Intent Realty Group

Intent Realty Group is a Quincy real estate and property-management outfit — reviewers from 2022 through 2024 knew it by an earlier name, Doughty Properties — that the site says has worked the Boston area for about six years. Nearly every review names the same agent, Darrin, for both the rental and buying side of the business. On rentals, the pattern across dozens of reviews from 2022 to 2025 is speed and follow-through: a 2025 review describes him securing a rental with steady communication start to finish; a 2023 review describes negotiating lower rent for three roommates on a tight budget after their first-choice property fell through, and surfacing listings they hadn't found elsewhere; a 2022 review describes helping an active-duty military family relocate from out of state with clear, timely answers to every question. A 2024 review credits the company's property-management side with keeping a rental in top condition and responding promptly to maintenance concerns. Buying gets attention too — a 2023 review describes a first-time homebuyer calling the experience easy and exciting, and a 2025 review describes Darrin balancing humor with real market knowledge to make an anxious home search feel manageable. Against that pile of praise sits one clear complaint: a 2023 review describes being shown a single apartment, told there was no broker fee, then having to find and secure a unit largely on their own — a different experience from what most reviewers describe. Google's own aggregate, 4.9★ across 40 ratings, matches the overwhelmingly positive tone of the written record.
