I have been outside the US for a prolonged length of stay due to family matters since 2017 and…read morefound out that the tenant who was renting our house was not reliable with what we agreed upon and unruly. We desperately needed a property manager to handle our rental property, after 2 years of being in distress. Lo and behold, my mom and I found Jennifer Diaz with exemplary reviews when she searched on the internet. I had a gut feeling that she was the one! Since then, she has truly been heaven-sent. She possesses the qualities of a great Property Manager for she is very knowledgeable of real estate property laws, hard-working, assertive, patient, conscientious, quick in responding to my inquiries, exuding grace under fire in times of stressful situation, and her negotiation skills are awesome. Her professionalism shows how much she cares in every aspect of her job. She is a miracle worker and has results-oriented mindset. I admire her attention to detail and prompt intervention from minor to major problems. We can focus more on our daily tasks now with the peace of mind, knowing that we are in good hands with Jennifer, and we feel secure with our rental property under her stern oversight. Having someone you can rely and trust for she values transparency is a rare find. The extra mile she will do for you is amazing. Most importantly, we love the fact that she listens to your concerns and would forward her best foot in coming up with a solution to make it doable. She is one of the reasons why we can go on living a stress-free life now, and my only regret is, how I wish I could have found and hired her sooner.

Excellent attention to detail that's what you'll get if you let them manage your properties.

It's as if this man never stops working... It did not matter what day or time it was, where he was,…read morewhat he was doing, or what we were asking from him. Chris Strange was constantly available. This truly is his passion--it shows through his work ethic, his command of the real estate market, and his relentless desire to meet the needs of his clients. We initially got set up with Chris from Realtor.com when we wanted to see a house in Pleasant Hill. We told him we were just looking to see where the market was at and were not committed on buying anything until the following year. Still, he followed up with us after that showing, and we are so glad we kept in touch! Chris helped us through the process of our first purchased home. From helping negotiate the purchase price, to convincing the sellers to give us THOUSANDS of dollars in credit for repairs that needed to be done, to setting up all the necessary inspections, to making the financing process as smooth as can be (there were TONS of hiccups and delays with the loan that he guided us through), Chris did everything in his power to make our lives easier. This real estate market is all about the relationships, and we are so happy to have Chris on our team. Please consider using him in all your future real estate transactions!

Professional and Reliable Property Management I have been…read moreworking with The Cal Agents since 2025 to manage my house rental in the Bay Area, and it has been a consistently positive experience. Key Highlights: 1. Exceptional Team: I've had the pleasure of working with Wilsen, Ahyeza, Chris, Patricia, Jana, Fiona, Nikki, and Ramiro. They are professional, attentive, and easy to collaborate with. 2. Problem Solvers: One of their greatest strengths is that they never shy away from a hard problem. Whether it's a maintenance issue or a tenant concern, they tackle it head-on with a level of responsiveness that is hard to find. 3. Trusted Partnership: When you are looking for a partner to manage an investment property, creating an empathetic and caring relationship with the tenants is the most important factor. They have proven themselves to be reliable stewards of my property. Pro-Tip for Owners: Because they manage a diverse portfolio of both condos and houses, I found that providing clear context on my specific expectations for house-level marketing and maintenance from the start created a great feedback loop. Their receptiveness to this high level of communication is exactly why our partnership works so well; it ensures everyone is aligned from day one. Overall: If you need a team that is responsive and capable of handling the complexities of the Bay Area rental market, I highly recommend The Cal Agents.

After managing our own rental property for years, we made the decision to hire Paul to manage our…read moretownhome 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.

My husband and I have been working with Paul since June 2025 and Paul literally saved us from the…read moremost 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.

She is knowledgeable about the local market, warm-natured in her approach, and committed to representing her clients' best interests. Denisen provided thoughtful guidance on pricing strategy, and she handled final negotiations confidently once the property had an offer. She was transparent throughout the process and helped us think through decisions in a clear way, which we really appreciated. There were moments when faster response times and more proactive follow-ups would have been helpful in our situation. I also will suggest she develop a broader set of house-prep resources to make the readiness phase of the sale easier for sellers like us. That said, Denisen ultimately delivered a successful offer within just 4 days of listing and remained steady and supportive throughout.
