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.

My partner had to decide to rent or sell his house. We met with Nick from Ukiyo twice and we were…read moreso impressed with his knowledge, direct approach and patience. We were looking forward to having them manage our rental and felt very confident with the selection based on the support and communication provided. We have had to put renting on hold but Ukiyo will be our first call if we decide to move ahead.

We saw a property on the Ukiyo website, and they quickly accommodated a tour. My partner toured the…read moreunit and loved it, so we applied. Saj was in touch with us frequently through the application process, but once our applications were submitted, communication was less consistent. That said, we found out the next day that we were approved! At least, we thought we were. Nobody at Ukiyo had confirmed whether we have pets (we do, and didn't want to double-list them with multiple adults applying), so they had to recalculate the deposit and needed us to provide vaccination records. Once we did so, we paid the deposit and went to bed, feeling like the next day we would pick up keys to our next home. Instead, we found out that the property owner doesn't allow pets, and that our entire application process was wasted. Not only are we not moving into what we thought would be our home for the next decade, but also we're having to find another option and wasted a week of time and energy. I can't claim I understand property management. That said, either the owner provided incorrect information to Ukiyo (in which case Ukiyo needs to do a better job screening owners since they "don't work with just anyone" according to their site) or Ukiyo didn't ensure that they had the correct information in their listing. Whichever is the case, the entire process has left us with a terrible impression of Ukiyo's business. It's already exhausting enough to navigate bay area housing without this kind of mess.

Rent was very reasonable for a beautiful high-ceilinged 1-bed, 1-bath full of natural sunlight in the middle of uptown Oakland. We had a full-sized washer and dryer in unit, a gated parking spot, and even a small front yard with a loquat tree. Laura, Nick, Chandra and team were always friendly, supportive beyond our tenant-landlord relationship, and quick to respond to maintenance requests, which were easy to place using the online portal provided.

I 100% respect a person's family time but either fix the listed hours on review sites or send me to voicemail or lastly teach politeness to your employees, otherwise it leaves a sour taste in your mouth, doesn't it?

After move-in, we were a big stuck on what to do and how to get our home rented out. We connected with RentWise and they put us at ease. Everything moved so fast, from the moment we got off the call, things just started happened, photographers showed up and took professional pictures (after we had the place cleaned) and made a map layout of the property (got the files the that same evening). By the next morning, our home was already listed and advertised (i think it was 22 outlets that RentWise marketed the home to). Within 48 hours we had ~30 contacts. RentWise showed the home to 5 lovely couples/families that weekend and 3 qualified applicants for us to chose from a couple days after. All-in all, the process took a little over a week. I cannot believe how fast we got qualified applicants and a lease executed. They are worth every penny (it probably would've taken me a month) not to mention they got us 10% more than the top end of my expectation. My first experience with RentWise, will update the review if anything changes during the length of the relationship. Thank you again RentWise!

Alexandra Moari is exceptional.

Even though I called at a terribly early hour by mistake, she answered with professionalism, energy, honesty, and total clarity. She handled everything with remarkable care and efficiency: preparing the property, coordinating details, marketing the home, communicating with prospective tenants, and carefully vetting applicants until she found the perfect tenant for me. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly organized. Every question I had was answered quickly and intelligently, and every step was handled with real attention and care. What also impressed me was that Alexandra does not work alone. She has built a strong team around her, and that makes a real difference. Joseph and Mariana were part of that larger sense of professionalism and support, and it was clear to me that Alexandra has surrounded herself with capable people who help things run smoothly. She also has reliable handymen and other professionals at the ready, people who can step in quickly, fix problems, prepare the home, and make things happen without delay. That kind of network is invaluable, especially when you are managing a property from across the country. What truly sets Alexandra apart is her integrity. She is honest, hardworking, deeply committed, and truly represents her clients well. As an out-of-state owner, that gave me enormous peace of mind. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. She is now my property manager, and I would not trust my home to anyone else. Highly, highly recommended.

They also charge the owners if a tenant no shows their repair call. Like most recent homeowner reviews, I dealt with the same issues. The final straw was when they quoted me $7k for a repair that was only 3k as I was familiar with the work/industry. Huge up charge and fake billing items. After giving them their 60 days termination notice, they snuck their repair crew in to do "sewer cleaning." In 2024, the property collected 24k in rent but had 4.3k in fees and charges.

Alice isn't the type of agent who tells you what needs to happen and then says, "call me when you get it done." Alice will actually manage the fix-up process for you, which enables you to get your home on the market in a very timely fashion. If you think about it, that makes good business sense for her, too. My family home, as you can imagine, had a lot of emotional meaning for me and let me just say that there was also some family drama. Through it all, Alice showed what a determined AND compassionate person she is. Her team members are also on the ball, and I felt their support the whole way through this first-time selling experience. I'm glad I chose to work with Alice and her team at New Horizon Real Estate and highly recommend them.
