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.

My wife and I owned rental property in Pittsburgh, PA that had been vacant for several years. We…read morelive in another state and owning this property became a huge financial burden and we no longer wanted it. 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 was the first one of my friend group to find a property that is owned by this company. The agent…read morewe were presented with is Leah and my friend and I toured the first side of 6 bedrooms. Leah was really helpful and kind which is rare especially when you learn about how bad other property managers are in the same area as this property. Leah was really patient with us as we tried really hard to find other girls to join our house but it always fell through with some of these girls. Leah recommended the 4 bedroom side to us and even went out of her way to show that side of the house to 2 of the girls since I was really busy with a final for a class. Leah has been nothing but kind and respectful. She wasn't up our butts about paying for the deposit and she was really understanding when we had an issue with finding people. I'm glad this company took over for the property that we found instead of the prior one due to how it feels so frat like and how the property management is changing it. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for a place and heard bad things about other property management.

I would not recommend DeSantis Property Management based on my experience…read more After my tenants moved out on October 31, I expected my property to be prepared quickly for a new tenant. Instead, I experienced months of poor communication, delays, broken commitments, and questionable billing practices. Although work orders for cleaning and winterization were created in early November, the carpets were still not cleaned months later despite multiple invoices, repeated follow-up emails, and promises that the work would be completed. I personally visited the property on multiple occasions and found a strong animal odor, large carpet stains, tires and junk left in the garage, and maintenance items that had not been addressed. Communication was consistently reactive rather than proactive. I repeatedly had to ask for updates, and many emails went unanswered. I was promised improved communication, complimentary carpet cleaning, and removal of the remaining debris, yet these commitments were either significantly delayed or never fulfilled. I also discovered a water shutoff notice on the property because the utility bill had not been addressed. I had to pay more than $400 immediately to prevent the water from being shut off. Later, I found duplicate management fees, additional cleaning charges for work that was never completed, charges for services after I had already informed the company I was terminating my management agreement, and billing discrepancies related to the water account. Perhaps the most frustrating part was that I was repeatedly asked to lower the rent because the property was not leasing, while basic maintenance and cleaning needed to attract a tenant had still not been completed. After months of frustration, I decided to sell the property instead. Throughout the process I spent an enormous amount of time following up, documenting issues, and correcting problems that should have been handled by the property management company. Every property management company will encounter challenges, but what matters is communication, accountability, and follow-through. Unfortunately, those qualities were consistently lacking throughout my experience. Based on the delays, lack of responsiveness, unfulfilled promises, and inaccurate billing, I cannot recommend DeSantis Property Management.

RPM Pittsburgh has been managing my house for 6 months and I am quite happy with their services…read more I'd recommend them to a friend. Pros: - They take care of all repairs and let me know about any unexpected costs as they happen. - They scheduled extra work (termites, fall maintenance) when I asked for it, took care of everything. - I get a monthly statement about income. When the statements look confusing I email RPM and they always explain the charges/income. - Direct deposit to my bank account. Cons: - It took them a few months to replace the garage door on my house, which didn't affect me much but might have made the tenants a bit unhappy. - Sometimes it can take a few days for my property manager to get back to me via email.

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!!!!!!

Also, I had two separate infestations (roaches, then ants) in my time there. Lobos did send an exterminator over quickly both times but still - not the sort of "sharing" you want from your neighbors. I would not rent from them again but they're an option if you're really strapped for cash.

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.
