Signature Investment Realty

Cant speak to the entire agency, but Eleanor Safer was a great agent. Incredibly helpful and friendly, willing to devote time to clients to assist them in the process of securing a lease.

Wonderful apartments in the heart of Old City. The building manager and maintenance are very responsive and helpful!

I lived in this building (Clinton Street) for one year. It is a quiet, friendly, and nice place with an abundance of natural light. The building is conveniently located very close to Whole Foods and Acme. Additionally, there is a lovely park in close proximity. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, and I genuinely miss this place.

Please be careful before renting a unit from Signature Investment Realty. One of their buildings, Cypress Apartments, located at Filter Square, has 8 fire code violations and 4 maintenance code violations from the City of Philadelphia. Files were opened on October 19, 2022. The building manager, Eleanor Safer, has been unhelpful. She lied about the mice problem, claiming it had never been noticed before. However, we found a previous tenant in our unit on Yelp who had experienced the same issues and had been complaining to Eleanor Safer about them for months. Go seek help from L&I and read the Implied Warranty of Habitability in Pennsylvania if you need it. Fun fact: You have the right to terminate the lease if the building has code violations. However, Signature may attempt to keep your deposit and last month's rent. You can hire a lawyer to help you retrieve your money. - Update: They failed the re-investigation, and L&I is now taking them to court.

Please do not rent from these people. You can find far better housing for the same price. I live at Cypress Courts apartments and couldn't tour the unit because of covid. 6 months into my lease and all I have done is fight with management about mice, leaking pipes, poor repairs, broken windows, and now no heat. Here is a list of my experience: 1) Moved in with mice nesting in my oven - they replaced it with an inoperable oven and took weeks to fix it. Had to threaten litigation to get them moving. 2) Moved in with mice holes all over my kitchen cabinets. They "fixed" them with loads of spray foam and plywood. 3) Moved in with a kitchen window that doesn't shut at the top. Still hasn't been fixed. 4) Pipe inside bathroom wall was leaking. Professional plumbers wouldn't take the job because it was too large of a fix. Signature's maintenance "fixed" it with spray foam and a trash bag. They only started moving on this once I contacted License and Inspections for a code inspection. 5) Cockroaches and mice are everywhere. I've argued with Eleanor, the building manager, over these things and she continually blames me and says maintenance is too busy...
