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.

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.

Long story short Bobby is a no BS agent and a great person. You can only have a good experience when working with him.

She is smart, honest and hard-working. I would trust and recommend using her professional services again. Thank you Robyn!

We felt communication from Kathe was often unclear and slow, which was especially difficult given that elderly parents were involved and family members were assisting from out of state. We requested a meeting to review our concerns, but were informed by Kathe that she was on vacation at the time. Shortly after we asked whether her office could assist in addressing the ongoing issues, the listing was withdrawn and we were informed the contract had been cancelled before we had the opportunity to meet or review corrections. From our perspective, this sequence of events added confusion during an already stressful situation. Overall, we felt the process lacked clear communication and collaboration and became more difficult to navigate than expected. Based on our experience, we would not work with this individual again.

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.

We listed our Moon Twp home with an agent at Howard Hanna in October. We made it clear when we…read moresigned the contract that we wanted a 6 month listing. Our contract stated that our listing ended April 30th. The agent was not successful in selling our home and in conversations with him throughout March and April I mentioned that we would likely look for tenants if it had not sold by the time the listing expired. On April 29th I emailed him to talk about the details like the lock box being removed and the key returned. He informed me then that I would need to send a certified letter to his office and then there would be a 10 day waiting period for the listing to be terminated. I was surprised since the contract stated an end date of April 30th, and also he had never mentioned this when we had previous discussions about the end of the contract. Apparently this is a standard clause that Howard Hanna has in the fine print of all their listing contracts that are under a year. Needless to say it was aggravating and annoying; I was especially annoyed that the agent hadn't made me aware of this in advance since he knew we were not wanting to extend beyond April 30th. Overall it felt like a sneaky and underhanded way to treat a client. Would definitely warn anyone who is thinking of listing their home for sale with Howard Hanna to get absolute clarification on the listing termination details up front.

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!!
