Remmes & Co. Boston Real Estate

One review from this April tells the story in miniature: a couple who bought their Beacon Hill condo through Chris Remmes in 2011 came back to sell it in 2026 and, in their words, didn't consider hiring anyone else. Remmes & Co. is a residential brokerage at 20 Park Plaza in Boston, led by managing broker Chris Remmes, and the company says it covers Boston plus a ring of surrounding communities — Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Quincy and others — for buying, selling, relocation, and property marketing. The numbers behind that repeat-client arc run deep. On Google the firm sits at 5.0 across 128 ratings, and its review history spans 106 reviews across four sources going back to 2021, with no negative reviews among them. The pattern across those years is steady: quick responses, patient guidance for first-time buyers, and a broker who keeps deals moving through closing — this March, a buyer described the process as about as easy as it gets. The work is broader than sales. The mix over the years includes rentals and tenant placement for landlords as well as purchases and sales, and clients relocating from out of the area have worked with the team from a distance. Several of the longer reviews come from repeat clients and from attorneys and agents who have closed multiple deals alongside the firm. Two things to check rather than assume. FastExpert lists a Massachusetts real estate broker credential (#9072015) and 23 years in the business for Chris Remmes — that is a directory listing, not something confirmed against the state registry, so verify the license through the Massachusetts Board of Registration if it matters to your deal. Likewise, the Boston Magazine and Wall Street Journal rankings cited on the company's site are the company's own claim. If you want one broker to handle a buy-and-sell, a rental, or a move into Boston from elsewhere, this is the profile of a referral-built team with a long run of satisfied clients. Confirm the commission structure and the license, and ask whether Chris or another team member will run your transaction day to day.
