TrustArt Realty Wins Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites 2026 — Best Property Management Company for the Third Year in a Row

TrustArt Realty Wins Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites 2026 — Best Property Management Company for the Third Year in a Row

Philadelphia, PA — May 2026. TrustArt Realty has been named the Best Property Management Company in Philadelphia by The Philadelphia Inquirer as part of their 2026 Philly Favorites program. This marks the third consecutive year TrustArt Realty has received this recognition — winning in 2024, 2025, and now 2026.

TrustArt Realty is the only property management company in Philadelphia to win the Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites award three years in a row.

What Is the Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites Award?

The Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites is an annual reader-voted recognition program run by The Philadelphia Inquirer, one of the most respected and widely read news organizations in the Philadelphia region. Winners are determined entirely by reader votes — not by advertising spend, pay-to-play directory placements, or editorial selection.

Winning is a direct reflection of what Philadelphia landlords, property owners, and the broader community think of a company based on real experience. There is no way to buy this award.

TrustArt Realty has now won it three consecutive times: 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Why Three Consecutive Years Matters

Winning once could be momentum. Winning twice could be a good year. Winning three consecutive times is a pattern — and patterns reflect something real about how a company operates.

For Philadelphia property owners evaluating which company to trust with their rental portfolio, three consecutive Philly Favorites wins means:

• Consistent client satisfaction year over year, not just a spike
• Reputation that holds up across changing market conditions — including the post-pandemic rental market normalization, rising costs, and new city legislation like the Safe Healthy Home Act
• Community trust from real landlords, real investors, and real Philadelphia residents who have worked with us directly

This is not the first recognition TrustArt Realty has received. The company is also:

• #1 Property Management Company in Philadelphia and #14 in the United States as ranked by PropertyManagement.com for 2025, using their independent TrueMatch™ evaluation system
• The first and only property management company in Pennsylvania to hold the Certified Residential Management Company (CRMC) designation — the highest professional certification available in residential property management, awarded by the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM)
• Rated 4.7 stars on Google across 326+ verified reviews

A Message from Yuriy Skripnichenko, Founder of TrustArt Realty

"Winning the Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites award for the third year in a row is humbling. This award is voted on by people — real landlords, real investors, real members of the Philadelphia community who have worked with us and chosen to recognize us publicly. That means more to us than any paid ranking or marketing badge.

We have been doing this since 2012. Philadelphia is our city. We manage properties in neighborhoods we know block by block, and we serve clients who trust us with investments that represent years of their hard work. Every year we try to get better — better systems, better communication, better compliance knowledge, better outcomes for our owners.

Three years in a row tells me we are moving in the right direction. We are not stopping here."

— Yuriy Skripnichenko, Licensed Real Estate Broker, Certified Property Manager, Founder of TrustArt Realty

Philadelphia's Property Management Landscape in 2026

Winning this award three consecutive years comes against a competitive backdrop. Philadelphia's property management market includes dozens of active companies, and 2026 has brought significant operational challenges for landlords including:

• The Safe Healthy Home Act, signed by Mayor Cheryl Parker on May 7, 2026, which introduces new landlord compliance requirements effective November 1, 2026 — including good cause eviction requirements, expanded tenant retaliation protections, stricter Certificate of Rental Suitability rules, and a future proactive inspection program
• A rental market softening citywide, with average days on market rising to 65 days and a growing gap between listed and closed rent prices
• Rising operating costs including property taxes, insurance premiums, and maintenance expenses
• New legislative requirements around rental licensing, habitability standards, and tenant rights

Navigating this environment requires more than just collecting rent. It requires compliance expertise, local market knowledge, and the operational infrastructure to protect owner investments. This is what TrustArt Realty has been building since 2012.
