Testimonials

  • “When our daughter was planning to go to school in Boston, we asked a friend who lives there if he could recommend a realtor. He recommended Joe Schutt without hesitation. On our first trip to Boston, Joe spent an entire day showing us Boston proper and the neighborhoods that he felt were best suited for our daughter. We saw the property that we ended up purchasing on that first day. Joe's personal knowledge of the different areas was invaluable in finding the right condo in the right neighborhood and at the right price. Without Joe we would have been totally lost. After two years and a completed masters degree, our daughter left Boston. We again contacted Joe Schutt but this time to market the condo for us. Joe got the condo sold at a nice profit. Our experience with Joe was totally positive. Communication was excellent as was his availability. We always received responses in a timely manner. I can without any reservation, recommend Joe Schutt to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Boston area.”

He was always positive, sincere, responsive, and went the extra mile every time. It's easy to see that truly enjoys working with his clients. He has great insight and knowledge of the Boston marketplace and was a trusted advisor throughout the process. I received superior service and would highly recommend Joe.”

  • “We have worked with Joe Schutt on 3 transactions (2 purchases, 1 sale) over the course of 6 years and we would absolutely work with him again. He is the most reasonable, strategic, and easy going real estate professional we have worked with, and we've had experience with 2 other agents in the Boston area. He is also very well connected in the market and helped us secure a phenomenal attorney, mortgage lender, and other service providers we needed during the course of our simultaneous purchase / move-in and sale / move-out. I would use THOSE people again as well! For the recent sale of our condo, Joe walked us through multiple data points and a solid explanation of the variables and options to ultimately land us on a very specific pricing strategy - we pushed him on whether we should be more aggressive given the "hotness" of the market, but he convinced us to stay true to his proposed strategy... and he ultimately ended up being completely right. We had multiple competitive offers and had a tremendous amount of leverage going into our final offer selection process. The last thing I'll say is that Joe is just a good person. Never once did we feel uncomfortable, that he was being too aggressive or pushy, that he was being lazy, or that he was misrepresenting anything about himself or the process. I unfortunately need to make these qualifications given some of our past experiences! We would strongly recommend Joe and hope to work with him again for our future real estate needs.”

  • “Joe is very knowledgeable about the "latest and greatest" when it comes to making the whole process of selling as quick and easy as possible. I like that he keeps up with the latest trends such as DocuSign, Google share and Updater. He demonstrated just the right amount of concern for my concerns, was always just a text away, and was prompt in his responses. His calm demeanor kept me calm and realistic in my expectations. Not only was Joe quick to respond to me, but if he wasn't immediately available his partner Erik let me know if there was going to be a bit of a delay before I'd hear back from Joe or Erik would help me with the issue at hand. Great team work! I am very particular in my choices in business matters. Joe fulfilled all of my expectations and more! I will recommend Joe and Erik to friends and family. Not only was Joe quick to respond to me, but if he wasn't immediately available his partner Erik let me know if there was going to be a bit of a delay before I'd hear back from Joe or Erik would help me with the issue at hand. Great team work!”

  • “I'd worked with Joe when purchasing our condo in Bay Village in 2008, and he helped us find a renter when we moved out for a few years. Despite that, selling a home is a big deal, and before automatically working with UNIT we did some diligence and talked with a number of other brokers who also work in Bay Village. We decided to give UNIT the listing because Joe (besides being a nice, approachable guy) was able to articulate both a clear pricing strategy and the most up-to-date digital marketing strategy of anyone we talked to. Since we'd just bought our new home in Cambridge and had relied heavily on digital tools that was very important. Joe helped us find a listing price that would draw interest. The UNIT team did a great job presenting the property - in particular, the photography of the unit was really top-notch. It presented the unit attractively but honestly (no fish-eye lenses or other tricks that would have left me disappointed as a buyer). We got the listing done in just over a week, and Joe did a great job helping deal with various minor crises along the way including one the day of the open house. The pricing, marketing and follow up all worked, and we ended up with five offers all of which were at least 6% over asking. We ended up accepting one for 14% over our initial asking price. Joe did a great job on follow-up as well, including a 6am Lowes run the day of the fire inspection to re-wire our older smoke detectors, just to be on the safe side. All in all - a great experience. This is the third property I've sold and we've had some real issues with past brokers. Not so this time!”

  • “As a young couple with comparatively limited financial resources, we were not sure whether it would be possible to purchase a home in Beacon Hill, a desirable neighborhood where properties generate multiple cash offers (for tens of thousands of dollars over asking price) within days of being listed for sale. After looking for over a year, we found our dream home, but never imagined it would be ours as there were 26 showings the first day. Against all odds, Joe Schutt was able to get our offer accepted before the open house - employing his knowledge of the market to guide us with respect to the amount to bid and his relationship with the other broker to convey to the seller that we were responsible, well-qualified buyers who had long-standing ties to the neighborhood and would be a wonderful fit for the building. We moved in last week and are still pinching ourselves. Joe went above and beyond to facilitate all aspects of the sale and there is simply no way we would have been able to purchase our home had we gone with any other realtor. We are enormously grateful for all that he has done for us and cannot recommend him highly enough.”

  • “Joe Schutt was amazing to work with. I definitely could not have survived the year-long househunting process without his patience and trustworthy advice at many, many points along the way. As a first-time buyer, the condo market in Boston was daunting. Joe guided me through a series of good decisions that culminated in an end result with which I am extremely pleased. As the process unfolded, Joe never pressured me into any decisions, even though it might have been in his interest to do so. He always gave very balanced advice and his perspectives were informed by deep knowledge of the Boston and South End markets and a commitment to understanding my needs and objectives, which evolved slightly over the course of the year. Joe's patience and disinterested advice stood out to me as relatively uncommon in the real estate business, which makes these qualities all the more valuable to his clients. Joe also knows everyone in Boston, and other brokers who know him personally or by reputation commented to me that he is not only extremely good at what he does but is also completely reliable and steadfast. Because of historically low inventory levels in Boston, the househunting process took somewhat longer than I expected, but Joe made it fun and, in the end, our patience was rewarded. Simply put, Joe deserves his reputation as the best of the best.”

I don't live in the area of the property so a "full service" broker was key for me and Joe and Erik totally delivered and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Joe and Erik were able to coordinate everything related to getting the unit ready for sale so I didn't have to worry. Also, excellent overall communication skills and consistent contact with me regarding the process and updates were critical for me and Joe Schutt was top notch in this area as we moved through the process. I have already recommended him to a friend!”

  • “My husband and I relocated to Boston and needed to close on our new place within 60-90 days of contacting Unit Realty. On top of that, my husband had already moved to Boston while I stayed in Philadelphia, so my time in the Boston area over the course of the home search was extremely limited. Joe Schutt understood our unique situation, and was able to make best use of my time while I was in town. He spent two entire days educating us about all of the different areas, and the challenges we would face in each. He was able to open our eyes to new areas we had not considered, and in the end, helped us quickly find a great place within our time constraints. He was absolutely fantastic in facilitating as smooth a transition as possible, and we could not have been more thankful for his assistance during this hectic time. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know!”

Moreover, Joe is solution focused, and that is hard to find in a Realtor, especially when the economy has taken a dip. He works hard and effectively, and gets results.
