Two of the people who wrote about Anthony Velardi in spring 2025 were buying their first home. One said flatly that they never expected to be a homeowner and that Velardi "did everything in his power" to get them into a house; the other called buying a first home the best experience they could have asked for and put it down to their realtor. AV Realty & Management is Velardi's own Swampscott firm, and its Massachusetts real estate broker licence is active. He started it, the company says, after years managing multifamily assets and running operations for large residential communities — and the business still runs on both legs: buyer, seller and investor representation on one side, leasing, tenant screening, rent collection and maintenance coordination on the other. The written accounts are mostly about the agent work. A May 2025 client toured several houses with him before landing one in Swampscott and singled out how quickly he came back on phone and email; a 2024 reviewer said they had worked with him across multiple transactions. In January 2026 a client on the management side recommended the firm for that work specifically. It is a young shop. Thumbtack lists three years in business and a single employee, and the ratings behind it — 5.0 from 8 there, 5 stars from 5 on Google — are unanimous but shallow. A real history, just not a deep one yet. For a North Shore buyer, especially a first-time one, this is a reasonable call: the note that keeps repeating is patience and fast replies with someone who has not done this before. If you are hiring on the management side instead, ask how many units are under management now and who picks up the maintenance calls.
Anthony is the best! Highly recommend using AV Realty and Management for your property management needs!!
I cant say enough about Anthony. He's more than a real estate agent. In a time where buying a property can be a very daunting task, Anthony makes it as smooth as possible. I honestly didn't think I'd ever be a home owner. This man did everything in his power to help me purchase a home. He helped me find an amazing first home buyers program that fit my requirements, as well as finding me the best loan financing. Anthony came to many open houses and always returned my calls or messages in a very timely manner. Hes also very smart, kind, and helpful. If you're looking to buy a home but you feel like it's out of your grasp, I recommend talking to Anthony. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Just want to say thanks so much Anthony! You're an amazing agent and an awesome person👍
Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience buying my first home, and it was all due to my realtor Anthony Velardi. Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions one will make, so being able to work along a person that you can trust and genuinely cares about their client is crucial. It was evident that Anthony had both of those attributes. He was able to guide and educate me through the process, and did it in a very patient and professional manner. I appreciate how responsible, responsive and reliable he was at all steps of the way. He also made sure to answer all of my many questions carefully and thoroughly. I was also impressed with his negotiating skills, he kept my best interest in mind and made sure to work towards the most desirable outcome possible. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone interested in purchasing a home, he is dedicated to his profession and will not disappoint.
I highly recommend Anthony as your real estate agent for his exceptional customer service. I visited multiple homes with Anthony to find the perfect house in Swampscott, MA. He was very responsive via phone and email. I was impressed by how diligent and eloquent he was when speaking with agents at open houses, and how quickly he put in an offer—within an hour of our visit! I was amazed to find a home in such a competitive market and in such a beautiful location. What stood out to me was how Anthony had a team of professionals working with him, which helped speed up the home-buying process. He connected me with a mortgage lender, and he had a real estate attorney who gave me the confidence I needed as a first-time homebuyer in case any legal situations came up. He also recommended a highly qualified inspector to ensure everything was in good condition with the house. I truly appreciate all the help and guidance he provided throughout this process. In addition to the purchase of my home, Anthony helped me set up an Airbnb in the back of my house and even helped manage it. He also leased part of my house and found tenants—something I’m incredibly thankful for because it helped supplement my rent expenses. He even helped me create a lease contract and set up automatic rent payments, which made becoming a landlord so much easier. I will always be grateful to Anthony and his team for helping me find the ideal place to live and guiding me through the process of becoming a homeowner and landlord. All of this was done at affordable prices. God bless your business, Anthony. Thank you for helping me find my dream home and for helping me become a successful landlord.
