About Us

Hotbostonrentals.com is resource for Bostonians (and potential Bostonians) to use while searching apartment rentals, home sales, and general information around the Metropolitan area. Boston is the best city in the USA as far as we're concerned due to its size, frequency of events, history, and beautiful location near the water. It's the perfect walking city and is much smaller than New York City, but big enough that it has all the same exciting events and activities.

This website was designed in 2006 by Christian Polleys, who is a licensed Realtor of Kunevich and Lau Real Estate. He is the primary owner and operator of the sites affairs. Christian is a Economics/Finance student studying at Northeastern University, and has rented numerous apartments in the Quincy/Braintree area, Downtown Boston, and West of the City. The website is constantly being upgraded with new features and browsing elements to show you the best options before choosing your new apartment or home. There's so much out there, and we like to share it all with no hassles.

Our site is updated at least bi-weekly if not more, and we offer superior knowledge of your options. We use numerous resources online and in print. If it's not listed here, chances are we know where to find it. Please check back from time to time to see the changes we make and feel free to offer any comments on how we could improve the site to better serve our customers/clients

Frequently Asked Questions

RENTALS

Q: There aren't any three bedrooms listed on your site. Do you have any?
A: Yes. Many of the properties we work with have three bedroom options, but since they're less popular, we choose not to list them.

Q: What is a typical apartment showing like?
A: Generally we schedule an appointment for the afternoon, then visit 2-5 properties of your choice. We'l pick you up, or you can follow us in your own vehicle, and along the way you'll be introduced to property owners, and other leasing agents that are trying to rent thier apartments.

Q: Why do your maps only bring me to general towns/locations?
A: We do not share exact property locations, since our business relies on the tours we offer. Please read the following question for further details...

Q: Where is ___(property name)___ located?
A: We'd love to give you addresses and phone numbers, but can't for two reasons. One is that property managers prefer refering agents to bring thier clients along for the tour. It's a more professional and secure way of doing business. Secondly, if you visit the property on your own, theres no way to ensure our services are compensated for.
