We looked the next day as well. On the third day, I put in an offer and got accepted under asking! n nWhat made JT so awesome (other than the fact that I had a new apartment in 3 days) was that he listened to what I wanted and showed me only places that fit the bill. Not only did he not try to upsell me to a higher price, he actually negotiated a better deal with the owner and listing broker than the asking price! JT made the process so quick and easy and was so much fun to work with with because he knows the neighborhood so well and could recommend local restaurants, bars and more! 2015
I have worked with JT on several transactions, and have always found him to be responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Most recently I purchased a multi family home from him and everything went smoothly! Thanks again JT 2017
It was a pleasure to work with JT Kelly from start to finish during the complex, nerve wracking experience of buying my new condo. n nThroughout the whole process he was calm, reassuring and knowledgeable. He was available, seemingly, twenty- four hours a day. His response to my e mails or phone calls was almost instantaneous. If he did not know the answer on the spot he delved into the matter and got back to me quickly. He never made me feel that I was bothering him with my questions or concerns. He was accommodating when I wanted to make a few extra visits to the condo. JT worked out a timetable for the purchase process which was effective without being pushy, but flexible enough to allow extra time for little delays that arose. n nI am happy with my new condo, and grateful to JT for making this major undertaking a good experience for me. 2017
