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.

The property needed lots of repair work and the cost of maintaining it was piling up. I reached out to a few investors in the area regarding selling the property and was extremely grateful that I connected with Nick from the Pittsburgh Property Guy Team. 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.

I waited to publicize this review, but I can't wait any longer…read more I have been in one of their properties for the last 6 weeks now and I am disappointed in the team. When we moved in, the unit was left unlocked and anyone off the street could enter the home. That was the first red flag. As we moved our stuff into the home, the AC was completely unusable and the temperature inside exceeded 85°. Now they did address this and fix this quickly, but we still moved into a home that was not ready. For the first 2 weeks living here, we had to deal with leftover trash and debris that was never cleaned up entirely, I had to fight the maintenance team to send someone out to collect full trash can, full bags of trash, and assorted contractor material. There is still trash and debris on the property that was never picked up, even after someone came out. After our gas was set up, we discovered that the washing machine and dryer were both broken and unable to be used. It took weeks for a new unit to be delivered and there was little to no communication from the property management team. Within that time, the basement flooded and we had to move our stuff we had stored down there. This issue was addressed within a 2 day period. Now we are dealing with a broken oven that I communicated 3+ weeks ago was broken and could not be used. I have not gotten any updates from the management team, even after having a tech come over and work on the unit. It has now been over a week since that visit and I don't know if they are repairing or replacing my unit. I have sent multiple messages asking for an update, and only the appliance company has provided any update. From Day 1 this property was not move in ready, even though it had been vacant for months leading up to us moving in. I would strongly recommend if you are looking to rent from RPM, please find a unit that is already in working order and tread carefully. I feel like when a property is being listed for rentals, it should be move in ready and not be a dumpster fire for the new tenants to put out. RPM did not do their diligence when listing this property and dumped all the broken appliances and issues onto my wife and I. To RPM, please do better with your management of these properties. Yes the home is old and is going to have quirks to it, but I shouldn't have to beg and plead with your team to get work done and completed. Things can and will break, that's just the nature of property management, but when everything I have listed is broken at Day 1, that is disappointing and doesn't paint you or your company in good light.

I was in an emergency housing situation and contacted RE 360. I was put in touch with Miah with…read morewhom I scheduled a tour of several properties. I told Miah about my situation, that I was basically looking for a property as a backup plan for my family's housing emergency. Despite the lack of commitment from me to eventually sign a lease, she still took me on the tour of the properties. She was graceful, kind, professional and, most helpfully, she knew the area and had insights about the properties and the area that were specific to my situation and my family structure. What impressed me most about her approach was that she gave the tour despite me informing her that this was an exploratory effort on my part. Thankfully, my housing emergency was soon resolved through another solution, however, we did not lease a property from RE 360, and because of that, I cannot speak to the management style or effectiveness of RE 360. What I can speak to is Miah's performance and approach. My family and I feel very strongly that Miah contributed to solving our housing emergency because she was a partner in helping us find our options in a pinch. I am thankful that it was Miah who answered my call that day, because had it been anyone else I could've been told that RE 360 would not spend time with someone who was ready to rent, or I could've been taken on a tour with someone who was not engaged in the process because a sale was not probable. Miah did neither of these things and additionally, continued to check in with my status throughout the following week, giving me updates on the properties that we toured. Miah made a positive difference for me and my family in a time of need, and for that I am thankful for her, and I am also thankful that RE 360 had her in their employ.

If you encounter and problems, call the health department immediately. I would rate them 0 stars if…read moreI could. From the moment I moved in without a doorknob on the back door and the kitchen ceiling leaking my first day there, until my move out process has been nothing short of hell. Do not get their renters insurance through the app because your claim will be denied. They ruined my property and I had to go to court because they really only want your money and refuse to dish out a dime. Do not expect to get your security deposit back either. You'll have to thoroughly clean the unit, change light bulbs, the furnace filter, prove that the scraps on the wall was there before you moved in, change the batteries in the smoke detector, have carpets professionally cleaned. Every hour you're late turning your keys in is $200! The roof leaks nonstop but it's on you to clean the damaged carpet. Slum lords is a compliment when describing them. RUN

I had a truly unpleasant experience in my 6 months residing at the Equity-owned Brix at 26…read moreapartment. A few of the experiences below underscore my entire time there. I've lived in several apartments over my 15 years of adulthood and Equity has by far been the most frustrating and disappointment of landlords, showing little remorse and providing no recourse for their behavior. - Safety concerns: please see email below from October 17, 2018 to the former building manager and management company for which I never received a reply: Good evening- I returned to my apartment this evening at 7PM to find my door left ajar with no members of the apartment management nearby. Per a letter we received this week there was an inspection to be done yesterday and today before 9AM-4PM so I can only imagine that my door was left open for the past 3 hours. Erin- as you know this is just one of a number of frustrations I have had with my living experience at the Brix these past 3 months. This unfortunately simply adds to the lack of professionalism I have received from this building and it's management. I feel incredibly unsafe to have known that my apartment was left open with access to anyone. I have only begun to examine my unit to see if anything could have been taken and plan to file a report if there isn't any clarification received as to why my unit was left open. Thank you. Noise concerns: hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to a noise issue that I have been managing throughout my time in Apartment 212. As you likely know, the 3 Minute Fitness center is located right below the building, and seemingly right beneath my unit. The classes in the fitness center are helf throughout the day, starting as early as 6AM with the last class after 8PM. Not only do the lyrics and bass of the music in the class sound and vibrate clearly in my apartment but even directions from the instructors in the class. Over the last few weeks I have tried a number of ways to deal with the noise- ear plugs to sleep with, noise-cancelling headphones to work with and even sleeping in a different room - none of which have been effective in managing the sound. I am particularly concerned as to how I will deal with this when working night shifts and having to sleep during the day. I understand that it will be challenging to change a whole fitness center's programming but I do hope there is something that we might be able to do to address this in a timely fashion. I look forward to hearing back from you or to meeting in person to discuss further. Cleanliness on move-in: please see email from July 16, 2018 to the previous building manager related to the condition I found the apartment in upon move-in: Dear Adam and Erin- I hope you had a great weekend. Thank you for all your help in making my move-in this weekend incredibly smooth. My family really enjoyed seeing the building and the neighborhood and I am excited to start the next part of my career here. On Saturday, I had briefly mentioned to Adam that there were a few items left behind in the master bathroom (i.e Drano, toilet bowel cleaner, a toilet bowl brush and plunger). Unfortunately when moving around the apartment a bit more we were disappointed to see that in addition to the cabinets under the sink in the bathroom, the majority of the cabinets in the kitchens were also quite dirty, left with food residue and stains. What was especially discouraging was when attempting the use the washing machine we noticed a rim of what appears to be black mold. I understand it might be challenging to get a cleaning crew in now that I have moved some of my furniture into the apartment but I wonder if it would be possible to have the rim around the washing machine either cleaned or replaced as we were unable to clean it off the mold ourselves. Unresponsiveness to maintenance request: please see message from September 19, 2018 re: ~2 months it took to respond to a maintenance request: Hi Erin- Thank you for your message. The sink works well and I appreciate Carl's help. As I mentioned in my note I had made this request prior to you being away last week (on August 28th) and actually before then I had sent a message to Adam back on July 17th about the sink. I would still like to know if I will be considered for a rent reimbursement check? 3-8 weeks without any communication was quite a bit longer than the 24-hour service response guarantee.

While some others may have had good experiences with MRE I cannot agree. I started contacting MRE…read morenearly three weeks ago when I saw a piece of property listed on Zillow. I emailed through the Zillow site twice that week but never received a return call or email. I reached out to the MRE agent, Diane Wheeler, and left her a voicemail directly. No response. Several days later, left a follow-up message. No response. Several days later called another representative, Samantha, and no surprise but no response. Another couple of days pass and I call again. A young lady answers the phone "Hello" as if I am calling someone at home. She says I have the right number and I explain the issue. She says she is on the way back to the office, will pull the information, and get back to me shortly. No response. Another call, another voicemail, and no response. In the nearly three weeks since this started, the property list price has been reduced $8,000. That's great for a potential buyer, but only if someone returns the calls. Unfortunately, if you're the seller the lack of concern and action just cost you $8,000 because you think nobody is interested when in fact your listing agent isn't returning customer calls. I've been in sales for 20 years. If someone calls you and tells you that they want what you have to sell, your RETURN THE CALL! It's easier to make a sale when the client reaches out to you than if you have to go blindly searching for potential clients. I don't know that I've ever had this much trouble trying to buy something that someone wanted to sell!

If you're looking for a realtor that is knowledgeable and savvy without ever being pushy, who is…read moregenuinely kind without being fake, and someone who is a delight to be around but also is so organized and on top of things- Bobby West is that realtor! After a few months of working with Bobby, my husband & I have just closed on our first house in Pittsburgh (after relocating from out of state) and this experience has been infinitely easier with Bobby in our corner. He has great recommendations, I trust his opinions and he has a network of reliable contacts to share that have so far proven to be just as amazing as he is (financials, contractors, etc). The house that we ended up purchasing was one that we visited just before the open house was ending; this house that "might work" if we saw it in person ended up being exactly what we were looking for. The house was just listed and already had 3 offers on it, so my husband called Bobby at 5p on a Sunday to ask if it might be possible to submit our best offer before the 7p deadline that day. Bobby worked with our financial contact (who was also amazing, and who he recommended) to get the offer paperwork to us immediately and because of their fast teamwork, we were able to get the house that we really wanted on such short notice! It's also worth mentioning that we went to several open houses over the past few months, and all of the hosting realtors knew who Bobby was and they all had nothing but the best things to say about him. Bobby is a true asset to the community and everything he does is with the best of intentions. Also, since home buying is (often) an emotional and stressful internal experience, it helps to work with someone who has a calming and empathetic approach to their relations. This was something I immediately noticed when I met Bobby, and for such a large and costly decision taking place (this is true for anxious people especially), this reassuring demeanor really helps you to feel supported during the entire home buying process. These are just some of the reasons that I would recommend Bobby to anyone who is looking for a realtor. He is just the best!

We worked with Scott Boni out of the Bobby West team and it was a fantastic experience. We will…read moredefinitely be recommending Scott and Bobby to anyone else looking to buy a home. 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.
