Ask around about Downtown Boston Realty and one name keeps surfacing: Peter Dassoni. The brokerage itself is a small family operation at 151 Tremont Street — broker-owner Vilma Dassoni working alongside REALTORS Brenda Dassoni Hudson, Peter Dassoni, and Miles Dassoni — and the company says the family brings more than 30 years of experience helping people buy, sell, and rent in Boston's downtown neighborhoods, from Beacon Hill and Back Bay to the Seaport and South Boston. Its Google average sits at 4.9 across 63 ratings, and the reviews read remarkably alike: responsive, knowledgeable, easy to reach. This spring, one client described Peter steering a duplex purchase in Beverly while lining up a sublet for their Back Bay apartment on a tight timeline; another said his communication made the stress of buying a home manageable. The written history runs from 2021 through this year across four sources, and it covers the full spread of their work — buyers, renters, and landlords placing tenants. Two things are worth knowing before you call. The lone negative in the history is a renter's detailed complaint from several years back about slow maintenance response and a security-deposit dispute during a tenancy — if you'd be renting a unit they manage, ask up front how repair requests get handled. And the company's age is fuzzier than the marketing suggests: the website claims over 30 years, while one directory lists a 2007 founding — the longer figure may describe the family's experience rather than the firm itself. This is a fit if you want a small, family-run shop for a downtown Boston rental, condo purchase, or tenant placement, with one agent handling you start to finish rather than a rotating team. Confirm which of the four Dassonis you'd be working with, and if renting, get their maintenance process in writing.

Peter Dassoni did an outstanding job helping us through two major transitions at once, purchasing our duplex in Beverly and finding a sublet for our Back Bay apartment in a very short timeframe. His knowledge of the market, responsiveness, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. He was professional, proactive, and always one step ahead, making sure every detail was handled efficiently. We truly felt like he had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a realtor who is reliable, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for his clients, I highly recommend Peter!

I highly recommend working with Peter at DBR! He is very knowledgeable, patient and honest with feedback. He helped us rent our condo and walked us through the process making it very easy. We will definitely work with him again!

I had a fantastic experience working with Peter and his team to find a house to rent when we moved to Boston from abroad last year and again finding a new rental this year. From the beginning, they were knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and only showed me properties that matched my needs and budget. Their knowledge of the local market was impressive, and they made the entire process—from scheduling viewings to submitting applications—smooth and stress-free. Peter was always available to answer questions, offer honest advice, and handle the paperwork efficiently. I would highly recommend Peter and his team if you need a real estate agent in Boston.
