Remmes & Co. is a Boston-based residential real estate brokerage led by broker Chris Remmes, working buy, sell and rental transactions across Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline and a wide list of surrounding towns including Newton, Quincy, Medford and Malden. The company says it has been named a top-ranked broker and recognized for its client experience by Boston Magazine and The Wall Street Journal. What repeats across more than a hundred Google reviews dating back to 2021 is how many clients come back. One family worked with Chris across fifteen years and half a dozen transactions, buying, selling and renting together in Charlestown along the way. Another bought a Beacon Hill condo with him in 2011 and returned to sell the same condo in 2026. The specifics echo from account to account: he personally negotiates, coordinates staging and contractors, and stays reachable through closing — clients relocating from Italy and New Jersey both describe video showings and steady updates that made a remote search work. His team, including Sam and Jack, draws the same praise for responsiveness on both sales and rentals. First-time buyers come up often too. A 2023 review called him "SUPERB" for guiding a search outside his usual neighborhoods and handling the legal, financial and emotional sides of a first purchase in under a month; another first-time buyer credits him with patiently explaining a process she didn't yet understand. On the selling side, clients describe him arranging staging, keeping them informed through negotiations, and closing quickly once a price was set. Nothing negative turns up among the reviews quoted here, spanning buyers, sellers, landlords and renters alike. Its Massachusetts real estate broker license is active, and Google shows a 5-star rating from 128 ratings. Anyone considering Remmes & Co. is likely working with a small, hands-on team built around one broker's relationships — worth confirming upfront who handles the day-to-day if Chris is juggling several active deals at once.
“I was trying to sell our family home in Watertown, MA which had been in the family since 1958. Chris was very accessible and communicated with me throughout the sale, he always returned my phone calls and emails promptly.”
This is a great company and highly professional people. I highly recommend them for all real estate needs.
We have worked twice with Chris and would never work with anyone else. He helped us buy our Beacon Hill condo in 2011 and sell it in 2026. A colleague recommended Chris in 2011 because he was “very chill” - and it was indeed wonderful to work with such a calm, diplomatic, and patient person. He “read the room” perfectly and helped us craft an offer that appealed to the sellers while saving us money. Based on that experience, we reached out to him when it was time to sell in 2026, and didn’t consider hiring anyone else. Chris really knows his stuff, and we just knew we were in good hands. His expert advice about pricing, offers, inspections, and repairs was spot-on, and he has a strong network of professionals that made our entire transaction smooth and speedy. Chris is an excellent communicator, knowing just when to touch base without hovering, and he’s extremely responsive. If we had one piece of advice to give to a potential buyer or seller, we would say “Hire Chris” and follow his advice!
Chris and his team were so helpful and made the homebuying experience as easy as possible. We will definitely use Chris in the future if we need to buy a place and we will definitely be recommending him to any folks looking to buy a place in the area. Big thank you to Chris and his team!!!
