They're a joke. If I could give 0 stars I would. As seen in the photos there was mold in the house we rented from them for several years. Along with mold, the house was equipped with faulty wiring. Our kitchen lights did not work no matter how many times we changed the bulbs or the wattage of the bulb. We had to have a lamp plugged in the kitchen to see in there. Lack of ventilation in both bedrooms leave similar mold patterns on the walls. Gas stove went out several times, oven was out from November-January... AND WE REPORTED THE ISSUES ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND DURING THE YEARLY INSPECTIONS. They never once attempted to fix said issues. Our heater went out once, reported it. Didn't fix it. I feel for the person or family that lives within this monstrosity. As this house did nothing but leave my family with several health issues. Among one of them, recurring pneumonia. read more

My husband and I are both realtors who own an apartment complex in Grover Beach. We live out of the area and were very frustrated after several bad experiences with management companies. Our wish was to find a reliable property management company who was professional , cared about the maintenance of our property, good at bookeeping, deposited the rent money on time and courteous to work with. WE HIT THE JACKPOT! Rob Lee and Tessie of California Property Services are responsible, timely and a joy to work with. Our CPA commented what a difference in the standard of care we now receive compared to the prior companies. Thank you Rob and Tessie we are so grateful to have found you in 2019. read more

If anyone is considering renting from this Property Management, I urge you to heavily reconsider. These people are EXTREMELY shady. They will do anything to keep your security deposit. Definitely consider another management company. They also have no problem taking your application fee and not getting back with you. I wish I could give this management company 0 stars out of 5. read more

I've been renting from them for 7 years. I have never had an issue with any of the staff. I've lived in two different apartments through this company and both times they have been awesome. What's funny is Amber has always been more than helpful with any issues that have come up. Their entire staff has always been gracious and professional and accommodating. Maybe the issue with the staff has less to do with the staff and more to do with the person presenting the issues. Our hot water heater went out and the next day they had someone out there to replace it. Our apartment is old and like old property things go south from time to time but 1 call and they resolved everything. I have recommended this company to all of my renting friends and every one of them say the same awesome things about it. Great job CPS. I wished you had an office in Fresno. read more

I have rented from CPS for years both in Shell Beach, Pismo & Nipomo! I have referred many potential renters to CPS. I think they are GREAT! read more

I have been renting from CPS for 10 years now and have only the best things to say about the management. I am a business owner and have a wonderful, thriving business in Grover Beach Ca. The property is well maintained, has an excellent appearance, and if I have an issue with mechanics it is quickly addressed! What more can you ask for?!!! Thank you California Property Services... your entire staff is rapidly receptive and extremely professional. Looking forward to the next 10 years! read more

California Property Services - Property Management Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

We applied for a property and they seemed very friendly at first. They called our references which show perfect rental history for years. We waited several days and heard nothing. Ended up calling the company to see what was going on with our application and they were incredibly rude on the phone and acted as if it was a huge burden and several days later we had to call again and they said our application had been rejected. They said have other properties available but they wanted bank statements showing that we have a joint savings account and some other ridiculous information. Based on the other reviews you can see here, avoid this company they are just interested in your application fees and do not actually care about trying to find you a place to live. read more

Very, very unprofessional and Brittany Lopez is extremely rude and always had a horrible attitude. No way to conduct business.

This company starts out to be real helpful and kind and smiling but give it some time. They will fix your issues in your rental after a time they will say they no longer can have you stay at that home you're in for excuses to get you out to have higher rent paid through other new tenants. I would never rent from these people again nor buy anything from them they are not to be trusted their snakes and they own a lot of property managements from being that way for years good luck to all of you! I was with them for 10 years. I will say Amber has been the best one in the most reliable but she hasn't been there as long as the others and there's a great turnover there. read more

I've rented from CPS for about 5 years and they are one of the best management companies I've ever used. If there was any kind of problem, they fixed it immediately! They always kept me well informed for any exterior painting, sealing our parking area, general maintenance, etc. Each year, they would inspect the apartment and address any issues that needed attention and kept everything in top working order. More specifically, Amber and Sam are the nicest, gracious, most professional duo in the company and were so great to me when I had to relocate to PA. I would absolutely recommended this company to anyone looking for a company that cares about you and the integrity of the rental. Thanks CPS, Amber and Sam! read more

A revision from yesterday. I went from 1 star to 4. People have bad days and to make a long story short, I took my deposit in and it was accepted. I will be moving and i must say as soon as I found this place I was on it, I told the girls I wanted it. I was in that weekend to see it, because I work and I knew I wanted it. Yes, I would recommend them to everyone and anyone. Brittany and Sammie, your girls rock. THANK YOU! read more

1 star because i can't give 0, due to the black mold in my apartment :) oh the joy of getting sick with black mold!! Don't rent from this company, its NOT safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rented for a year and got out asap!! Told them of the mold issues and was told to wipe it off with a wet paper towel, WTF that does NOT do anything! Also the ceiling caving in that had to keep being plastered was another issue never fully dealt with. Had neighbors I had to call the cops on due to violence and noise issues that CPS ignored completely. Worst rental service I've ever had. And yes the rumors are true Amber is a *****! read more

If I could do it over again.. California Property services would not be my selection as a property management company. They are lazy unresponsive and really do not care about their tenants. I was one for 2.5 years and have a yucky taste in my mouth from dealing with them. As of today it has been 23 days since I vacated the property I was renting... and I STILL have yet to hear from them in regards to my deposit. I spoke to my Real Estate Lawyer today and he had advised me that they need to communicate my deposit by 21 days.. .called them today and they still don't know what is going on. I am pretty sure my deposit will be close to NILL as they are the blood sucking type. If you can avoid this property management company .. do so. If not.. good luck. http://www.cpspropertymanagement.com/ DONT DEAL WITH THEM!! read more

This place has terrible service. No response to emails and voicemails. Out to lunch or just non-existent. I've visited many other properties and have had timely responses and friendly service. Go check out other places for sure. read more

I live next door to some apartments they manage. I have deal with... 1. Trash over my fence and in my yard. 2. Shopping carts being left in my yard. 3. What looked to be stolen item stashed in my bushes??? 4. Loud tenants that hang out in their garage until 5 AM. With all of these issues, I have tried calling California Property Services. They NEVER answer their phone. And I have yet to get a call returned. EVER.. Not one!!!! Even after I was able to speak to a receptionist and tell her that I was serious (7th phone call) and that the next step was code enforcement. I tried being nice. I've been professional. They simply don't care. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to either rent from them or to have them in charge of my rental. Horrid HORRID!!! read more

Was told one day that a property was still available, and that they were still accepting applications on it and to come in the next day. We came in the next day, and we (my wife and I) were told the property was rented already. Does the right hand know what the left is doing?? I'm very disappointed with all but ONE property management company we've dealt with here on the Central Coast since we moved here eight months ago! read more

I want to start by saying that it saddens me to have to give CPS 1 star, but it was well deserved. The application process was smooth, but I had to break my lease due to the fact that i was moving out of town for my job. The property management charged me $250 even though i found the renter for them. On top of that, my deductions on my $1,500 deposit was bogus. I was charged for "general cleaning" and blinds over 100 dollars, even though I had a cleaner come in to clean it just days prior. I sent in my invoice of the cleaning service like they asked me to do, but when it came to actually paying me back, they gave me the run around. Apparently their property manager AUTOMN (with no last name), is in 24/7 meetings and yet to review the claims...sent in 2 weeks ago. I would highly recommend against using this property service for their poor communication and just overall being shady. Blatent disrespect for my time and money. If you decide to rent with them, I highly recommend you document your walk through thoroughly...like video status. (decided to post on both pismo and AG branch but my interactions, or lack there of were in AG) read more

I would NEVER rent from these people if you can avoid them. They tend to be the monopoly in this small and lovely beachside community but they're not the ONLY people to rent from. I should have trusted my better judgement and not rented from them. Our first meeting proved absurd. Even though we were from out of town and VERY interested, they would not take our names and phone numbers or e-mail and could not take down any info from us to contact us if a property came up that we might be interested in and, they would not give us their last names - issues with past tenants perhaps? Who knows but they were very unhelpful. They also lied to us about the property we rented and were not forthcoming with all kinds of problems the property had in the past including bad plumbing, leaky roof, bad wiring, shared utilities, etc. There's a lot of shady illegalities about the way they don't disclose pertinent info. Especially when they did not disclose with a an advance notice the intent to sell the property - clearly a sign of some sort of prejudice on their part. humph! They are far from managers and depend on the tenants to oversee and supervise the workers they send to the property. They even expected us to show our apartment when we were moving out. I though that was their job. I speak from experience. My partner and I paid over $83,000 to live in one of their apartments for about 5 years. In that period of time, we had one room with 3 years of leaks from a bad roof and many unsuccessful attempts at repair, a faulty wiring system that fritzed out regularly and was "repaired" unsuccessfully 3 times in our tenancy, we had three bad stoves things that were undisclosed to us like the fact that the laundry facilities including electric and hot water were on OUR METERS, and we endured evictions of other tenants due to their lack of good judgement of character in accepting other tenants... They never once offered one dime off our rent from our loss of use and inconvenience we incurred. Really rude. California Property Services would rarely come by the property to do any type of "maintenance" of the grounds, replace burned out light bulbs in common areas, weed, etc, even though all of these types of things were on our lease as their responsibilities. These were all things we were supposedly paying for. The one positive I can give them is this, we did get our entire deposit back. Oh, and my partner and I have NEVER run into anyone that has a single good thing to say about them. That's surely saying something as far as I can tell... read more

The staff is always so helpful. Especially Mishell! She is very prompt at returning phone calls and always professional. She's very knowledgeable . We were able to find the perfect rental! I have since referred a few friends and they have all been very happy with the service. We all know moving is stressful enough but California Property management makes finding a new place to call home a lot sweeter. Thank you Mishell. Your a gem! read more

CPS is great. Very easy to work with, friendly, and very competent. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. read more

I had the opportunity to work with California Property Services as I was relocating to the Pismo Beach area. I did my research with property management companies and was very pleased with my experience. Brittany is a great receptionist; always polite and willing to address the rental property issues and following up to ensure the contractor followed up. Amber and Sam were extremely understanding as I moved out/in/out and had to break the lease twice. Both are very professional and appreciate their understanding. read more

Great people and great service. Autum was so helpful and they went above and beyond. Excellent experience.

Worst management company I have ever used. Currently a tenant because of the apt location but the management company is very disorganized and the property isn't maintained. Current apartment smells like smoke even though its non-smoking, stains on the carpet, cabinets have water damage, and stains on the counter tops. I cant imagine that the last tenant received all of their security deposit, that money should be used to repair the damages. read more

Customer service is horrible. Amber was so rude. Me and my bf went and saw a rental on Saturday and the following Monday I went in to apply for it and Amber said so rudely that it was already rented . She said it so abruptly and didn't even check, it really rubbed me the wrong way. Thanks to her this company is getting 1 star. read more

This place WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. It's a scam. You will pay for an application and never hear from them again. Please please please don't waste your money. read more

This company has "managed" my house in Pismo Beach for a couple years. I did not hire them, they inherited my account when the previous professional company that provided good service sold their business to them. In my experience, they have taken sometimes weeks to return emails and calls.Often, I had to follow up. I have had to do their job in showing my property because they "DON'T SHOW PROPERTY ON THE WEEKENDS" eventhough that is when the prospective tenant wants to see it. When I asked them what my house would rent for, it took them 3 weeks to "research" the current market. I found out from 2 other Property Managers that they were off the mark by $100-150 per month. Both of them knew the market well and took them a few seconds to tell me the current rental value. Good for the tenant, but not market value for the owner. However, my tenant also had numerous compaints to ME that they were rude and didn't seem to know what they were doing. They charge $20 per tenant application fee and never showed my unit to any of them. Lastly when I terminated them, they sent me my tax forms with a wrong name as well as SOMEONE ELSE'S tax forms, which contain their social security number. After I showed my house to 1 tenant, they charged over $577.50 for their "placement fee" as well as 8% "management fee" for a month's rent. The only thing they did was place an ad, which I had to REMIND them to do because they had not even taken a few minutes to post it . This was 3 days after they received the tenant gave his 30 daynotice that he was moving out.They also collected $20 per applicant and I had to call and email them to get an update. If you want a Property Manager that actually does what you hire and pay them to do...look elsewhere! read more

Amber has been the best. She took a chance on me back in September of 2019 and now that I need something bigger in size she got right to work and made it happen. She has always been very pleasant to work with and makes sure to stay in communication with me. I love that she has a sense of humor because you definitely need one when dealing with me...just sayin'. Every time that I have gone into the office the staff has been very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend them when looking for a rental. read more

Complete lack of efficiency. I called ahead and was told the rental I was looking at was available immediately. I drive 20 minutes each way to go see it. I'm told to fill out an application and confirmed I'd be able to to move in tomorrow or the the next day if approved. While filling out the application I hear someone else asking about an application they turned in this morning. He is told it takes 3 to 4 business days to run an application. I left a new job 2 hours early and didn't get paid for those hours to go see a unit that IS NOT AVAILABLE immediately as advertised. What a waste of time and money. I've had friends tell me how awful these people are. I should have listened. read more

Today I came in with my son and daughter and I was very pleased with the office. It was friendly and clean. There was seating for me and the kids to fill out an application! While I was filling out the application everyone was very kind to me and my kids. All ladies in the front were professionally dressed. I seen a unit and was pleased with the property! I think if you treat someone with kindness and respect you will definitely get it back in return. read more

My wife and I have rented through this company for a little over two years now. I would say they are actually better than most property management companies I've dealt with (which isn't saying much, admittedly). The staff have always been friendly and have made required repairs to the house, though it takes a while. To address some of the other issues I've read: Almost all of the other reviewers have noted that they tend to be unresponsive to phone calls and this is true. I think they just have too few employees for the number of properties they manage. If you have an emergency they will respond quickly, otherwise, it can take quite a while to have someone get back to you. I've never had them stop by the house or schedule an inside repair without calling first to let us know. We have on occasion had contractors / agents stop by and survey outside without being told in advance, but that's not really a big deal to me. Lastly, some of these reviews appear to be from people that simply live or rent near some inconsiderate people that are renting from Cal Prop or are renting in some crappy properties. If you find stolen goods in your bushes, call the police when you find them. They'll stop hiding them there pretty quickly. If they are making too much noise, ask them to keep it down. You can hear your neighbor snoring through the walls. Well, that sucks, but a management company just cares about safety and health code stuff, not so much this. I hate to say it, but sometimes you get what you pay for. read more

I stopped in a couple days ago and was immediately impressed with the genuine customer service I received from Brittany! I feel like I had so many questions, but she took her time in answering and was so very friendly. I feel like great customer service is hard to find these days but I was so pleased with my experience here. I'm happy I found a property management company I feel like I can trust! read more

This is the worst property management company I have ever had the experience of working with. Not only are they rude on the phone but they do not follow through with what they say. I cannot believe that anybody would trust their house in the hands of these crooks. Never have I been so disgusted with the way I was treated and the poor customer service. It's no wonder they have such a low rating and have so many bad reviews. I would advise anyone who's thinking about dealing with this company to run as far away as possible. The owners of this company should seriously take note and change the way they do business before they completely go out of business. So sad to think that humans can treat other humans this way read more

Great customer service! My move in was extremely painless with them. I've been renting with them for 3 months now and have had no problems. I read their reviews prior to applying and was somewhat skeptical, however, I personally had a great experience. Their office staff is very responsive and friendly. They definitely get 5 stars from me! read more

My family an I rented from CPM for 12 years. They never fixed things when they needed to be fixed. The neighbors unit caught fire from leaving stove on. Had I not been home an called 911. The whole complex would've burnt down. THERE WAS MOLD. had trouble breathing. Ended up in the hospital from it. Once I finally bugged them enough to check my place. Even tho they'd NEVER ADMIT there was mold. They redid the bathroom. Repair guys said oh yes it's mold. Others denied it. The water heater broke. Water came in thru the walls... I called at midnight. Had I not called it would've had tons of water damage. Then the water pipes broke...water was coming in the bedroom...the carpet guy came pulled it up...I asked is that MOLD?! HE SAID YES! I said other guys wouldn't admit it. He says he can't get fired he owns his own business. But it was more mold...covered up...who knows how long it had been there!!! Shortly after we mention the word MOLD we got evicted. I thought I did right by calling 911. An what not to save their unit. What a mistake that was. Only reason we stayed so long was because it was cheap. Well no wonder why.... I'd never recommend anyone to rent from this company. They only got 2 outta 5 stars...not good ratings... If I could give them negative stars. read more

I absolutely love the entire California Property Services team! Their customer service is second to none!

I have been renting through California Property Services for about 10 years. The agents and office staff are very helpful and really professional. I appreciate that they are willing to help and do exactly as they say they will. Brittany, Autumn, Amber, and Sam, you all rock! Thank you, great service! read more

People are extremely rude and receptionist could use some training. She just doesn't get it at all.... Sad really because they have some really nice rentals. People should 're-think using them if they want to keep their properties rented for longer than a couple of months. read more

California properties manages our rental, and has for 10 or more years. Since we live out of town it is very convenient and avoids the head aches that come with rental repairs and tenants. The experience has been mutual, and I only wish I had learned about delegating property management to experts years ago. I would have accomplished much more in life. We are very pleased with the Staff, the management and their response. I would recommend them any day and especially to young novice people. Ray Holm read more

I had my house professionally cleaned when I moved out of a house I rented from California property services . They let me know they would not be renewing my lease and asked if I would leave early. A few weeks later I received my deposit back and they deducted money for cleaning the house. If your going to terminate the rental agreement I would suggest an inspection prior to moving out so they can not scam you out of your deposit. read more
