We were so lucky to work with Rob when we were looking for a new apartment during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were moving across the country, so we weren't able to see any apartments in person. Rob gave us thorough FaceTime tours, was trustworthy and honest, answered all of our questions, and ended up finding us a home we love. We could not have done this without him!

Rob was great to work with. He helped us find a place that met our needs, and then helped us communicate with the landlord about some questions we had. Throughout the process, he was responsive, helpful, and clear. Rob clearly knew the property/landlord/neighborhood that he was showing, and his experience made the whole process go very smoothly. I would highly recommend Rob!

Rob helped my husband and me get both an apartment and commercial space in JP and we could not be happier! Rob was super professional, attentive, and responsive. He really listened to what we wanted and sent us listings that matched those needs. We had many questions and he was very willing to answer all of them, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend JP Rentals!

. . . always goes above and beyond, helping out with issues even *after* the lease is signed. They remember the people they rent to even when years go by without seeing them and they always have the best places in JP. We love them and will certainly be back whenever we need to move again!

The experience I had at was so incredibly excellent that I haven't had to move since; this is rather extraordinary, as I had previously moved every, single year for five years straight. I'm about to sign my third lease at my place in Jamaica Plain, and I have to say, it feels like a personal record of sorts.
