Overview
Boston Realty Advisors’ about page says the firm was founded in 2001, is privately held and controlled by two partners, Jason S. Weissman and William H. Catlin, Jr., and is at 136 Newbury Street, Boston, MA 02116. The page says it offers capital markets, tenant and landlord representation, and corporate and nonprofit leasing. BBB lists Business Started 1/1/2006 and incorporated 12/8/2016 as an LLC. Those dates conflict with 2001. The scored year is the firm’s 2001 claim. The BBB dates are not used. No BBB page URL was part of this reading.

Years in business, weight 20, 10 points. The about page says “Founded in 2001.” Age from 2001 to 2026 is 25 years, which is the 20-or-more band (10 points). That is the firm’s own claim, so it is not an independent source. BBB lists Business Started 1/1/2006 and incorporated 12/8/2016 as an LLC, which conflicts with 2001. The scored year is the firm’s 2001 claim. The BBB dates are not used. No BBB page URL was part of this reading. Boston Realty Advisors About page

Methodology and sources
Method note and sources
This score uses the boutique public-evidence rubric: state license (25), professional directory (20), verifiable transactions (20), years in business (20) and public reviews (15). A number is published only when at least two criteria have a source and at least one of those sources is independent of the firm. With exactly two sourced criteria the score is capped at 9.0; a 10.0 needs at least three. Self-reported career totals and review claims we have not read are not inputs.
