Check out https://www.ownup.com for finding a lender. Local startup. Good experience using them recently.

Thalia tringo realty was great when I was buying.

We used Redfin as our buyers agent and Guaranteed Rate for the loan. Both were great. Guaranteed Rate sent us updated pre-approval letters almost immediately which you'll need every time you put in an offer. With the limited selection in the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville market (in our price range) we didn't feel like we needed a traditional real estate agent and it was a nice bonus to get that Redfin refund check.

Real estate agent: Heidi Shenker is no-pressure and responds very quickly; she's helped us with rentals and and a condo purchase. She usually communicates by phone and is not the most thorough in email responses. [http://www.hsreboston.com/](http://www.hsreboston.com/about/) Lender: Jon Dunalp finds a good deal, also communicates quickly/frequently but mostly by phone, followed through well and put up with some last-minute changes w/o hassle as well as tangentially noticing an issue with our insurance. Very talkative. [jon.dunlap@fairwaymc.com](mailto:jon.dunlap@fairwaymc.com) We did not have a good experience with Jason Deeb at MSA mortgage. And related, real estate lawyer: Jason Cohen at Pressman and Kruskal. Clear and quick email (or phone) communication, followed through as expected on the purchase and also helped w/ some followup work.

Agent - [Illya Rasner.](https://www.rasnergroup.com/) We've purchased 2 homes (a Somerville condo and an Acton single family) from him and he's done rentals for us. He's absolutely fantastic to work with and I've recommended at least 3 other people to him that have also loved him. He was with us through 6 offers in the nutso Somerville market. Lender - [Matthew Miller at Leader Bank](https://www.leaderloancenter.com/loan-officers/matthew-miller/) he's done 2 purchases and 3 refinances for us (2 of them during covid) and he's amazing. Makes the whole process quick, easy and painless.

I have had good luck with mortgages from both Eastern and Citizens in the last two years (one was a refi). Some mortgage advice, especially if you are in jumbo territory: try to find a couple of hungry/aggressive loan officers at a few different banks. Get offers from each and ask them to beat the other. Many will. If you are not in jumbo $$$ you can also use a broker to do this, but with jumbos you are often looking at portfolio loans (banks keep them on their books, they don't package/securitize and sell) and IME you're much better with loan officers than brokers in that case. Remember you do not need to get multiple pre-approvals, and there is no reason to get your mortgage from the same lender as your pre-approval. If you have any significant financial assets, ask about relationship discounts (assets could be cash, equities, mutual funds, or even products within a Roth or traditional IRA depending on the bank). This can get you 1/8, 1/4 or more off your rate in the right situations.

Thalia Tringo and also I had a great experience with Winter Hill Bank after dealing with a big national bank prior.

Ditch the buy side agents. It’s going to make it a lot easier buying from whoever is representing the seller in this market. There’s so much competition and it’s only human nature for the selling agent to want the whole deal if they can get it. Money is money, they can’t get you the place for a cut rate, but if you’re close they may give you some inside info that helps you win. I agree with the above re: internet lender. Get the best rate for yourself.

I’ve used Guaranteed Rate for both my mortgage and refinance and they made it super easy.

Hi! I literally just went through this over the past 2-3 weeks. I got preapproved through Guaranteed Rate with Rick Harrington (Rick.Harrington@grarate.com) and ended up applying for the mortgage with Leader Bank with Patrick Walsh (pwalsh@leaderbank.com). Both are stand up professionals and I so enjoyed working with both of them. They spent significant time over email/phone with me answering all of my questions. LB just gave us better terms at the end of the day. ETA: both GR/LB contacts are local, which is super important to the pre-approval and offer process as I learned taking a first time home buyer's class (at Thalia Tringo - though we didn't use them as our agent), as they were able to flip offer letters almost instantaneously.

Dave Conti at Leader Bank for lending. Quick, informative, knowledgeable.

What's your price range? In the area you're looking, a 4BR is going to be upwards of $2500. If you want "luxury" and close to the T in a neighborhood where your bike won't be stolen every other week, $3500+.

If being on the T isn't super important, try Watertown.

Honestly, I think you're just gonna have to raise your budget even if it will be difficult for you. I can't even find a 3 bedroom for less than 2200, even in some of the stereotypically not-as-nice areas.

http://padmapper.com I plugged in your requirements and honestly there is next to nothing. Maybe more will pop up later this month. I'd watch the site. The "For Rent" section of http://trulia.com has some stuff in your range, though, but in Eastie/Roxbury/Dot/Mission Hill

Is it just two of you? Why are you looking for a four bedroom?

Price range?

Jason Francoeur!

Nneren.com will get you looking at houses!!!
