We highly recommend Joy Feng and her Skyline Real Estate Experience team. She just helped us sell…read moreour home in Downingtown, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our sale required careful planning because we needed to coordinate it with the purchase of our new home and our moving schedule. Before listing the house, Joy walked us through every step. She gave us thoughtful recommendations on which improvements were worth making, developed a smart pricing strategy, and explained how to position our home to attract the strongest buyers. Once we were ready to list, Joy and her team handled everything quickly and professionally. They coordinated home preparation, photography, and marketing, and our home looked amazing. The results were outstanding. After three open houses over a weekend, we received multiple offers above our asking price within just a few days. Joy did an excellent job communicating with buyers' agents and negotiating on our behalf, helping us choose the strongest offer. From contract to closing, she stayed involved every step of the way. She coordinated with the buyer's agent, lender, HOA, title company, appraiser, and everyone else involved to keep the transaction moving smoothly. Thanks to her organization and attention to detail, everything stayed on track, and we closed successfully. Even better, our home became the highest sale ever in the Hopewell community. Joy is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to her clients. If you're looking for a Realtor who will guide you through the entire process and work hard to achieve the best possible outcome, we highly recommend her.

Very unprofessional experience. This company requires you to pay a rental application fee before…read moreyou're even allowed to see the property, which is a huge red flag. After paying the fee, they completely stopped responding--no replies to texts or phone calls and no update on the application. It honestly feels like a way to collect application fees from multiple people without providing any real communication or service. I would be very cautious before sending them any money.

Do not rent from this company if at all possible. My rental was handled in such an unacceptable…read moremanner. I wish someone would have warned me about this company. They are not a leasing company nor property managers and they have no business offering that service to their clients. My mailbox never had a key when I moved in. No one knew where it was or how to fix it so my mailbox was left wide open for two years for anyone to access. I locked myself out once and they had no backup keys at the office so they hacked my door lock off and left it looking crazy with a flawed lock the "maintenance man" found in the back of his van. So my door wouldn't lock for a whole year in Philadelphia. My hot water heater broke but they "couldn't get a hold of the owner" so they told me I could move out from July to September with no rental charge until they had the money to blow the wall out and replace the heater. Then they back tracked and charged me for the time I couldn't even live there because I was pregnant. Plus added all kinds of late fees. They went back on their word and wouldn't fix my account to reflect the promises they made. The wall didn't need to be blown out it literally took 2 hours to fix and they just bullshitted me for months. I called and talked to people 4 times and they promised they would resolve it. They stole my security deposit and sent a debt to a collector instead of calling me back or fixing their error. The realtor I dealt with asked for gifts for "helping me get the rental at a good rate" he quite literally didn't even show me the apartment. He gave me the code for the lock box outside to let myself in. I've never written a bad review anywhere but i hope it keeps someone from having to deal with an all around nightmare company. Renting should never be like this. It's simple, you collect rent and you make sure you address safety concerns when they come up. This business just keep cashing the checks with no responsibility for the safety of your tenants. My mailbox should lock, I should be able to lock my door, I should have hot water or it should be handled in a timely manner. Zero stars for Philadelphia Realty Exchange.

DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!!!!…read more This is the worst group of scumbags I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I had my rent sent up through the direct deposit system on their website. Every month the rent would be paid on the first, and every single month I was charged a late fee. I rented a property for 3 years which they managed. HVAC broke twice in 12 months. The first time it took them 7 weeks to get it fixed. The second time it took them 6 weeks. Every time I called Kathleen would give me the run-a-round. Nothing but excuses. When I moved out they took $400 out of my deposit for cleaning and to repair holes in the wall that were there when I moved in. When I called Maurice about it he told me I'd have to speak to Kathleen. Well, Kathleen successfully dodged all of my calls. We even scheduled a date and time in advance to discuss this, and she failed to call. Then I was told she doesn't work there anymore and somebody else will contact me. Guess what? they never did. Stay as far as you can from these lying crooks.

I lived at Rittenhouse Hill for 3.5 years. I absolutely loved my apartment and wish I could have…read morepicked it up and moved it out of Philadelphia. My apartment itself was beautiful. I never ran into any major issues with it. It was modern and spacious. The pool was great, though it could have used some TLC. The front desk staff changes frequently however I've never had issues with anyone. Brandon is the absolute best!! My dog and I definitely miss him. Ms. Veronica was always such a gem and super helpful too. My biggest issues were parking and the dog parks being disgusting. Parking was always an issue after normal work hours. Coming home late and parking in the lot was rarely an option. The parking surface was there but as a paying resident, I should not have to park up there. People also parked like they were the only ones that mattered - adding spaces to ends of rows, blocking doors, making it impossible to pass or turn safely. Nothing was ever done to those people because "the police have to come" before towing anyone which is absolutely absurd when it is a safety issue. If there was a fire, a fire truck likely wouldn't be able to make it through at times due to the sheer ignorance of people. No one was held accountable for cleaning up their dogs poop. It's not a hard task and is a part of being a dog owner. It was disgusting 99% of the time. The dog parks got "resurfaced" last year, which just was more rocks being added. It closed the parks for a few days and turned out to be useless.

I would not recommend living at Rittenhouse Hill Apartments. I had the unfortunate experience of…read moreliving there and other neighbors that I talked to, had a similar if not worse experience. One of the biggest issues I experienced was that my car was vandalized even though I was paying for parking inside the property. You would expect a paid parking area to provide at least some level of security, but that wasn't my experience. The condition of the building is also disappointing. The hallways are frequently dirty and have an unpleasant smell, making the property feel poorly maintained despite the high rent. Speaking of rent, be aware that the amount you actually pay ends up being higher than the advertised price. Between the additional fees and other charges, the monthly cost is significantly more than what you're initially led to believe. The move-out process was equally frustrating. Management told us it was okay to hang pictures and other items on the walls, but when we moved out, they kept most of our security deposit without providing a clear or reasonable explanation. It felt unfair and inconsistent with what we had been told during our tenancy. Overall, between the lack of security, poor maintenance, hidden costs, and disappointing handling of the security deposit, my experience was far from satisfactory. I would encourage anyone considering this property to read reviews carefully and ask detailed questions before signing a lease. Take your money elsewhere, you can find a better deal and don't be deceived by their "move-in" specials.

I have been a tenant in a property managed by Dalin for approximately 3 months in Center City and…read morehave been thoroughly impressed with my rental experience. Dalin Property Management has been extremely courteous and responsive via email and phone (within 24 hours or less) to any issues that my roommates and I have had with our property. Furthermore, the use of an online payment system for rent and some utilities is much more convenient than dealing with mailing rent checks. Definitely recommend looking for properties managed by Dalin if you want a professional and responsive landlord!

My rental apartment has been managed by Dalin for 1 yr+ now. Compared to the previous management…read morecompany, they have done 200% better. First of all, when the management changed hands, the first thing they did was visit the apt and document the appliance info so they were prepared. Since then, most of the time my request has been followed up promptly. Also, the contractors they hired to fix various things in my apartment seemed more trust worthy. I'm grateful they have been managing the apartment and have high hopes that the commitment will continue.

Trader Joe's is less than two blocks away and Aldi is about a one mile walk. I can have packages shipped to the office so I know they're safe. Many have said that Mr Robin is the nicest landlord in the city and I believe that to be true.

I recently moved out of an Alvin Levin-owned property after three years. I've lived in several…read moreproperties throughout Center City and this was my first time dealing with a management company, but I can honestly say it was the best experience I've had--out of any landlord. They were responsive in addressing any issues (of which there were very few) and maintained the property to a "t." My unit was nicely updated (with similar upgrades in most of the properties they own/manage) in an older building so it was the best of both worlds. I also loved using an online system to submit maintenance requests and pay rent. Just seems antiquated paying rent any other way! I would highly recommend Alvin Levin & Associates to anyone looking to rent in Center City.

We have been renting from Alvin M. Levin and Sons for more than 2 years now. We have the most…read moredarling trinity Style home, tucked behind a very secure metal gate,which leads to a passageway that brings one to a large secured, and landscaped courtyard, shared with the two houses that are situated on the street in front of our home, on either said of the passageway. Ours is a single family, detached home, which is almost unheard of anywhere near Center City, so zero concerns about neighbor's noises, or security issues. We have 2BR, 2 BA and a den/office area, over 3 stories, and a small private patio off the kitchen. Some of the house has been renovated, but not all (which is reflected in the rent). The utilities/appliances are all serviceable, with new DW and gas stove, and fairly recently installed large, modern W/D in the basement, prior to move in (yes, we have a full basement, which provides lots of storage space). To the best of my knowledge, a lot of Levin's townhomes are older, and have usable fireplaces (often on the 1st and 3rd floors). We use ours throughout the winter, and it is so quaint and charming, ad warm, and Christmasy in December, (the homes I have owned have always had fireplaces, and I love them). We also have a 2nd fireplace on the third floor (a common feature in Levin's townhomes), which is one large area with bedroom, private bath, and sitting area covering the whole top floor, with a lovely slanted, high ceiling, and four large windows (better and bigger than the average NYC studio (often w/less than 500 SQ FT living area) that costs over a thousand , or two (alas, no private kitchen) . Our spoiled daughter lives up there.... Downside is, no bathroom on the first floor, which is pretty much the standard for trinity style homes. As to maintenance.... We have had very few problems,and all have been attended to quickly. We had a leaking DW, which was replaced. We had two problems with the A/C, which I don't think is that old. The response from Levin's maintenance was great. Earlier this summer, it just stopped cooling over the 4th of July weekend. They came out and installed a window A/C, which did not work as well as the central air (due to the design of the house), but allowed me to sleep comfortably until the contractor could come out that Tuesday. The first time we had an A/C problem, they determined that the electrical panel needed to be upgraded. They did a Jury-rig that was designed to work until fall (so we would not have to do w/o Air for a day or two in the extreme summer heat while the installation was done). They followed up and replaced the panel once things got cooler. When I contact the office, the people are very nice, and quite responsive. We have gotten to know some of the maintenance people a bit, since they come out to sweep the courtyard/passageway. We see them on the street, since Levin owns a number of properties in the area, and they are always so pleasant. Twice a year, they send people out to cut back the shrubs in the courtyard/patio areas, and do a general clean-up. We had our rent increased a bit this year, as have a large portion of tenants across the country in the last 1-2 years, but nothing like the 15-60% that many tenants have incurred. Yes, 60% is the amount of rental increase a friend received, who lives in Florida, after a major corporation purchased his complex, with no plans to improve his unit until he moved out. He was forced to move, at great expense. Levin has not pulled that type of BS on its tenants. We wanted to put in body-spray shower heads, and a new kitchen faucet, and were willing to pay for them (once we realized we would probably be here for a minimum of 2 years). Levin was more than willing to pay for the installation of them. Made our enjoyment of the house much better. Yes, they will remain in the house when we move, but if we had needed to pay to have them installed, it would have been cost prohibitive for us. I can highly recommend renting from Alvin M Levin & Son. Our neighbors in front of our house (also properties owned by Levin) have had some maintenance issues, and I only know from seeing workmen coming and going. I assume, since none of them complained, that the issues were taken care of quickly and properly. We feel very fortunate to have found our current home....
