Ricardo Rodriguez & Associates is a Boston brokerage built around a roster of named agents rather than one person — Rich Hornblower, Bethany Eddy, Marissa, Joe Reale, Roger Duque, and Karen Navarrete among them — and the 72 written reviews spread across all of them tell a consistent story. Google puts the firm at a 5★ average across 74 ratings, and its Massachusetts real estate broker license is active. The most recent review, from March 2026, credited Bethany and Marissa with a sale that closed through determination and skill after they "stayed positive, communicated clearly, gave honest advice" throughout. The specifics repeat across agents and years. A 2025 review said Marissa sold a property $70K over asking after a single open house, and a 2023 review described her getting 27 offers on a longtime family home in about six days once she listed it. Another 2025 review said the team showed an out-of-state buyer ten houses in one day so they could decide before flying home. On the affordable-housing side, a 2025 review said Richard Hornblower ran a lottery for eight affordable units inside a 66-unit development, and a 2024 review described Joe Reale walking a first-time VA buyer through the process while answering his phone "24/7 including the weekends". Repeat business shows up again and again — one client has worked with Bethany for more than ten years across ten-plus transactions, and a 2023 review described a relationship with Ricardo going back 15 years, spanning a seller-side deal, a condo sale, and a rental placement. There's nothing negative on the record. Reach out and ask which agent on the team fits your situation — buyers, sellers, renters, and affordable-housing purchases all show up in the reviews.
Bethany and Marissa were outstanding from start to finish. They stayed positive, communicated clearly, gave honest advice, and worked tirelessly every step of the way. They truly went above and beyond, and we successfully closed thanks to their determination and skill. If you need patient, tenacious, and caring agents for a home sale, I highly recommend Bethany and Marissa. Thank you both!
The selling process was daunting at first due to long work days and having to sell and find a home at the same time. But Bethany was very hands on and helpful in staging and ensuring our home sold quickly as possible! Bethany and Marissa both helped us understand the market. They also guided us in rectifying an issue we had during the inspection process to ensure a fair negotion. They are both knowledgeable, professional, and I highly reccomend!
Working with Rich was an absolute pleasure. As a first time home buyer I wasn’t sure about the process, finanse and had lots of questions. Rich was incredibly patient and responsive, promptly answering my calls and emails. He went above and beyond to help me find my perfect home. I couldn’t be more thankful and I’m highly recommending working with Rich.
Rich has always been helpful when providing me real estate advice. He's straightforward and honest with his input which is not always easy to find these days. I would trust him with all of my real estate needs.
I recommended Richard Hornblower to my clients as the person to run a housing lottery for 8 affordable units within the 66 unit multi family residential housing development they were working on. He was knowledgeable, prepared and always professional. Needless to say the project was a success! Richard is one of the best in Boston - always enjoy working with him.
