The Rasner Group works Greater Boston real estate out of a Back Bay office, led by agent Ilya Rasner alongside teammates Kimberly and Kristine. Nineteen Google reviews run from 2021 to last month, all five stars, and the same names keep reappearing — a July 2026 review describes a client working with Ilya for the second time, eight years after their first house together. The strongest reviews describe sales other teams might not want. As executor for an ill relative's estate, one client had Kimberly and Ilya line up the repairs needed to make a hoarder-condition house saleable and then carry the deal through an FHA buyer — a process with its own extra paperwork. A different seller managed the whole thing from a distance, with the team handling renovations, staging, furniture disposal and a final cleaning themselves and closing in under six weeks despite two rounds of buyer negotiation. Buyers describe a similar instinct for the unglamorous parts of a deal: a 2024 review mentions Ilya and his team showing up to open houses on short notice, and a 2023 review credits him with connecting buyers to attorneys and mortgage contacts. Condo sales in Cambridge come up more than once — a 2021 review describes a client who bought with Ilya and, five years later while living in California, sold the same unit through him again. Nothing in the written record raises a concern — no dispute, no regulatory action, no negative review to weigh against the rest. For a sale complicated by an estate, a renovation, or a long-distance move, the pattern in these reviews is a team that takes on the extra legwork rather than handing it back.
This is our second time working with Ilya since he was our realtor for our first home buying process as well 8 years ago. We had the pleasure of working with him again along with Kimberly and Kristine, who were amazing as well. They are a great team together all making it as efficient, organized, and seamless as possible in an otherwise highly stressful time. Thank you for your continued patience & expertise working with us to buy our long term home!!
I was not present during the sale process, so the complete process from initial property review to closing, including necessary renovations, staging, furniture disposal and final cleaning was handled by Mr Rasner and his team. The process was performed very efficiently and fast, it was finished in less than 6 weeks including negotiations with two potential buyers and 2 weeks I needed to prepare necessary documents. I am extreamly satisfied and would gladly recommend Mr. Rasner and his team.
Ilya and Kimberly are the absolute best. I was the executor for an estate of an ill relative who was a massive hoarder and whose house required tremendous repairs to make saleable. Kimberly and Ilya managed the entire project providing me with multiple names for each job necessary. If that was not enough the house became an FHA deal and that required extra work. They communicated regularly, acted in my behalf and not the behalf of their wallets. I have bought and sold a great many homes and have never dealt with anyone better than them. Don't hesitate they are the best AND they are really nice people to deal with.
I can’t recommend Ilya and his team highly enough! From start to finish, they made the home buying process not only seamless but genuinely enjoyable. Ilya strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and approachability, always responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and with a great sense of humor that puts you at ease. His entire team mirrors that same level of excellence and care. If you’re looking for an agent who’s on top of every detail and makes the journey fun along the way, Ilya is the one to call!
Working with Ilya and Kimberly was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. As a first-time buyer, I had high expectations, and they exceeded every one of them. THANK YOU BOTH!
