It cost just thousands in inspections and lost time. We were mislead continuously. Hazel was sellers agent at one home, lied (oops) about home condition. I had to look up permits to find out and was warned by the Inspector that she has a reputation for this? We backed out after bad news after bad news. The other house was brokered by John Sloss , located in a fire zone only found out after we made offer. Told them to get insurance it had to have updated wiring and plumbing, assured it was. After thousands in inspection, lies . All out dated and unable to insure. Then it appraised 40k less than asking. 3 days before close , our agent Tyler Potter (who was on vacation along with selling agent John, told us it needed a mold inspection which after 20 years in buisness next to the bay, he had never heard of and the deal was dead. Truth, he told me prior that if its didn't appraise , the price would be lowered and that the reapirs I mentioned were not an issue. All 3 agents work for Coldwell banker.... Just like the prior reviews noted. Its a culture at this broker beware. I fired them , found a new broker and a new house with in 2 days at a fair price. with a broker on my side. Buyer beware with these guys...

I can't overstate how important Linda Blanchard was to me during the years she managed - and…read moreultimately sold - my home in Vallejo. I most certainly could not have done it without her. After my place was vacated in 2011, Linda immediately found a long-term tenants and developed a strong business relationship with them, along with the HOA and the management company. Each month, she made sure the rent was collected and rapidly deposited into my checking account. I received regular monthly statements, including tax information, and was kept informed of any and all situations. She was always pleasant and generous with her time (and patience) during each of the scores of phone calls between us. Throughout it all, she demonstrated a healthy, well-appreciated sense of humor. When I was ready to sell last April, Linda managed the whole deal, from A to Z. And then some. She took it upon herself to do EVERYTHING to make sure I was happy. She gave the tenant polite notice and had the place cleaned, painted and updated. We exchanged paperwork and signatures almost entirely via email. Less than three months later, in June 2018, it sold for over the asking price. I never had to travel all-the-way to Vallejo, from Louisville. It couldn't have been easier, for me. Throughout the entire process (over 7 years), Linda was available every day, including nights and weekends. I had her mobile number, she had mine. If she ever had to leave work for any reason, she left me in friendly, capable hands with her co-workers (Thanks Mike). Linda Blanchard will stay on my Top 10 list forever, and I don't say that just because she's a proud Sagittarian who shares my November 30 birthday. I say it because she's a great human being. I expect we'll be in touch for a long time to come.

It was exactly what I wanted and I was able to offer a bid within hours of the property going on the market. I'm so happy to say that I am now living in a condo by the marina and enjoying the view of the boats while sitting at my breakfast table each morning. Thank you, Teresa!

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.

4.5 stars rounded to 5…read more 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.

Rachel Birnbaum was the Owner/Broker. She had a number of very good reviews so we called her and spoke for quite a while about what we were looking for and our budget. From the first call, she started working to find us just the right house. Quickly, she came up with a number of options. She actually videotaped homes she previewed which made things easier for us to choose which ones we wanted to visit and further evaluate. In all of our dealings with Rachel, she was always on top of things, keeping in touch on a regular basis and updating any new listings. We eventually expanded our search to include other cities in the East Bay Area. Prior to making our first trip up North, she would give us the pros and cons of each house, and the back story of the cities. She is both an excellent Real Estate Professional, and easy person to work with. We found a house in Brentwood, CA, made an offer which was accepted after some back/forth negotiation. She handled the escrow process flawlessly and the sale went through without a hitch. Rachel gets an A+ from us for the help she provided, including her knowledge of real estate and her mild easy manner. A win-win transaction, so happy we had Rachel on our side. Another quick addition, Rachel is married to a General Contractor, Ron Bruno. Ron actually did the renovation work that was necessary with the Brentwood house. His work and the subs he hired were also excellent. The work was completed on time and within budget. They are truly a great pair to work with from start to finish.

Walls extremely thin, the dog crap, roaches or nasty bugs that come out from the grounds next parking area in summer, not sure if these are termites. Management here at Waterstone Terrace behaved horribly towards me,, refused to credit rent for noise, drug issues they acknowledged in writing through emails after I had to follow up with Annabelle various times. Her supervisor Alicia tried to override the constitution amendment of "Freedom of Religion," when I was there. Alicia believes and acts as a God Herself exalting herself & Annabelle's bad behavior. They never hold themselves accountable & they go against their own policies with dog breeds Some of the residents don't keep their wild, untamed Rottweilers or pitbulls on leashes. The apartment way overpriced, cramped. U can hear the woman downstairs having loud intercourse with her boyfriend all the time late at night. Easily hear neighbors next door with TV, etc. no privacy really but paying heavy rent. There are better apartments in benicia, way better, I would absolutely not recommend here. This area of where this apartment is located gets very windy moreso than other parts of the city bc of its proximity to the pier. Smell of stinky weed was a constant issue here too. It seems like their might be possible overall bigger drug problem. The management doesn't care, them getting money out of u as a tenant is all they cared about. They hate when u complain about factual issues. They don't take accountability & stole from me by refusing to pay me credit for founded concerns/complaints I had in my stay here. Annabelle lied, concealed in malice in her rotted dog-like behavior about lease take over. waterstone owes me nearly $10K, that's how they make money by manipulating, concealing info like they did with my lease-break issue, management here are no better than thieves & robbers.
