Don’t become victim to a rental scam
Renter Beware!
A person has been looking everywhere for an apartment or house to rent. There aren’t any available in the area they’d like to live. When they do find something that suits them, it costs more than they want or are able to pay. Finally, they find something listed online in an ideal location and for a great price. They are excited and want to act quickly to secure it. They may even drive by the provided address to make sure it is truly something they want to pursue. Without hesitation, they provide their personal information, possibly their social security number for a required credit check. They may even wire money as a deposit to further guarantee securing the unit. (more…)

253 Norfolk Street – Unit 1-5 Cambridge, MA
Sold in August 2015.
Stylish condo in the “Chocolate Factory” – a circa 1875 brick/post and beam factory building that was once home to the Russell & Co. & Gobelin Chocolate companies (1905-1946). Located on a tree lined street near Inman Square between Broadway and Hampshire, this condo with one deeded outdoor parking space is an easy walk to the Red Line, MIT, and Harvard. Converted to condos late in the 1990s, many of the building’s original, iconic features – brick work and exposed beams – have been thoughtfully preserved.
There are two buildings and twenty three units in the complex. It is professionally managed and has been well maintained. Heat and hot water are included in the monthly fee. (more…)
