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.

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.

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! RUNNN…read more If i could give zero stars I would. I should have seen the red flags in the beginning when they tried to tell me I had to pay $250 extra to move in because of "bad credit" when i have never had bad credit in my life and had to get my own credit report to prove my actual credit score. Then I paid to move in 3 days early to get a email 3 days later about picking up keys to a apartment I already moved into. Then times moves on and I'm told to put all the utilities in my name ok that's fine i call and ask about a water bill and get told to call the water company when i RENT not owned so my bill should be added to the portal so i can pay simple right NOPE i had to continue to call and get the run around about paying my bills. Then 2 months later all of a sudden I get a knock on the door saying my balcony has to come down because code informants was never informed of me moving in with no notice no call no nothing. Comes to find out they were selling the building and squatter had been living next door, the garage wall needed restructuring, roof needs replacing all on a apartment I moved into 6 months ago that they claimed was "newly renovated" BULLSHIT. Then once the building was sold I asked to get my personal information removed and was told "if it bothers you that bad move it to your spam" just ridiculous. Lucky my building has been bought by a GREAT LANDLORD but i just don't want anyone else to have to deal with this same experience DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR GOOGLE REVIEW

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.

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.

After snowfall, the roads and common areas were left fully covered in snow and ice, with no one sent to clean it. It was unsafe, especially for families with kids. What's frustrating is that they have no problem increasing fees every year, but when it comes to actually maintaining the community, they disappear. Snow removal and safety are basic responsibilities, not extras. Residents are paying more and getting less. Poor management, lack of accountability, and no concern for resident safety. I would not recommend this association to anyone.

My ex husband owns the townhouse at 102 Pine Valley Drive in Imperial, PA. Once I discovered that…read moreour three adult children had been forbidden from going into the basement or the access the fuse box, I moved my ENTIRE world back in to start helping with bills. When I attempted to notify the police and his father of the code ordinance violations (the building itself as a tenancy when he is rarely conscious there -- as a foul tobacco-spitting night janitor at RMU who needs to sleep ten hours a day), I somehow got committed to a mental hospital to an involuntary psyche commitment, and he and his best buddies Scott and Katie Zanella had a good laugh about it -- since Scott works for Howard Hanna, sold Mike this house, handles all the software so my email never goes to the right people, and even invited him specifically to their daughter's graduation party last sunmer. As for me, I missed my daughter's graduation ceremony as the police hauled me away when I showed them the house. Without an actionable step to prove I was "a danger" to my ex husband, the 302 was not even legal. But then again, who cares about that in North Fayette when child predator Anthony Saveikis's local magistrate sign still hangs (county ordinance violation), so no one can quite tell just who the local judge was who signed that last order.

I got sick and ended up in the ER from mold exposure and they have done nothing to fix the situation or help me. I chose to leave the apartment before the lease because of all these issues alongside with many other maintenance issues including not having a secure entry in the house.

The rest go to a dead unreviewed voicemail. Zero accountability. There is no one in charge of the office, and they will change the "property manager" at will so there is even more confusion. Think, "a moving target is harder to hit" philosophy. Additionally, they will attempt to have you perform the functions of office staff (without compensation of course). for example, a new computerized application process went online and we were unfortunate to be the first to use it. There were so many problems with it, likely because no one had tested it before making it active, that they asked us to make a list of problems with it so they could work on it. we politely declined and had to use a paper application. Also, they will attempt to have you be their maintenance tracking coordinator by downloading apps or interacting with websites to enter work order tracking information for them (also uncompensated office staff work). We had a house fire and were forced to rent while our home was repaired. After having to deal with this property mangement company, we gained some empathy for people who are not in any other financial position other than having to rent and are forced to deal with these types of awful companys. If you have to rent, try to use another company.
