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.

We were new to Pittsburgh and were first time home buyers. Dawn took us to tour multiple…read moreproperties. We ultimately wanted to offer on a house that was on demand and very desirable. So we needed to make sure our offer was strong and stood out from the rest of them (the house ended up having multiple offers within 2 days of being up on zillow). Dawn was able to use her years of experience in the biz to help us construct the perfect competitive offer and we got the house! Couldn't recommend more!

I am/was a first time home buyer, and there's so much to learn! Dawn basically walked me through…read moreevery step of the process. Over the course of about a year she answered my many questions via text and email and call, usually within minutes. She didn't miss a single step of the process, and in fact was usually early with all of the minutiae involved. I felt that I was in very good hands. I just closed on my dream home (!), but there was a house before this that fell through after inspection. Due to her extensive knowledge of contracting, Dawn was able to give realistic estimates of the repairs needed, and, most importantly, she helped me make the decision to walk away from a house I had lots of hope for but would have ultimately ended up being a miserable money pit. I'm so grateful for that perspective, and also for the fact that I generally never felt any pressure to make a decision before I was ready, buy a house outside of my means, etc. etc. I'm so lucky to have worked with Dawn and would recommend her to anyone!!

If I could give a rating of zero stars I would. I had a horrible experience dealing with Remax…read morewhen I went to buy my house. The buying and selling team were Gina and Rachel and Rachel was my agent since I was the buyer. Within our contract, there was a section about the buyer's agent commission. When I had asked Rachel to explain this fee early on in the house buying process she told me, "A buyer's agent commission is usually paid by the seller but if a home is under 3% or $3,000 then you would have to pay me, but you are not in that small range of homes, so you are okay..." Naturally, I trusted her. Well that was a huge mistake. When it came time to review the contract before closing, there was an additional fee of $675 listed under the buyer's agent commission. When I asked Rachel again why there was this additional fee, she told me that her commission on the house should be 3% but she was only getting 2.5% and Gina was taking 3.5% and she did not know how much commission Gina would be taking and said, "Sorry for the confusion". How do you work on the same team and not know how much commission the other person is taking?? This information was not properly disclosed to us during the process and we were lied too many times. I contacted the CEO of this Remax branch, Ed Rae about this issue. At first, he seemed like he cared and wanted to help. Well, after not answering my phone calls for a whole week, he finally got back to me and said he could not talk to Rachel because the Governor banned face to face contact.... Have you ever heard of a phone call? After he eventually looked into my contract, he said that the information of how much commission Rachel was taking from the house was disclosed to us on a multi-list printout (that I think might have been on the table at the showing). At the bottom, it said "BAC: 2.5% NET" How would any individual who is not in real estate know what that means? And on top of that, Rachel had access to this paper so obviously she knew what her commission was. He refused to help us or give any guidance on who to talk to about this issue. This was my first time buying a house and it is supposed to be exciting but working with Remax and this team was nothing but a nightmare! If anyone is forced/ or does use this team, you should verify the amount of commission they are each taking from the sale. They will lie to your face multiple times. I have our entire conversation in writing and this did not matter to anyone at Remax. I was extremely disappointed in the way Rachel, Gina and Ed handled this process and would not recommend them to anyone.

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.
