Rory P. has been extremely helpful in moving from a self-managed to a property management company. He is attentive to issues and dealing with tenant concerns. Additionally, he has made the sale of properties easy.

Stacey Khoury-Diaz

Coakley Realty helped me get a tenant for my commercial space during the very challenging Covid market. They were communicative, easy to work with, and made the process low maintenance for me. On top of that, they also manage a residential property for me. In that role, they have been equally reliable, flexible, and helpful.

Janice Rollins

I have worked with Michelle Gray on one project that started with a rental property. She continues to work with me over time and assists me with plans to buy. She is very knowledgeable, very patient and states the facts very clearly. It is nice to know that Coakley Realty provides the benefit of an established and resourceful business with longevity.
