I was very fortunate to have found Jeff Stanley when I first started looking for a house in…read morePittsburgh. As my Realtor, he helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was very patient as I traveled all over to look at homes over several years(almost four to be honest, I was very picky) and cautioned me about making unreasonable offers, as this was my first experience with buying a home. In short, he was always on my side working to make my house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Jeff was that he was always more focused on answering my questions, giving me good advice, and finding homes that met my needs than he was on closing a deal. I would recommend him to anyone.

I can't tell you enough how amazing Steiner is. If you're looking for an amazing apartment or a…read morehome, wonderful people who truly care about you and your needs, and an amazing team of professionals in both the office and on the maintenance team, Steiner Realty is truly for you. I've lived in a Steiner apartment for four years, and it has been the best experience I've ever had. They truly go over and beyond. The maintenance team immediately fixes any issues that may arise (they take amazing care of their properties, so there aren't really any issues to begin with!), the folks in the office really take their time answering any and all questions, and they truly care about their renters. I moved cross country for the first time in my life, and the folks in the office really made the whole process easy for me. If I could live in this apartment forever, I would. They are super nice, informative, professional, hardworking, and overall outstanding. Even my introverted cats who are scared of everyone except my wife and I LOVE the maintenance team, so that says a lot. Everyone at Steiner Realty truly deserves a raise, in my opinion. I've worked as a Leasing Agent before, so I have extremely high standards- Steiner absolutely went over and beyond my standards in every aspect. The quality of my apartment is outstanding, and I have been absolutely blown away by how amazing my time has been while living here. They keep everything super clean- they even salt the sidewalks and parking lots before any storm, big or tiny. They always answer the phones immediately when you call, and they take their time with you. If someone was in my parking spot, they would have them towed immediately for me. One of my light bulbs went out, and they came and replaced ALL of my lights, and even gave me extra bulbs. They even email you after you get maintenance done to make sure you are happy with the results. They all truly go over and beyond. I could go on and on. More people need to know how amazing Steiner is, and how amazing their properties are too.

Do not rent from Lobos Management unless you want to pay exorbitant rent with additional outrageous…read morefees for a subpar living experience. I moved to Pittsburgh from another state and rented a studio apartment sight-unseen. I based this decision on the listed rent and the location of the building. The leasing agents perform shoddy service across the board. The very first one was the most obsessed with my current credit score and didn't care if I could pay a whole year's rent in advance. (I understand now this is because the monthly expenses fluctuate due to their inability to provide upfront information on the actual cost of renting.) Where to start? I have some documentation (see photos below) of the ways in which Lobos is the worst leasing company in Pittsburgh. It's a shame because they're everywhere in the city. I can recognize their rental signs, and it pains me to realize that there might not be that much choice for folks, but please weigh your options and avoid if possible. 1. Undisclosed fees, added costs - My base rent went higher than I had anticipated mostly because of the high monthly water/sewer fee. I did not pay with a credit or debit card, but that would have cost me 2.99% fee. I unfortunately paid for a laundry card since the leasing agent with whom I signed my initial paperwork pressured me into this; turns out, the washers were cash only in my building. Lobos told me that the laundry cards for non-refundable, so I lost $35. I paid $125 for offstreet parking monthly. No one else in my building used this, so I'm not quite sure why the fee was so high. The monthly water bill fluctuated month-to-month, but the photo below shows an "average." 2. No quiet enjoyment - If you're looking for a place that allows you to rent and enjoy peace and quiet, Lobos is not it. They will announce spot checks out of the blue (called "inspections") where it feels like a college dorm R.A. looking at everything you own. The first one said that I needed to wipe down my stovetop. It was very clean already which signaled to me that you need to have your apartment spotless to the point of what most landlords expect when you move out. If you're busy or not home very often, you feel like you have drill sergeant inspecting your bunk when it's time for them to breeze through and critique. I gave my notice of nonrenewal on my lease since they were raising the rent by $30. They ask for renewals SIX MONTHS prior to the end of the lease. Lobos immediately came in to take a video of the apartment and start making showing appointments. Showing appointments were made the day before and canceled the day of occasionally. There were constant requests to show my unit with the vague request to have it ready between 10:30am - 5:30pm. 3. Lousy maintenance - Your mileage may vary, but I had a leak in my unit from the closet. I photographed it and added to the Resident Portal. You will get constant texts from Lobos asking you to report leaks because water leaks account for higher water bills! I reported this on a Sunday, and Friday morning before 9am, I got a knock on my door. Friday was my only day off from work, and I couldn't believe that they delayed coming for so long. They had all week! The carpeting on my floor was wet but had dried by the time they showed up. Upon my move-out, I did notice lumpy/bumpy parts in the wall that looked like old water damage. That's how they deal with this issue. Last thing I'll mention is that my in-wall heater/AC unit was very inefficient. During my first winter, the electric bill was crazy high and the unit would shut off before it provided any real heat. It wasn't broken, but just inefficient, I thought. The next summer, the unit would shut off before it cooled the room, and the bill was skyhigh. I actually removed the outer cover to find out that the unit HAD NEVER BEEN CLEANED. I got rid of the grime and dirt accumulated over G-d knows how long, and finally, it worked just fine. Cooler/warmer, lower bills. I have so many more issues, but these are the major ones. Others: smoke detector fell off the wall the day after Lobos installed it. I had at least one package stolen from near the mailboxes (found the empty box in the building's trash). Lobos advised me to file a police report. Mailboxes not secure; my key caused the whole row to open up. They installed cameras in the entryway and the laundry room without any announcement. Do those use facial recognition or not? Who knows. Front door of building constantly broken due to tenants slamming it. At one point, you could enter and leave without unlocking the door. I reported this and all they did was shove the hardware back into the door. It needed to be replaced at the very least, but I guess that would be too expensive. Last photos outline excruciating slow snow removal. They left the snow in place for so long it iced over and became harder to remove. You must pay to have your carpet cleaned before move-out (more $$$ out of YOUR pocket.)

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.

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!!!!!!

As a homeowner who used them for their management services, I felt that the experience overall…read morecould have been MUCH better. The first few months of my new renter in the property was fine, however, the last 4 months of the renter being in the property it got to where they were falling behind. First it started as the renter only paying partial, yet the management company kept their 10% of what was paid, I feel they shouldn't have withheld anything until FULL payment was received as they didn't do their part, which was to collect the FULL rent. If you allow pets in your property they charge the tenant a monthly fee, that isn't passed along to the owner so that's pure money for the management company. If the tenant is late on rent the management company collects and KEEPS a late fee, which should go to the owner not the management company. In your agreement with them you allow them to complete work orders up to $300, but the kicker is that they then charge you not only the amount you have approved up to but also 15% on top of the total!! And when they close the work order they don't provide you with a detailed invoice so you have no clue what you have paid for. My biggest complaint about them, above all the fees they charge the owner and how they withhold their money before everything is collected, is that the property managers who manage the properties are never in the office to answer your questions. So when you call in or email to speak to them it goes to voicemail, you get an out of office message that they will be out for 2 WEEKS, and then they never respond back to you when they are back. In my opinion just manage your property yourself or find a different company. If you're a renter go find another property to rent that isn't by this company. I have worked in property management before and should have management my own property myself.
