Rent Scene helped me secure a beautiful apartment and saved me a lot of time from having to search for places manually. Quickly secured something nicer then I could have imagined for my budget, and it cost me nothing extra! I couldnt be happier with their service. Highly recommend to people who have just moved to the Philly area and need a new place.

Rent scene was an amazing help when I was searching for a new apartment. They curated lists of apartments that met all the criteria I needed for my new place. They found me reasonably priced apartments in neighborhoods of my choice throughout the city. Fabiana gave me a virtual tour of a few apartments that day. She was great at describing all the apartments, answering my questions, and providing me with pros and cons based on my needs. Rent scene always responded to my emails quickly and was willing to assist with questions I had throughout the process. I cant believe this service is free! I highly recommend!

I accidentally came across this rental agency midway into my first ever search for an apartment in Philadelphia. They were so cooperative with listening to my specific criteria & drafted a suitable list of apartments. Alex was very responsive and patient. He created a schedule of back to back apartment viewings. Fabiana, another agent met us for the day and supplied us with friendly honest opinions as we toured every single unit.Despite not finding our dream house that round. Alex worked with me and found yet another list of houses to tour. He even provided videos of the units! Can’t get more descriptive than that! We were adamant for a 6 month lease and Alex definitely delivered! We finally found our home sweet home on Columbus Blvd. I truly appreciate all their help and highly recommend to anyone searching to rent a place on Philadelphia.

After finding out on short-notice that Id be moving to Philadelphia for a job, I began the stressful process of looking remotely for apartment rentals. I searched online (all the apartment/condo rental websites, Craigslist, etc) 24/7 for about 2 weeks and had no luck; the most frustrating part was that properties/leasing agents wouldnt answer their phones or return my voicemails/emails, so I was completely in the dark. Eventually I came across a property that was listed by Rent Scene, and I cant say enough good things about the service I received! I inquired about the property around 12:20 pm and received an email from Alex by 12:50 pm. He promptly/thoroughly answered all of my questions (up to 10:00 pm on a Friday night!) and was able to arrange for me to see the unit early the following morning with Fabiana. Fabiana arrived on time, gave us a wonderful tour, and provided us with a ton of fantastic general advice on renting in Philadelphia. While another prospective tenant quickly leased this unit, Fabiana and Alex made themselves available to me via text/email and even contacted me in the following day(s) to check on my apartment search and provide me with leads on other properties. They were an absolute joy to work with and I can only imagine that such excellent customer service reflects the culture of the company for which they work. I cant recommend their services enough and would encourage other out-of-town renters to use Rent Scene to assist with your hunt!

I was in the daunting process of moving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia on a short timeline and limited dates to visit to see potential new living arrangements. Jordan from Rent Scene made the process fun and enjoyable. I was given a host of different possible available units within my budget, timeline, and layout. She gave me daily updates, set up all the appointments, and negotiated the lease terms. I could not be happier with my experience!

Jordan was incredibly helpful! He went above and beyond to put together lists of apartments for me and took all of my must haves into consideration. He then set me up for six tours in one day to accommodate my schedule. I found my dream apartment and he helped move things along quickly to ensure I would get it! This was so much easier than browsing sites myself and contacting each individual person directly. I would definitely recommend.

Rent Scene is terrific! I would use them every time and wish they would be in all cities. They provided me with a terrific list of apartments and adjusted it as I better understood what I wanted in my apartment. Once we decided on a list of apartments, Rent Scene quickly set up a full-day tour for us to view all of the apartments. When we fell in love with one apartment, and another party was also interested in the apartment, Rent Scene quickly moved to help us fill out the applications, give us tips on what might make us more attractive to the landlord (like offering 2 years and having a co-signer) and kept us updated throughout the process to be able to sign the apartment lease in under 48 hours!

Its been a year since we worked with Casey and found our great rowhouse! We were relocating from Michigan back to Philly and had a very bad experience with a different rental agent trying to navigate not only renting long distance, but since my husband does a lot of freelancing, being able to process the ten million pieces of paperwork that comes with that. Casey did it all amazingly- he offered a video tour of the house, took pictures, got measurements, was a great go between with the landlord and made payment and document signing super easy all from far away. Our place looked even better in person, our landlord is the best we have ever had and we plan on staying here until we buy a home- which Casey said Rent Scene can help with when we are ready. If you are relocating from a different state or a freelancer worried about someone understanding your 1099s, Rent Scene is definitely the place to try!

Rent Scene is amazing. I moved to Philadelphia for residency and did not have a lot of time to spend looking for apartments. They do so much work and are seriously the best at responding. It’s rare you wait even 10 minutes for a response. They provide a local to walk around with you to see places which really adds to the experience of finding a place and area of the city that’s fits you best. I would 100000% recommend to anyone. Request Lisa, she’s awesome!

These guys were sent from heaven. I had a really great experience looking for apartments as I was moving from Atlanta to Philadelphia. The team was so responsive and attentive to my needs and ask. They presented me with a variety of options based on my preferences; I narrowed those options down to a handful and then they scheduled and toured the properties with me. The agent assigned to me was very attentive and helped tremendously in explaining the city, the neighborhoods, what they offer, things to do, etc. This was a great experience and I’ve already recommended them to a friend who is also moving.

Since day one the staff at Rental Scene went above and beyond our expectations. Alex was incredibly helpful in not just sharing available units with us but really helping us think through what we wanted, helping us think creatively past our must haves to get a better mix of all worlds, scheduling convenient times despite our crazy schedule, and being so available every time we needed her. Additionally, Dwight was always timely, knowledgeable and willing to do any follow up necessary.We were also incredibly shocked with the immediate availability of a Rent Scene representative every time we needed someone, despite it being after hours at times! Your company really does take the time to understand the anxious and stressful process of looking for a place and makes yourself available for the entire process, we are so impressed!

I had a great experience with these guys! Not only did they quickly respond to our inquiries for rent, but Adrian and the team also provided a wide array of other locations that met our needs! Not only were there a lot of good options provided but we also got to visit them soon after responding, and thanks to them, the place we found was great! Would definitely recommend!

Alex, Lisa, & Team at rent scene are absolutely AMAZING. From the beginning of working with them, they made everything so easy for me. Alex is amazingly responsive and helpful. I had the best time looking at several apartments with Lisa. She is very patient and was able to give me great advice when finally choosing a place. This is my 4th move in Philadelphia and I wish I worked with them the first time because they truly go out of their way to make sure you have a place to call home. Thank you for all your help!!!

Rent Scene went above and beyond in helping us find an apartment in Philadelphia. Theyre responsive, generous, and competent at what they do. Our agent, Alex, made this process much easier and much quicker than we expected and was understanding and helpful every step of the way. Moving from Colorado to Philadelphia would have proved to be a much more difficult task if we werent able to also do virtual showings which Dwight excelled at. Thank you, thank you Rent Scene for making our move unbelievably easier!

These guys are great! I really loved working with Tori, shes so helpful. They are really on top of everything and work hard to get you the best deal possible. They were diligent about getting everything done in a timely manner so that I didnt miss out on this wonderful apartment. They fought to get me a reduced rent, and a cheaper application fee!I would highly recommend them if you want someone reliable and trustworthy to help you find a great home. And the best part is its FREE!!

Rent Scene is the real deal. I got in touch about my move back to Philly and Alex responded quickly with a bunch of great info. After finding out what I was looking for, they provided me with a long list of possibilities -- I picked the ones I liked and they did the rest, scheduling back-to-back tours on the day I was in town. Although I ultimately went with a place I found elsewhere, I was super impressed with Alex and the whole team. Thank you!

Rent Scene did a great job of setting up showings in Philadelphia. I didnt know that the showing agent was going to be a different person than the person that I emailed with to pick apartments (I believe the showing agent was contracted out). The showing agent was really nice and informative, so it turned out fine. I only wish I could have gotten more information about the different neighborhoods while I was searching for listings, but that is hard to do via phone or email. I ultimately signed for an apartment that I had found via my own searching, but the viewings organized by Rent Scene were good second choice options.

Rent scene was very helpful in finding an apartment in Philly! We were able to get the apartment we really wanted at a reasonable price and ideal start date. Tori was particularly easy to work with and responded to all of our emails (even over the holidays). I would happily recommend rent scene to others in the future!

Rent scene was very easy to work with. Very responsive whenever I had questions. Made the apt search so much easier. Even followed up with me when I needed following up with--when your inbox is flooded and work is busy, apt search can become overwhelming, so it was great to have someone on top of it and checking in w me. Love it! Love the new apt!

Rent Scene was incredibly helpful in providing help during my rental home search. They took the time to take me to every property of my choosing and also recommended some of their own. Rent Scene also provided tips on what I should be looking out for and inside information on neighborhoods. Once my property was selected, they even helped me in preparing all of my documents and as a result I became a stronger applicant. Marvis Burns ( ask for him) answered all of my questions and made it a mission to help me obtain the home I had chosen. If you need help looking for home/an apartment for rent look no further and contact Rent Scene immediately, you will not regret it!

I just moved to Philly and Rent Scene took all the hassle out of finding a new apartment - I just gave them a general idea of what I was looking for and my price range, and they came back to me the same day with suggestions. They even sent someone to viewings with me, and it always felt like they were working for my best interests. Whats more, the service is free for the tenant! Strongly recommend!

Review №25

From start to finish RentScene was on top of their game. During my long distance move to Philadelphia, they made it as seamless as possible. I want to extend a huge THANK YOU to Fabiana and Adrian. Adrian set up the appointments and sent me a live list of all the properties and times. Any additions/removals were updated in real time, which was greatly appreciated. Fabiana was absolutely amazing and made my entire on-the-ground experience a breeze. I was completely flustered from a hectic morning and she pretty much worked her magic. By the time we were done looking at spaces I completely forgot about my crazy day and was comfortable, happy and ready to move forward with the perfect apartment for me. These guys are truly great at what they do!

My girlfriend and I are moving from Louisiana to Philadelphia and were a little overwhelmed trying to find a place to live. We contacted a Rent Scene listing and from there things got much easier! Paul sent us a list of about 12 properties that were all what we were looking for, and through them we found an amazing place!They worked with the management group of the property to get us a video tour of the place so we could see it without actually being there. Paul was so great to work with, I would highly recommend using Rent Scene if theyre in your area!

Rent Scene was a pleasure to work with. Viewing apartments with Lisa was a fun, positive experience. Her experience and ideas made a daunting process seem much simpler. The team was prompt with communication and made the moving process stress-free. Would definitely recommend and will be using this service if I move in Philadelphia again.

Review №28

We enjoyed using Rent Scene to find our new apartment. Paul and Tori were extremely attentive and provided several lists of potential apartments based on on our criteria. They made the apartment search from start to finish much easier. When we chose our apartment Rent Scene even stepped in as our broker and assisted with executing the lease. They were there for us from start to finish, and we really appreciated it. Oh, did I mention this entire process was free? I highly recommend using Rent Scene if you are looking to make the apartment search easier for yourself. I wish Rent Scene operated in every city. The only point of pain, was occasionally we were not able to see apartments on our tour due to miscommunication between rent scene and the apartments. Overall great service and if we are looking for a new apartment we will definitely be using Rent Scene again.

Rent Scene is a middleman company, standing in between you and the rental agencies / landlords that own the apartments you’re looking for. The bottom line: it works. Rent Scene went above and beyond to find an apartment that fits my needs, and it didn’t cost me a single cent. They put together three different lists of apartments for me to check out based on my specifications, in three different target neighborhoods. They were responsive when I brought up my hesitations about a certain rental agency, and upfront with me when I had questions about their business. They were able to set up last-minute, same-day apartment viewings - one of which would take me to the residence that I’m currently typing this from now. Overall the service was stellar, professional, and a bit of a no-brainer. The only downside that I can see to using Rent Scene would be a limitation of choice - in my understanding, they’ll only find you apartments with leasing agencies and landlords that have a deal set up with them. However, I can safely say that this limitation did not adversely affect me. My experience with Rent Scene was excellent!

Rent Scene was really perfect for my needs. I had less than a week to move in to a new place before my new job started, so a very tight timeframe. From the start of the process to the very end, the team helped me with every aspect of apartment hunting, from searching to signature on a lease. Alex helped me out with all the property searching. Jon was awesome with showing me around the city to all the different properties and Tori coordinated it all and was with me until the very end. It really is such a great service, and Id recommend it to anyone.

The folks at Rent Scene were great! My husband and I were looking to move to a bigger apartment. Not only did Rent Scene assist us with finding one, but they were also able to negotiate $200/month under asking price! Everyone was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend using their service.

Rent Scene helped us out tremendously, as we were struggling to find an apartment (especially one that is dog-friendly). We were living in Vermont, so we could not get to Philadelphia quickly and did not know areas very well. Paul helped us search and find an excellent apartment. Jonny was great at showing the place and offered all resources that he had to make sure we knew all of the information. When there was a slight discrepancy with the lease, the team at Rent Scene worked with the property owner and representative to work it out and I feel advocated for us well. All team members that we worked with were easy to reach and very responsive to our questions. I would definitely recommend Rent Scene to others!

I moved to Philadelphia from Boston for a new job and was crunched for time with finding a place in the city close to a train station. I worked with Tori and could not have been more pleased with the process. I was blown away by how quickly she was able to get me into places to look at and help with my transition. After getting in touch with her, right away she was able to set me up with numerous places to look at based on my price range as well as the area I was looking to rent in. I am new to the city, so I had no idea where any of the places were, but she navigated me around the city and she made the whole process very simple for me. I got lost a few times thinking I knew where I was going, which I then called her and within minutes she was able to set me back on the correct path. I was extremely impressed by how patient she was, as I had no idea where anything in the city was or the names of the different sections of the city. Because I was crunched for time, I hoped to find a place my first weekend in the city, even though I knew this would be a huge challenge. Tori went above and beyond to show numerous places for the majority of Saturday as well as more places that Sunday morning before I had to leave. She helped me until around 7pm that Saturday and was ready to go at 9 am the next morning to make sure I was able to see all the places that I wanted, as well as get comfortable with the place I was eyeing in on. She was also very honest with me as well and clearly wanted what was best in finding the best place for me. Looking back, if I did not get in touch with Tori, I would probably be staying at an extended stay hotel and would be out now on an apartment search. Because of her, I was able to make a seamless transition to a new city without having much to worry about. She went above and beyond with helping me and I could not have been more pleased with how helpful she was. Thanks again, Tori!

My experience with Rent Scene was extremely easy and painless. I worked with 3 people during my apartment search. I sent them a list of what I was looking for, they pulled numerous apartments to choose from. They set up all the appointments and sent me an itinerary. I met with another associate from rent scene who took us around to 8 apartments in one day. She understood exactly what we were looking for. We ended up signing a lease and getting an apartment that day. It was vey easy fun and relaxing. I would most definitely recommend Rent Scene if you are looking for awesome apartments in Philadelphia.

Great Experience! I was looking for an apt for my son in Philadelphia and was only going to be in town for 24 hrs. I contacted them beforehand, and they sent me listings, and were very responsive. They set up all the appointments for me, even the ones with other listing companies! They even added an apartment for me to see that I hadnt even asked about, and thats a good thing, because thats the one he rented! I am so pleased with Rent Scene!

I moved from Los Angeles to Philadelphia and used Rent Scene to scout out apartments while I was still in Los Angeles. Rent Scene helped set up a tour schedule based on my interests and I ended up picking out an apartment my very first day in Philadelphia.

What Rent Scene gives you isnt just a plethora of options but a dedicated and fast responding service with a guarantee that whatever questions and needs you have will be met quickly and well. Im guessing they vet their landlords as much as they vet the tenants so if you dont want any bad surprises and enjoy fair-priced properties, Rent Scene is the way to go!

I moved from Atlanta to Philadelphia for grad school and didnt have much insight into what my housing options were. The Rent Scene website helped me filter my search based on some of the criteria that were important to me (e.g. monthly rent, vicinity to school, amenities, etc.). Once I made the trip out to Philadelphia to look at some of the more promising options, Marvis was very flexible in terms of scheduling tours, checking out units that I was interested in, and proposing a few other options that I hadn’t considered that aligned with my criteria. I ultimately ended up moving into one of the units that he suggested. We maintained open lines of communication with the Rent Scene and the leasing office and were able to sign the lease shortly thereafter. I would recommend the Rent Scene to anyone who plans to move to the Philadelphia area.

Im a university professor from Mexico. In the context of a sabbatical research year at a Philly university, I had the problem of finding a suitable apartment while still living in Mexico City. Doing a previous trip for apartment hunting was too costly, to I started searching through various online realtors. By accident I came across several glowing reviews that led me to Rent Scene. I went to their web page, was delighted with the brand promise (Apartment hunting for busy people) and contacted them.That is how I met Alex, who in a couple of weeks ran several searches for me. That long exchange of e-mails taught me a lot about Philly apartments. I soon learned that the information from Rent Scene was more complete and updated than other sites, so I got a much better idea about my options. By the time I finally landed in Philly, Rent Scene had scheduled visits for me, and had helped me narrow a large initial list to a half dozen. And then I was personally met by Jon, another guy at the company who drove me in his car to several of the properties, providing even more local advice, until I told him OK, now Im certain which unit I want.In fact Alex pretty soon figured what building I was going to like and told me so, and after visiting the property I had to admit he had been right from the start. And although our first choice was picked up by someone else, I was able to secure another unit in the same building, where I will happily move into next week. Now that Im in Philly, many locals have told me how lucky I am to live on Rittenhouse Square and in that building. But it was Rent Scene who freely shared their local savvy.Therefore, I cannot recommend too highly the people at Rent Scene. They are on your side 100%. They will provide you with priceless intelligence about the Philly renting scene if youre moving here. They will take out a lot of the stress of a moving situation by providing personal attention and a locals ear on the ground. Thanks to everyone at Rent Scene for helping me land safely.

After getting accepted into a post-graduate program in Philadelphia I immediately began my online search for the perfect pet friendly apartment to spend the next 2+ years in. Being in a completely different part of the country made me a bit nervous apartment hunting online and not knowing too much about the city. I contacted Rent Scene about one particular apartment (which ended up being taken up quickly) and they went above and beyond to help me find others! I was in contact with Alex who asked me all sorts of questions about what I was looking for in an apartment and bless his heart for putting up with my pickiness (pet friendly, MUST have a bath tub, within/close to center city, high end kitchen, particular kitchen layouts, a loft/guest space, etc.)After communicating through numerous emails and even chatting on the phone we had complied a comprehensive list of yays and nays. He set up all the appointments for me to tour apartments at for when I flew up to Philadelphia to apartment hunt and they sent over one of their apartment guides/specialists right over with me, Lisa. Lisa was great in helping me weigh the pros and cons of each place and was deff trying to get the best deal for me by asking about deals and specials! She walked with me from apartment to apartment within the city and was a great guide about stuff in the area. I would and will recommend Rent Scene to anyone in Philadelphia or looking to move there! Also, I forgot to mention their service is completely free! Woo hoo!

Review №56

Moving is literally one of the most painful experiences known to (wo)man! Rent Scene made this process much less overwhelming for a young lady who knew absolutely nothing about Philly. I connected with Marvis, the founder, many times before and after both of my tours to ensure I found a spot that met all of my qualifications (e.g., price, amenities, proximity to school/food/clubs, etc.). When the first place did not work out, he went into overdrive to help me find another. I am very happy with the BRAND NEW apartment I ended up with and would highly recommend Rent Scene to anyone who is moving to the Philadelphia area (especially Wharton students as they have the Rittenhouse Square scene on lock)!
