    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.

    This relates to one of the companies, Nulf Management Services. There have been multiple serious…read moreissues in this building that management has not handled properly. At times there has been no heat, which is unacceptable, especially during cold weather. Heat is a basic necessity and tenants should never have to worry about whether their apartment will be warm enough to live in. There are also ongoing safety and management problems around the property. The dog has been allowed to run around without a leash, which makes the environment uncomfortable and unsafe for other residents. It shows a lack of basic oversight and enforcement of simple rules that protect everyone living here. The most concerning issue, however, has been the bedbug situation. Furniture seen to be infested with bedbugs was dragged out of the building. Bedbugs were dropped everywhere in the entrance and in front of the building. All is visible around the furniture outside. Instead of being handled quickly and professionally. Despite these ongoing problems -- lack of heat, safety concerns, and the bedbug issue -- we have asked to be released from the lease and have not been allowed to leave. At this point, it feels like tenants are being forced to remain in a situation that does not meet basic living standards. Everyone deserves a clean, safe, and properly managed place to live. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience here.

They put in one-time use led light fixtures. They all started going out. I spent two years trying to get them to replace them. I finally opened a ticket stating fire was emanating, don't worry, they came two weeks later. They feign incompetence, use turnover as an excuse to cover their mistakes, and refuse to correct them. I have in writing that they were going to issue me a $15 credit. They never did. They have continued to try to charge me $15, and tacked on a $50 late fee. I spent 2 months trying to contact them through email and phone. When I finally did reach someone they failed to do their job, resulting in ongoing billing issues. There are holes in the floor, they do not have proper gfc outlets in the house. The only thing consistent about the electric is $$$$$$$$$$$ and tripping the breaker. You can literally see the floorboards sagging through the ceiling from the front room. We lived there for many months before the city knocked on our door to inform us that the owner failed to file an occupancy permit, and we did have the right to reside there. The bathtub was cracked and it again, took many months and multiple flooding events of our kitchen for them to fix it. The house is run on electricity instead of gas, so in the winter our electricity bill can run as high as $2000. During the winter we have to keep multiple space heaters going, even with the heat on, to keep the house warm, and the pipes from freezing. The entire top floor doesn't get heated at all without the space heaters. J The backyard is really messed up. It looks as though they dug the whole thing out, and then just dumped dirt and gravel, and called it good. The backyard floods whenever there is rain because of the issues with the backyard. The doors don't work, we had to put hooks on our bedroom door so we can keep it shut, and the door to the basement and garage has to have something blocking it to keep it closed. The carpet was disgusting and torn all over, and should have been replaced before we moved in. The bathroom has 0 ventilation and causes constant issues with black mold. Their response? Leave your bathroom window open at all times, and it's not their problem. They did something to the garage door, and ever since it has had a hard time working, it shakes and rattles, and it's quite concerning every time I have to open the garage. They painted the house before we moved in, and did the worst job I have ever seen. They put in cheap laminate flooring that warps as soon as it's wet on the landing of the doorway, the bathroom, and the kitchen, all three areas that are impossible to keep dry (see notes above about bathtub flooding the kitchen). They have continued to increase our rent, in spite of an endless loop of problems that don't get addressed.

    We were new to Pittsburgh and were first time home buyers. Dawn took us to tour multiple…read moreproperties. We ultimately wanted to offer on a house that was on demand and very desirable. So we needed to make sure our offer was strong and stood out from the rest of them (the house ended up having multiple offers within 2 days of being up on zillow). Dawn was able to use her years of experience in the biz to help us construct the perfect competitive offer and we got the house! Couldn't recommend more!

    I am/was a first time home buyer, and there's so much to learn! Dawn basically walked me through…read moreevery step of the process. Over the course of about a year she answered my many questions via text and email and call, usually within minutes. She didn't miss a single step of the process, and in fact was usually early with all of the minutiae involved. I felt that I was in very good hands. I just closed on my dream home (!), but there was a house before this that fell through after inspection. 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!!
