You can expect superior service from A&S Realty, and more specifically, from Valerie Filiberto. I recently worked with Val so I could find an apartment, and she delivered with exactly what I was looking for. She was an excellent communicator and helped make my move seamless. I highly recommend reaching out to Valerie at A&S realty to help find your next home.

I've worked with Val to buy my first property(a condo in beacon hill) and more recently in my search for my first home. Val is a rockstar. I've also worked with Justin who manages my neighbors unit. Justin is also amazing to work with and I know my neighbors are happy to have him manage their unit. If you are looking for a great property management company or Realtor I highly recommend working with A&S the level of customer service they provide is beyond compare.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Val. She advised us on the best way to structure our offer within our constraints. She was also super helpful throughout - communicating with the seller and the loan officer - making sure everything kept on track and on schedule. She was also able to recommend and connect us with a great home inspector and closing attorney. Highly suggest talking with her.

Val of A&S Realty has helped me find two homes over the last two years. First, she helped me relocate back from NYC to Boston into a rental and then a year later helped me buy a condo (both in the North End although we also shopped Seaport and South End). Val is the absolute best! She goes above and beyond and makes the often overwhelming home search process a simple, stress-free (and even enjoyable) one! I've moved 5 times over the last 8 years, and Val was by far my best experience with a real estate agent. She is extremely knowledgeable and good at her job - hard working, responsive

Joel, Val, and the entire A&S Realty group are the standards every real estate and building management company should attempt to live up to. Val is the most genuine and kind agent Ive ever come across in my 10 years living in Boston and Joel is truly more reliable than you could ever hope for in building management. Val helped me find such a wonderful apartment in Back Bay and her friendly and honest demeanor were such high selling points that I couldnt help but refer as many folks as I could to her over my 4 years on Comm Ave. And if there were ever any apartment issues or problems I needed
