Malin Realty

My son worked with Katie to find an apartment in Somerville or Cambridge. Katie’s communication and follow up made me and the other parties very comfortable with the whole process. As a result of her diligence and relentlessness she found the perfect apartment that fit all of my requirements.
Once my son rented the apartment the Malin Group was very responsive to all of our needs. We would highly recommend them if you are looking for a quality apartment, that is reasonable and the landlord is responsive.

We lived in an apartment owned and managed by Malin Realty for two years, and overall it was our best rental experience around Boston (my two fellow renters agree).
They are always easy to get a hold of and are very responsive. They proactively reach out whenever they will be doing work in one of the buildings they manage, and take better care of their properties than most landlords in the area, including landscaping and snow removal.
We really appreciated the fact that it is a family business and got to know all of them during our tenancy. They were always very reasonable and decent people to work with. They also have a very nice-​sized operation, with a dedicated work crew which you will not find from landlords that only own one or two properties. However, they are still small enough that they can really get to know their tenants and you never feel like you are dealing with a large company just trying to move people through and maximize profits.
We are now homeowners, but if we are ever back in the rental market, we will definitely turn to Malin first.

Ralph was a great land lord. I rented from him for two years. He’s good about getting things fixed quickly and turned over the apartment freshly painted.

I rented from Ralph Malin for 2 years. He was good to talk to, fixed problems fast (he’s got a good crew), and was very understanding.
He was flexible with subletting, and understanding when I started building things in the basement (I neither recommend nor endorse this, however).
The apartments are well maintained, updated, and a good place to live. There was no problem with getting our security deposit back, even though things were not totally clean (he’s got a cleaning crew too)

great people working with them, which is mostly family. & they are there for you and your needs. very kind & thoughtful.
