Strategic Execution for Boston Real Estate
Delivering an efficient, transparent, and personal real estate experience across Boston.
What We Do
Z.V.I Realty was founded on a simple premise: to make Boston real estate more personal, transparent, and enjoyable. We are a team of driven agents, students, and young professionals who saw an opportunity to deliver a higher standard of service.
Our focus is on strategic execution—whether that means navigating the complexities of student housing, meeting landlord needs, or identifying prime investment opportunities. We believe great real estate is about building lasting relationships, not just closing deals. It's about people, not just properties.
Brokerage
We don't just help students and professionals find apartments: we guide you to your ideal Boston home through a personalized, tech-enhanced process that feels effortless. From verified listings via our partners to roommate matching and lease support, we're with you every step, turning stress into excitement.
Property Management
For owners, we deliver peace of mind with hands-on management that treats your property like our own. From tenant placement and 24/7 support to maintenance coordination and financial reporting, we handle the details so you can focus on growth, ensuring happy tenants and optimized performance.
Investment Opportunities
We spot hidden gems in multifamily, mixed-use, and retail properties across Greater Boston, then unlock their potential through strategic leasing and repositioning. Backed by our in-house brokerage and management, we turn overlooked assets into high-performing opportunities: efficiently, intelligently, and with a long-term vision for real value creation.

What Our Clients Say
I was struggling to rent my four-bed after missing the student rush. Michael said he'd take care of it and within two weeks, he found respectful, on-time tenants. When an issue came up at another property, he showed up within minutes to help. That kind of reliability is rare in this market.
We had an amazing experience working with Michael Kopeld and ZVI Realty while searching (very last minute) for an apartment close to Northeastern. Michael is knowledgeable about the Boston rental market and what would realistically work for our budget and timeline. Great communication throughout it all. It was a huge relief to have his guidance, especially since I could not be there in person to search with my student for off campus housing. Will definitely use again.
It was our first time renting, and Michael guided us like pros. He knew exactly which areas fit us, lined up the right options, and negotiated every request with the landlord. We ended up in the perfect place without a single headache.
I found Michael through a Northeastern parents group after a few bad experiences. Even though we were late in the January cycle, he explained everything clearly, set expectations, and had my son in a fantastic apartment within a week.
We were in a difficult spot, and Mike G. was endlessly patient. He toured nearly twenty homes with us, never pushed, and still negotiated great lease terms. Thanks to him, our family finally found a home we love.
I've worked with many brokers across different markets, but Michael stands apart. He knows the Boston market inside and out, communicates clearly, and executes with total integrity. You can trust him to get it done… the right way.
Finding housing for my Northeastern University student in Boston felt overwhelming, but Michael made the entire experience easy and seamless. He understood what mattered to me as a mom and helped my son find an apartment in a beautiful, modern building. I couldn't recommend him more!
We live overseas and had no idea where to start. Michael walked us through the Boston process, toured every apartment himself, and FaceTimed us from each one. He turned an impossible search into an easy, personal experience.
