I was very fortunate to have found Jeff Stanley when I first started looking for a house in…read morePittsburgh. As my Realtor, he helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was very patient as I traveled all over to look at homes over several years(almost four to be honest, I was very picky) and cautioned me about making unreasonable offers, as this was my first experience with buying a home. In short, he was always on my side working to make my house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Jeff was that he was always more focused on answering my questions, giving me good advice, and finding homes that met my needs than he was on closing a deal. I would recommend him to anyone.

I can't tell you enough how amazing Steiner is. 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.

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.

While my roommate and I lived here for 2 years and it was a good price and great location, HHP…read morecontinuously disregarded out complains about general maintenance of the apartment. One, our stove caught in fire, completely blamed us, even though it was perfectly clean and I was boiling water. Just water. Stated that since it's "not on fire anymore" they won't replace it. Next, a little over a year into the place, the center of the living room floor began sinking in. They did a shoddy "repair" job if that. The floor was truly never fixed and felt like it would cave in at any time. They also tried to blame it on us stating our cat water fountain must have leaked and caused the damage. It's never leaked, and any spilled will cleaned up immediately. My roommate had part of her bedroom ceiling fall on her because it was rotted. Took them multiple days to come to fix it then processed to leave a huge mess on her bed and through her room. They never bothered to paint the drywall they had replaced so it was just a large unpainted eyesore for two years. They also don't know the laws regarding deposit returns. Saying they can "return it" i.e. just mail it out 31 days AFTER you leave. Which in PA law is not legal. In PA, a renters deposit must be RETURNED within 30 days of move out. My roommate and I moved out July 31st. It has been 31 days since we've moved. And we most likely won't even get the deposit until 35 days since move out. See attached photos as proof HHP assumes they can take advantage of their tenants and then get p*issy in the phone when they are called out for it. Also the lady who sat i front of the ugly cow photo in the office is honestly the rudest lady on earth. If you hate customer service so much, don't work in it ma'am. Additionally, it seemed like the entire time we lived there, they were doing renovations. Which while is nice as they did a great job. It was a major inconvenience at all hours of the day. To make matters worse, the older handyman decided he's allowed to stroll into the apartment at anytime he wants and leave both the building entry door open and the apartment door open. Despite us repeatedly telling him and HHP office we have a cat that will run off if the door is open. So if you have a pet and need maintenance work, pray you don't get him because he won't close the door. Overall you could do worse. But you can also do a heck of a lot better. Former roommate got off the phone with the nice receptionist who fully admitted they should have sent them out two days ago so they would arrive by 08/31. So there ya go! One receptionist blatantly lied about the laws and the other blatantly admits they are 100% in the wrong!! Good luck!

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 called management to exterminate the mice. Maintenance came and gave us little dollar mouse traps from home depot. my boyfriend had to buy mouse traps to kill the mice because management did not care. The rugs were disgusting when I moved in, it look like they didn't touch the floors at all due to the animal hair and brown marks as if the last tenant maybe had a dog or cat. Long story short they didn't touch those floors before I moved in. I would not move in here. They don't fix anything. They keep your deposit charging 500 dollars for a cleaning fee another 200 for carpet and 200 dollars for paint. That is utter ridiculousness!! what paint charge 200 dollars a can of paint is how much??? We had chipped walls in the bathroom, the toilet had the most horrible rust ring around the toilet. tenants got their mail stolen. Our garage door would just open up in the middle of the night due to an electrical error. each year the rent would raise 100 dollars. The heat was controlled by the weather it would not come on unless it was below 60 degrees outside. it was so cold And the heat would not come on.. it was miserable. Cheap blinds that broke just from touching them. i will never stay in another one of thier apartments ever again! I had a horrible experience Rent was literally 1400, when I fell short never worked with me. Management threatened to go to the magistrate every chance they got, I couldn't keep up because of the yearly increase. I beg of you please go somewhere else. it's not worth it. The best part about the apartment was the location but it was supper noisy due to the nursing home next door.

We really lucked out finding a 2 bedroom apartment in our building. We have lived here for 3 years now and love the parking, central air, laundry, gym, and secure front door.

He is so nice and patient, and really cares about the tenants. All of the maintenance guys are friendly and always say hi when passing by. Our refrigerator broke last year, and they ordered a new one and installed it just a few days later. I love that the management is responsive if you have an issue. Some apartments will never get back to you, but we have never had that problem here. We originally rented our apartment from Jeff, but the new manager is Nina. She is great too. The staircases and laundry room are cleaned every week, and there are nice flowers and potted plants out front in the Summer. I have no complaints about these apartments!

Howard, the owner, and Dayna, his manager of sorts, were both professional and helpful. I had a few small service issues throughout my time (leaky sink, low water pressure, etc.) and they were responded to within 24 hours, always. Their rent prices are very reasonable. They will raise your rent annually which is a common business practice in apartment rental and should be expected. Helpful hint: If you pay for a reserved parking spot, NEVER REMOVE THE PARKING TAG or else you WILL be towed. This is a great service that Valinsky provides, but they'll tow your car too if the tag isn't on the rear view mirror! Speaking from experience of course. Lastly, I received my security deposit back in full after three years in the same apartment. Take into account that I was very clean and respectful, and cleaned the apartment thoroughly before moving out- but there were a few blemishes on the walls from hanging posters, paintings, etc, and I was happy to see that I was not penalized. In a world of crappy Pittsburgh landlords, I highly recommend Valinsky.
