In March 2015, I purchased a 5 bedroom 3.5 bath home from Pittsburgh Property Guy in the city's…read moreeast end. The 90 year old home was completely stripped down to the studs and renovated by Pittsburgh Property Guy. After living in the house for nearly a year, I can attest to the very high level of quality and craftsmanship that he put into this home. The home inspector even commented to me prior to purchasing that he's seen a lot of renovated homes, and this one was clearly done right. He used high end finishes like Brazilian Cherry floors, granite kitchen counters, and marble in the master bathroom. He also took the time to have the brick cleaned on the outside of the house, exposed and restored original woodwork, vaulted the 3rd floor to create even more livable space. Everywhere you look, you can see that time and thought was put into the final product. It's been so nice having friends and family comment on the beauty and quality of the renovation too! Aside from the quality craftsmanship, Pittsburgh Property Guy himself provided top notch customer service to me when I had questions or minor issues that I encountered. He worked with me directly via phone and email, and was always very quick to respond. It was clear that my happiness as his customer was important to him, and that's not something that should be overlooked! If you're thinking about buying one of his properties, you're in safe hands.

My wife and I owned rental property in Pittsburgh, PA that had been vacant for several years. We…read morelive in another state and owning this property became a huge financial burden and we no longer wanted it. The property needed lots of repair work and the cost of maintaining it was piling up. I reached out to a few investors in the area regarding selling the property and was extremely grateful that I connected with Nick from the Pittsburgh Property Guy Team. When I spoke to Nick, I immediately felt comfortable. He was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly and offered solutions. Thanks to him, the entire process was smooth, quick and easy. He kept me updated every step of the way from the time they made an offer to close. It was a pleasure doing business with the Pittsburgh Property Guy Team and we highly recommend their services to anyone.

RPM Pittsburgh has been managing my house for 6 months and I am quite happy with their services…read more I'd recommend them to a friend. Pros: - They take care of all repairs and let me know about any unexpected costs as they happen. - They scheduled extra work (termites, fall maintenance) when I asked for it, took care of everything. - I get a monthly statement about income. When the statements look confusing I email RPM and they always explain the charges/income. - Direct deposit to my bank account. Cons: - It took them a few months to replace the garage door on my house, which didn't affect me much but might have made the tenants a bit unhappy. - Sometimes it can take a few days for my property manager to get back to me via email.

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY. RED FLAGS IMMEDIATELY UPON MOVE IN CONTINUE TO WORSEN. I cannot…read morerecommend Real Property Management (RPM) based on my move-in experience. It's been 24 hours and a total nightmare move-in! My new place is absolutely inhabitable upon move in-and there is zero concern from Claudette, my property manager, who has been dodging my urgent correspondences. Before my lease began, I repeatedly asked for early access to the property and several updates about the garage. Claudette, assured me that early access wasn't possible because the team was still "working hard" to deep clean the home and that it would be completely move-in ready on July 1. I relied on those assurances when planning my move. When I arrived with a vehicle full of my belongings, the home was nowhere near move-in ready. The cigarette odor throughout the house was so overwhelming that it triggered a migraine after only a couple of hours inside. The walls were drenched in sticky nicotine sap that my body absorbed just by being in the room. The home still needed extensive cleaning, the garage was not even accessible, and the kitchen was in an alarming condition. The cleaning company's own report later documented heavy dirt, grease, biological contamination, and the removal of rodent feces from the kitchen cabinets and drawers before they could even be disinfected. That should never be the condition in which a home is turned over to a new tenant. Instead of unpacking, I spent my move-in day begging desperately for human communication with RPM, documenting the property's condition, communicating with cleaners through a language barrier, trying to determine where I would stay, and being sent maintenance requests asking me to coordinate repairs that should have been completed before I received the keys. The biggest disappointment, however, was Claudette's communication. Despite multiple emails, photos, videos, and requests for updates, I was largely ignored. I repeatedly asked for a phone call but was instead directed back to the maintenance portal. At no point did she ask whether I had somewhere to stay after it became obvious I couldn't move into the home, nor did she provide a meaningful timeline or clear plan for resolving the situation. I chose RPM because I believed I was renting from a trusted, professional property management company. Instead, I was left without a move-in-ready home on my lease start date, wondering where I was going to stay, while trying to manage problems that should have been resolved long before I was handed the keys. I cannot WAIT for the next 364 days to be over!!! DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY. This experience fell far below the standard I expected from RPM, and I sincerely hope management reviews both the condition of this property and the way this situation was handled. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend renting through this company. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!!

Theyre cool, until they feel like they can get more money out of you or the property. That's when…read morethey start intimidating, threatening, and harassing you until you either move and they raise the price or pay them a bunch of money. I had random inspections, rude argumentative phone calls, and false violations placed on me. And when I refused to take the harassment I got a rude phone call from some lady named Grace. I was later apologized too and told that they "take pride in our properties," which is funny because anytime they came in I had to fix my lock because they didn't even know how to use the door properly. So weird to take pride in a place you've clearly never stepped foot in. And clearly the guy apologizing just wanted me to shut up, he didnt really care. Bad company, bad properties, and even worse most unfulfilled petty and pathetic people. Like imagine taking pride in harrassing college kids seeking for housing. See? Pathetic.

We have an old 1800's home so he dug through tons of info to figure it out and we are VERY pleased with his work. The ONLY complaint I had was the fact I had to keep close tabs because his communication isn't the best. He texted saying yes he'd do it but Then it fell silent with no communication. So I reached out. He texted and responded every time I reached out but it was a vague response so I had to pin him down as to what the date was that he was coming. Very very nice guy and very good work, I think he's just swamped. I would definitely use him again.

Bobby West was our realtor to sell our home and help us find our new home. We chose him based on…read morehaving several 5 star reviews. After our experience, we questioned if they were all real. Our home was listed, and wanting to sell we decided to put the price at the lower end of his recommendation range, trying to ensure it would not sit. Within 4 days he wanted us to lower the price by $10,000 because of only 2 showings. We did not feel great about this and felt this was too soon, but he pushed, so we agreed to lower by $7,000. Within a week we had 1 awful offer and one for asking. We accepted the one for the asking price. Now it was time to find our new home. We picked a day we could both get off work. He said he couldn't show us houses that entire day because he was taking his 2 dogs to a grooming appointment. We found our home through a different realtor in his office. Bobby made the offer and it was accepted. Here's where things take a turn. He said he took care of our earnest money going where it needed to go. He didn't. He told us he got permission from our seller so we could move in up to a couple days early. He didn't. We told him when our movers were coming and he was pushing to have the sellers do our walk through at the same time our movers would be moving our belongings out of the home. Everything was in writing via text messages. When the messages were copied back to him, he spun out of control. Messages became rude and unprofessional on his end. We didn't know how to respond to him. We decided to have another realtor from his company intervene. John Perry stepped in and was very professional and completed the rest of the communication and tasks. We would not recommend using Bobby West as a realtor.

We worked with Scott Boni out of the Bobby West team and it was a fantastic experience. We will…read moredefinitely be recommending Scott and Bobby to anyone else looking to buy a home. Scott guided us through he whole process was very patient with us and explained everything without over explaining. He helped us at every step of the way was always quick to reply and easy to contact and kept us informed. Scott also had great contacts through him he helped us pick a quality mortgage broker, home inspector and everything else we needed for the process. Scott was also extremely knowledgeable about the houses we toured and was able to point out things I never would have noticed or known to ask about. He was able to adapt as we figured out what kind of houses we were actually interested in and guide us to more like what we wanted. We toured a lot of houses and made two offers in our Journey and Scott was reassuring communicative and effective the entire way. Every weekend he would set us up to tour homes with an itinerary and a plan also including and getting us information on homes we found ourselves that we liked. Scott was a great Value as a realtor but more importantly to me he was just a very good person. I felt like i could trust him to actually have mine and my Wife's interests at heart. I never felt pressured by him and the man knew how to make us feel comfortable in the strange situation. He was easy to talk to without it ever feeling awkward or like an obligation even on our 10th or 12th house toured. He was fun to talk to while keeping us on track through all the tours and making good use of our time. He helped us weigh the pros and cons of the places we visited and helped us understand everything through his knowledge and experience. I'd highly recommend this group and Scott in particular if you are in the process of buying a house.
