Before You Move in

Research your Realtor

Keep in mind only licensed brokers are allowed to charge you a broker’s fee when securing an apartment. Need to make sure the realtor you’re working with has a valid license in the state of Massachusetts? See if their license is valid using this link, a tool managed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Research your Apartment, Landowners, or Property Manager

You can research your new apartment or an apartment you are interested in to get a comprehensive background report on the property owner, property, landowners and property managers.
