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.

When I spoke to Nick, I immediately felt comfortable. He was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly and offered solutions. Thanks to him, the entire process was smooth, quick and easy. He kept me updated every step of the way from the time they made an offer to close. It was a pleasure doing business with the Pittsburgh Property Guy Team and we highly recommend their services to anyone.

So I reached out. He texted and responded every time I reached out but it was a vague response so I had to pin him down as to what the date was that he was coming. Very very nice guy and very good work, I think he's just swamped. I would definitely use him again.

I debated for a long time whether to write this review because I don't take public criticism…read morelightly. I work in commercial real estate and have spent more than 10 years working with brokers, agents, and property professionals. Ultimately, I felt that sharing my experience would help others make a more informed decision. Unfortunately, my experience with this brokerage fell well below my expectations. Communication started out well, but once my home was listed, it became increasingly difficult to receive timely responses or proactive updates. I often had to follow up multiple times just to obtain basic information about showings, feedback, or next steps. I wasn't expecting constant communication, but I did expect responsiveness and guidance throughout the listing process. I also followed several recommendations regarding marketing and presentation that, in hindsight, proved ineffective. After changing brokerages, my new agent immediately recommended staging, professional photography, video marketing, and a more proactive marketing strategy. Showing activity increased significantly after those changes were implemented. One of my biggest concerns involved the brokerage's handling of my request to shift the property's marketing focus from selling to renting as market conditions changed. I was provided information regarding Zillow's rental listing capabilities that I later confirmed was inaccurate. Because I relied on that advice, I believe the property missed valuable exposure to prospective tenants during a critical period. When I eventually raised my concerns with the supervising broker, Danielle Seals, I initially appreciated her willingness to listen. However, I ultimately did not feel my concerns were meaningfully addressed, and after following up with additional information by email, I never received a response. This review is not about the fact that my home didn't sell immediately. Markets change, and no brokerage can control that. My disappointment stems from the overall client experience--communication, marketing strategy, responsiveness, and how concerns were handled once they were raised. Every client's experience will be different, but I would encourage anyone considering this brokerage to interview multiple firms and ask detailed questions about communication, marketing plans, and broker oversight before signing a listing agreement. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this brokerage.

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.

Although this company has many apartments in convenient locations, I would strongly recommend…read morethinking twice before applying. In my experience, once you submit the application and pay the required fees and security deposit, you have very little flexibility if you change your mind. I was told that the security deposit would not be refunded if I decided to withdraw the application. This can be a significant concern if you are still unsure whether the apartment is truly the right fit for you. My advice: be absolutely certain before submitting an application or paying a security deposit. If you have any personal or family circumstances that could potentially change your plans, or if you are not completely satisfied with the apartment, make sure you fully understand their refund and cancellation policies beforehand. Unfortunately, I also found the level of professionalism and helpfulness to be very disappointing after the application was submitted. The experience before applying was very different from the experience afterward. In my case, the customer service became extremely frustrating once I was already committed to the application. Another major concern is the true cost of living in these apartments. The monthly rent may initially appear reasonable, but the actual cost can be significantly higher once utilities and additional charges are included. Everything, including heating and the stove, is powered by electricity. During the winter, the electric bill can be shockingly high, making the apartment much more expensive than the advertised rent might suggest. There were also additional charges that I did not fully anticipate when initially considering the apartment. The maintenance experience was another major disappointment. In my experience, the maintenance team was extremely inflexible and unprofessional. Be very careful about authorizing repairs, and make sure you clearly understand what work is being performed and who is responsible for the cost before anything is done. I was concerned about being charged for issues that I did not cause. These are older buildings, so maintenance issues are bound to happen from time to time. That makes responsive, transparent, and professional maintenance even more important. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I am giving two stars primarily because the properties are located in convenient areas. However, a convenient location does not make up for poor customer service, high utility costs, unexpected charges, and a frustrating maintenance experience. If you're considering one of their apartments, do your homework before signing anything. Ask detailed questions about every fee, utility, maintenance policy, and potential charge. Carefully review the application, lease, refund, and cancellation policies before submitting an application or paying any deposit. Don't make your decision based solely on the advertised monthly rent. Make sure you understand the true monthly cost and what you could potentially be responsible for paying.

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.)
