They are extremely professional and very responsive to any questions, issues or emergencies. The team always provide the best solution with any queries. Great knowledge of the Philadelphia market and introduced me to a very good broker too. The team is very stable and approachable. I chose to work with a property management company so I wouldn't need to worry about the day to day direct communications with tenants, especially for time sensitive issues and they have not disappointed. Both my tenant and I were extremely happy with their management techniques and demeanor. I would gladly recommend Grow property to our friends and family.

WARNING: Do NOT waste your time or gas money with this company…read more We drove TWO HOURS to tour a property, only to arrive and find that no one was there. We were not made clearly aware that this was supposed to be a self-guided tour -- and it didn't matter anyway, because the lockbox codes they sent us DID NOT WORK. Every attempt to get help was met with automated responses. When a real person finally stepped in, there was zero urgency. No one offered to come open the door. No one acknowledged that we had traveled hours to be there. We were essentially left on read while standing outside a property we couldn't enter. The response we eventually received amounted to: "Sorry, we're working on it." That's it. Here's what concerns me most: if this is how they handle prospective tenants, imagine how they handle the properties they manage. If I were a homeowner and this company was representing my home, I would consider that a serious breach of fiduciary responsibility. They are not acting in the owner's best interest by making showings inaccessible and unmanageable. This felt like a scam at worst and gross negligence at best. Avoid.

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....

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 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.

Another update !…read more Geanie Ramos strikes again. Unfortunately, every interaction I have with her is met with unnecessary hostility and an unprofessional attitude. We recently discovered mouse droppings in our garage and even caught a mouse for the first time in the three years we've lived here. Since the neighboring townhome has been vacant for over a year and shares a garage wall with ours, we reached out to our property management company for the HOA's contact information. As renters, we don't have access to HOA information--that's something the landlord or property management company typically handles. Instead of simply providing the contact information, Geanie chose to respond with another unnecessarily rude email. A simple request was met with attitude instead of professionalism. I work in a corporate healthcare environment, and if I spoke to my clients, colleagues, or patients the way she speaks to tenants, I would expect to be disciplined. Professionalism and basic courtesy shouldn't be too much to ask. Interestingly, she always seems pleasant when communicating with my MALE fiancé, but whenever I reach out, the tone is completely different. I can't explain why, but the difference is noticeable. I've forwarded these interactions to her supervisor multiple times because this has become a consistent pattern. If we ultimately decide to leave this townhome, it won't be because of the property itself--it will be because dealing with Geanie has become so unpleasant. Tenants deserve respectful, professional communication, especially when reporting legitimate maintenance and safety concerns.
