Ditto here- no broker needed. Note that over 50% of leases in Boston turn over on Sept 1, so you may have some luck looking at subleasing as well.

Depends what neighborhood you’re looking. Zillow is a good option for all around. South Boston Real Estate is a Facebook group specific to Southie and it’s more of people needing an extra roommate to fill a spot so usually no broker fee.

Craigslist is still very popular too. Going straight to large building leasing offices works as well if you have some $$

Is there a situation where using a real estate is necessary? Or looking on my own should be fine?

Thanks all!

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

If you’re hoping to find a housing deal, you’re out of luck in the short term.
Maybe if you can deal with the higher payments for the next 3 years and sell/refinance above today’s prices you’ll be ok, but this isn’t going to be pretty.

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
