We market your rental, screen for qualified tenants, and get it leased fast across Newton, Watertown, Waltham, and the surrounding towns.
An empty unit costs you money every day it sits. We get rentals leased quickly and to the right tenant by pricing them correctly, marketing them everywhere renters actually look, and screening every applicant before anyone signs. PH Realty Group leases properties across Watertown, Waltham, Newton, Cambridge, and the rest of the inner ring, week in and week out.
If you want your unit filled once with a strong tenant, that is tenant placement, and that is this page. If you would rather hand off rent collection, maintenance, and the day to day entirely, that is property management, and we do that too. And if you are looking to add units rather than just lease the ones you already own, start with investing.
Renting out a property with PH Realty Group is a full service process handled start to finish, in seven steps: professional media, an interactive virtual tour, syndication to over 100 rental sites, screening, competitive group showings, deep verification through Intellirent, and lease execution. The marketing is strong enough that you are not hoping the right applicant shows up. You attract a deep pool of qualified prospects and lease to one who pays on time, treats the place well, and stays.
We come to your property and produce a full media package: professional photos, a walkthrough video, interactive floor plans, and drone shots that show off the location, yard, and exterior. Strong media is what makes your unit stand out in a crowded feed and pulls in serious renters.
We attach an interactive virtual tour to every listing. Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, and the other portals reward listings with virtual tours, ranking them higher and sending far more views. More visibility means more qualified applicants, faster leases, and in competitive situations, prospects offering above asking just to stand out.
Your listing goes live on more than 100 rental platforms at once. If someone is looking for a unit like yours, they will find it, and because the media and listing quality are so strong, it will be near the top of the page when they do.
Every inquiry is screened on the same set of questions before anyone sees the unit. We confirm move in timeline, income and employment relative to the rent, and whether the unit fits what they are looking for, so the showings are filled with prospects the unit actually works for. The same criteria apply to every applicant.
We run showings like an open house, with everyone at the same time. When a prospect walks in and sees others interested in the same unit, the dynamic shifts. Applications come in immediately, and in strong markets prospects offer above asking on the spot. Instead of one application to take or leave, you get a full slate, so you can move forward with the strongest, most qualified one.
Every applicant goes through our screening portal. We pull complete credit reports with every trade line, delinquency, and current balance, verify employment directly with the employer, and contact current and former landlords by questionnaire and by phone. We verify income against pay stubs and tax returns, then compile everything into a clean summary, so you get the full picture without doing the work.
Once you approve a tenant, we handle the lease electronically through Dotloop using a Massachusetts lease with our own addendum covering utilities, house rules, and any property specific terms, all signable from a phone or laptop. We coordinate the deposit in whatever format works for you, then send a formal introduction connecting you and your new tenant and help with the key handoff.
Great marketing does not just rent the unit. It fills your pipeline with qualified, reliable applicants, so the tenant you hand the keys to is one you are glad to have.
PH Realty Group follows all federal and Massachusetts fair housing laws. Every applicant is evaluated by the same objective criteria.
Why Owners List With PH Realty Group
Both start the same way. The difference is what happens after a great tenant is in place.
PH Realty Group is a licensed Massachusetts real estate brokerage, broker license 9630770-RE-LC, and a member of MLS PIN, the MLS that powers the Greater Boston market. Your rental is handled by a named local team led by broker Ethan Piani-Hohmann, not handed off to a call center or a national lead service. Meet the team, or read what owners and renters have to say in our client reviews.

Send us the details on your unit and we will price it, market it, and screen for a tenant you will be glad to hand the keys to. If you would rather have the whole thing off your plate, ask us about full management instead.
It depends on the unit, the price, and the time of year, but a correctly priced rental in a strong inner ring town tends to lease quickly, especially during the busy spring and summer leasing season. The fastest way to sit on the market is to overprice, so we price to the current market from day one and adjust quickly if showing activity tells us something.
Every applicant goes through the same screening process before anyone signs. We verify income, review credit and rental history, and confirm employment, then present you the full picture so you make the final call. The goal is a tenant who pays on time and takes care of the unit, not just the first person to apply.
Tenant placement means we market the unit, run the showings, screen applicants, and handle the lease, then you take over once a qualified tenant is in place. Property management is the ongoing service, where we handle rent collection, maintenance, renewals, and the day to day for the life of the tenancy. Many owners start with placement and move to full management as their portfolio grows.
We price from current market data, recent comparable rentals, and what we are seeing in real time on our own listings, then weigh the condition, layout, and features of your unit. The aim is the highest rent the market will actually pay quickly, because an overpriced unit that sits costs you far more than pricing it right from the start.
Your listing goes on the MLS through MLS PIN and syndicates out to the major rental portals where renters actually search, including Zillow and the sites that pull from the MLS. Broad, accurate exposure is what drives showings, and showings are what get a unit leased.
Yes. We coordinate and run the showings so you are not fielding calls and meeting strangers at your property, and we manage the application process end to end, including the paperwork and screening, so the only decision left to you is which qualified applicant to approve.
Yes. We can begin marketing and scheduling showings before your current tenant moves out, as long as we coordinate access with proper notice, so the unit is positioned to lease with little or no vacancy gap. Lining up the next tenant before the current lease ends is one of the simplest ways to protect your income.
Yes. Massachusetts law prohibits refusing a tenant based on their lawful source of income, including housing vouchers such as Section 8 or MRVP, and we market and screen every qualified applicant on the same terms regardless of how the rent is paid. We will walk you through how the voucher inspection and approval process works so there are no surprises.
Placement gets a qualified tenant signed and moved in. Renewals, rent adjustments, and the ongoing relationship are part of full property management. If you would rather we manage the renewal each year than handle it yourself, that is the management service and we are glad to take it on.
Leasing fees are agreed up front and depend on the scope of what you need, so there are no surprises. Reach out with your property details and we will give you a clear, straightforward breakdown before you commit to anything.
Just the basics to begin: the address, the unit details, your timeline, and access for photos and showings. We handle the listing, the marketing, the showings, and the screening from there. If the unit is occupied, we will also coordinate notice and access with your current tenant.
We lease across the inner ring of Greater Boston, with particular depth in Watertown, Waltham, Newton, Belmont, Arlington, Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville, and Brighton, and we work the surrounding towns as well. If your rental is in or near Greater Boston, we can help.
