Greater Boston Properties Inc. (GBP) - Since 1977 Greater Boston Properties has been a full service residential real estate firm.

Our goal has been to provide customer satisfaction through personalized service, professionalism, efficient operations and asset management. Greater Boston Properties has built a strong reputation by providing owners and residents with personalized service while maximizing value and efficiency. Because of this we are proud to say that we still manage a majority of the properties that we managed when the business was started over 30 years ago.

Greater Boston Properties recognizes that effective management requires an intense level of commitment by an experienced, professional staff. All of our Property Managers have had extensive training and experience in all areas of residential real estate. Add to this the experience of the accounting, sales & leasing and maintenance personnel and it is obvious that the cumulative expertise of Greater Boston Properties provides a wealth of knowledge to meet the challenges encountered in all aspects of residential real estate.

The goal of Greater Boston Properties is customer satisfaction. We believe that our client is not just the Trustees of the properties we manage or the Investors but also the people who own or reside there as well. Therefore we must satisfy not only the Clients needs but also those of the residents if we are to meet our goal of complete customer satisfaction. Through consistent day to day monitoring of the property, planning for the long term financial and maintenance needs of the property and encouraging resident participation, we are able to meet this objective.

Apartment Management

Investment Management
Greater Boston Properties is in its 30th year of professionally managing apartment buildings of all sizes in the greater Boston area. Becky Long, Manager of Investment Services, oversees our investment portfolio with a personal touch making each landlord and each tenant feel important.

Landlord Services
At Greater Boston Properties we professionally work with all of our landlords and investors to ensure maximum potential from every unit and building we manage. Becky Long knows each of our investors and is available everyday to answer questions and concerns regarding your property. From the time we begin managing your investment we cater to all of your needs and maintain and enhance property value by working with you to understand market trends and be proactive about anticipated changes. We screen all applicants for our landlords and work within parameters set by you for each site. Our staff is well oriented with state and local laws to properly guide you through the rental process. Becky Long personally meets with every tenant to sign and review the lease and make certain that the rules and regulations for each property are understood before any tenant is allowed to move in. With the student population in the city of Boston we are very clear that when they rent from Greater Boston Properties that they are renting someone’s investment. In all of our buildings whether they are an investment property or a single unit within a condominium association, we clearly and strongly advise the tenants to respect the unit, to respect the common areas and to also know that some residents actually own their units as in a condominium association. We follow up with our investors and keep an open line of communication with reports and sound investment advice.

Tenant Services
At Greater Boston Properties we screen all the applicants using the highest standards and offering equal opportunity to all of our tenants. When the tenant signs the lease Becky Long personally reviews each section to be sure that the tenant comprehends their responsibility under the lease in full. We are available during regular business hours for day-to-day concerns and we answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure that emergencies are dealt with in a timely manner.

Landlord/Tenant Relations
We strive to offer the best possible communications between our landlords and tenants. Our maintenance department handles day-to-day issues in the units to ensure that all of the tenants needs are met daily. Our goal is to be sure that our tenants and landlords feel important every day.
