After managing our own rental property for years, we made the decision to hire Paul to manage our townhome after our previous renters left. It was the best decision we made during such a busy time in our lives. Paul is incredibly professional and dependable. When we were on a time crunch to turn the place over to the new renters, Paul had the right contacts to get the place ready to be listed. Now that our renters have moved in, it truly saves us the headache of managing the renters needs. We know we can count on Paul to manage our property and to handle the small issues that occasional arise. His fees are well worth the care that he provides. I highly recommend choosing Paul as your property manager. read more

4.5 stars rounded to 5. I found Paul through Yelp in August this year while trying to find a property management company to manage our family rental after we were finally fed up with the previous company. The last company assigned us a property manager who was unresponsive, lazy and incompetent. After contacting multiple property management companies around the contra costa area and interviewing a few of them, my family decided to hire Paul to manage our family rental moving forward. He has been managing the rental since mid September. I've interacted with him multiple times throughout the past 3 months and he has been very efficient and responsive. Communication through email does sometimes take a little longer for a reply but communication via text has been pretty instantaneous. Whenever I needed to get a hold of Paul via cell phone and I leave a voice message, he does reply very promptly. Please do keep in mind that CCPM is a small business and Paul does everything on his own so expectations of getting a response in 5 minutes is unrealistic. Compared to the responsiveness of the previous company my family used, Paul's communication has been great so far and I hope he will keep up the good work. CCPM's monthly management fees are very reasonable especially in the Bay Area where the cost of living is relatively high. With that in mind, the contract provided by CCPM is very detailed in listing all the fees that will be expected if additional requests such as annual inspections is requested by the landlord. I've interviewed a good amount of property management companies prior to selecting CCPM so I definitely can say that his fees (relative to the amount of service he provided) are very affordable and landlord friendly. The owner's portal is also user friendly and his monthly disbursement day is one of the best I've seen after talking to multiple property management companies. Overall, Paul is a very genuine and reliable property manager and even though we live in a world where no one is perfect, I can see him always striving to be the best for his clients. If you are looking for a property management company who can deliver very personable service, I highly recommend CCPM. I look forward to working alongside Paul as a team to manage my family's rental property. An update of our experience will be provided after our one year anniversary is up with CCPM. read more

Paul has been an incredible property manager, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He is hands-on, knowledgeable, and truly looks out for the owner's best interests. He even drove over an hour to one of my properties to fix a faucet himself after others tried to overcharge me -- that level of dedication is rare. He also found me a tenant with pool experience, which allowed me to let go of an overpriced pool service that wasn't doing a good job. The tenant now takes care of the pool and the landscaping, saving me a significant amount of money each month. Paul's fee is very fair, he's punctual, genuine, and extremely resourceful. Because he can often handle things himself, I've saved both time and unnecessary contractor costs. It's natural for people to want someone to blame when things go wrong, but those situations tend to get the most attention. Meanwhile, the people who have smooth, problem-free experiences are usually too busy to stop and leave a five-star review. I want to make sure Paul gets the recognition he deserves. I highly recommend Paul to any property owner looking for a dependable, honest, and proactive property manager. read more

My husband and I have been working with Paul since June 2025 and Paul literally saved us from the most traumatic experience anyone can imagine. We had worked with a prior property manager who did not conduct a proper background check on previous tenants who caused us so much stress and money. I will not go into detail, but as I write this, I am still traumatized by the entire experience. However, I do feel more at ease now that Paul has taken over the property, we are no longer dealing with the prior tenants, Paul has helped get the property ready and listed and have found new tenants to occupy the property. Additionally, despite my husband and I being overseas for my husband's job and on a completely different time zone, Paul has always been responsive, diligent, trustworthy and fair. He was very hands-on and any repairs were done in a timely manner and at reasonable costs. I am also compelled to address a couple false reviews against Paul that were written by "Baked S." Baked S. was my previous tenant. Reviews by Baked S. are false and should not be taken into consideration. I urge you to look at his other Yelp and Google reviews and the responses to those reviews to get a sense of the kind of dishonest and unethical person he is. It was not Paul who found Baked S. to rent our home. My husband and I had worked with a previous property management company who did not conduct a thorough background check on Baked S. so we unfortunately fell victim to Baked S. Baked S. already gave notice to vacate our house even before Paul took on the property. He only lived at our house for about three months. Security deposit was timely returned to Baked S. There was no "active sewage, gas leaks, collapsed drainage, or structural instability" as Baked S. claims. In fact, the City had inspected the home and found it habitable and that there were no conditions rendering the home uninhabitable. When Paul listed our property for rent, which was long after Baked S. had moved out of the property, Baked S. attempted to prevent it from being rented by posting more false information on various websites and platforms about our home. Despite the trouble Baked S. caused and continues to cause us and Paul, Paul never left our side. We know that other property managers would never have worked with us or would have stopped working with us under these circumstances. We cannot express how lucky we are to have found Paul. We are hopeful that things will run smoothly as we continue to work with Paul. read more

I hired Paul to manage my property, but my experience was extremely disappointing. After the tenants moved out, the property was left in a horrendous condition, requiring thousands of dollars in repairs, including carpet replacement. Despite their responsibility to inspect the property and provide guidance on necessary maintenance, the manager never showed up, failed to communicate. This lack of professionalism caused significant stress and financial burden. As a property manager, there is a fiduciary duty to maintain the property, oversee repairs, and return it in the same or better condition. Unfortunately, this standard was not met. I cannot recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable and responsible property management. If you are considering hiring them, be aware that their lack of communication and negligence can leave you with costly surprises. read more

After having to move away from the area for work, I was honestly hesitant at first about turning my property over to a manager - but working with Paul completely changed my perspective. From our first conversation, he made the process easy, transparent, and stress-free. He took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Paul is responsive, proactive, and clearly takes pride in managing properties the right way. Knowing my property is in his hands gives me real peace of mind. What I expected to be complicated turned out to be simple thanks to his professionalism and attention to detail. I'm very glad I decided to work with Paul and would confidently recommend him to anyone who's on the fence about hiring a property manager. read more

Paul Guadarrama's public response to my review is filled with falsehoods, retaliation, and defamation. In his reply, he not only dismissed documented health and safety hazards at 1691 Crescent Dr., but he also publicly disclosed my personal identity and falsely accused me of breaking my lease, failing to pay rent, and threatening others. These statements are untrue, damaging, and legally actionable. More importantly, his own words confirm that he knowingly took on management of this property "full well" aware of serious tenant complaints and ongoing hazards--including sewage, drainage, and structural instability. That is a direct admission of negligence. His claim of repairing a sewer system for under $1,000 when licensed professionals documented a $40,000+ problem either reflects unlicensed work (in violation of CSLB law) or deliberate misrepresentation. My review was based on evidence: inspection reports, agency confirmations, and video recordings. His reply is based on personal attacks and excuses. I have since submitted his response as additional evidence to the California Department of Real Estate (DRE), Contractors State License Board (CSLB), and Contra Costa County authorities, who have all opened investigations into his conduct. Tenants deserve safe homes -- not sewage leaks, gas hazards, retaliation, and defamation. read more

Paul has been the most professional and dedicated property manager I have ever worked with. I have been a tenant of his for a few years now and I couldn't be more happier! Whenever I have an issue at the house, I put in a work order direct to his well designed resident portal. I get a response from him to discuss my issue within just a few hours of putting in the work request. The resident portal allows me to pay the rent with ease with multiple options. Super smooth working with a company that is so professional! Message to homeowners looking for property management, I would transfer all of your properties to CCPM ASAP and Paul will connect with you quickly. He will meet you at your property to discuss any items that need attention before renting. Paul has dozens of contacts from realtors to other properties managers so you can be 100% sure your home will be priced right! I would also utilize Paul's skills at evaluating prospective tenants because of his extensive years of experience working with a wide variety of people. If your home is need of thorough once over or any level of remodel, Paul is your guy! He has a crew of skilled technicians to do small work such as paint touchups or full remodel of kitchen and bathrooms, flooring, and major floor plan changes. Also, I can tell you his move in/out inspection procedures are very detailed to ensure any tenant damages or repairs needed get charged to or resolved by the tenant. Paul would love to meet you soon at all of your available rental properties!! Bottom line for homeowners and future tenants Contra Costa property management is 100% the way to go! read more

After trying to manage our property ourselves we realized what a nightmare property management can be. We had a bad taste in our mouth and were ready to sell but when we found Paul we decided to give it another shot. We are so thankful that Paul has been able to secure renters in our house and the fact that he does all the legwork is money well spent on our end, and his rate is very fair. He is professional, responsive, and kind. We give our highest recommendation to Contra Costa Property Management. read more

We had a terrible experience with this property manager. He placed a tenant without proper background or credit checks -- the tenant had a low credit score and a criminal record. When rent payments stopped, he failed to start the eviction process, and my husband had to handle it ourselves. The tenant left the house in awful condition. Completely unprofessional and careless -- not recommended for anyone who values their property. read more

After being burned by a different property management company, I reached out to Paul based on the reviews on Yelp. I was beyond pleasantly surprised. He is down to earth, efficient, and knowledgeable about the rental market. Under his management, our home was listed for rent after we moved out. Within ONE week, we had a multiple full price rental applications. Paul screened the prospective tenants and our new renters were secured. He is easy to communicate with and takes pride in his work. Since we live out of state, it was imperative that we trust the property management company. I would absolutely recommend CCPM to anyone looking to rent their property or anyone looking to lease a home managed by them. I just wish I had more properties for CCPM to manage! read more

I've known Paul G. at Contra Costa Property Management for many years now. He's an outstanding Property Manager. I've had him help me on several properties.
