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!!!!!!

This guy is younger that owns this company. He was a better price than others. He was very…read moreprofessional and competent. Took all day to do our property because he was so thorough. We have an old 1800's home so he dug through tons of info to figure it out and we are VERY pleased with his work. The ONLY complaint I had was the fact I had to keep close tabs because his communication isn't the best. He texted saying yes he'd do it but Then it fell silent with no communication. So I reached out. He texted and responded every time I reached out but it was a vague response so I had to pin him down as to what the date was that he was coming. Very very nice guy and very good work, I think he's just swamped. I would definitely use him again.

MAKE DEB YOUR REALTOR. She's a tireless advocate for you!…read more I was referred to Deb by friends in 2016 to buy my first house in Pittsburgh. Deb was on board with my priorities, and to boot, Deb would help mind my toddler while I looked at houses. Unfortunately, I got divorced in 2018, and Deb helped me efficiently sell that first house. I just bought my second house with Deb. As the first time, she went above and beyond to make sure I got the house I needed AND wanted. Deb tailors real estate experiences using her experience, knowledge, and network to get the optimum outcome for her clients. So I'm serious, MAKE DEB YOUR REALTOR. She's the best.

From the beginning of the project, MDM provided us with good ideas of how to accomplish our goals. MDM representatives had a thorough knowledge of what was needed. We were told from the beginning what to expect in the process. I was amazed at how our surveyor anticipated possible obstacles to our plan and ways to work around them. Ultimately, we had to appear before our township planning and commission for approval. I can't say enough about the value of MDM's assistance. They were worth every penny we invested in their services. I had no prior experience working with a surveying company. At times it was frustrating because during the summer they get super busy with outdoor work and aren't always available. But, what really counts is their knowledge and their willingness to share it. MDM did everything right in the assistance they provided us. We are 100% satisfied customers.

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).

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!!

She did an outstanding job as my agent, and has several qualities that make her exceptional: * Monice is very KNOWLEDGEABLE Monice understands the home-buying process well and carefully explained the different steps to me. She gave me a folder with different papers to help me understand the whole process. Throughout the whole process, her emphasis was on educating me and making sure I understood everything. In addition, Monice is well-learned with regards to various home maintenance and inspection issues. As I looked at about 30 houses with her, Monice offered insights into various cracks, furnace, landscape, interior decorating, drainage issues. In fact, I first met Monice at a seminar entitled "The Best Way to Buy, Maintain and Sell A House." * Monice works to SERVE you As my agent, Monice explained options to me and made sure I made the best decision with regards to your preferences and circumstances. Even though I looked at close to 30 houses, Monice continued to be patient and understanding with my finding the best house. As she got to know my preferences better, she suggested various houses that she thought would suit me. Monice always seemed to have my bests interests in mind as we interacted with banks, other agents, and sellers. It is a great time to purchase a house as Mortgage Rates are very low. If you are looking to purchase a place in Pittsburgh or neighboring areas, I highly recommend Monice Ming Tong. This was my first time buying a house, and was quite nervous about the whole process. It is a huge decision--something that affects the next five to six years of your life at least, and probably one of the biggest financial decisions you will make. I'm thankful that Monice was my realtor and guide my through the process. She helped me find prospective homes, manage day-to-day activities, and offer suggestions for various things. I now own a house in South Squirrel Hill and am very happy with it. I also recommend the books, Home Buying for Dummies and Nolo's Essential Guide to Buying Your First Home.
