I have bought and sold homes for over 40 years across California and Maryland, and Alice Chang is,…read morewithout question, the most prepared and focused agent I have ever worked with. When I decided to sell my home in Sonoma, Alice came to our first meeting with exhaustive research and a clear, actionable plan to get the best price. Even though she was working outside her home county, her preparation was flawless. The results speak for themselves: my home sold within one week. Alice is now helping me find my next home, and she is just as impressive on the buying side--quick with disclosures and comparatives, and always providing sound, honest advice.

Alice helped me sell the home that I grew up in. Alice is experienced and knowledgeable, and she…read moreworks really, really hard. 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.

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 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.

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.

SLUMLORD. Would give zero stars if possible…read more From the moment I moved into that apartment I realized I was in a slumlord situation. When I arrived on January 19th there was no working heat and it was in the 40s at night. I was provided with a very small space heater by the "property manager" (that term feels like a big stretch) and I was absolutely freezing all night. The only reason I didn't go to a hotel was because I had just driven for 5 days straight and was literally too exhausted. Additionally, the apartment was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY (I have photos to back this up). The apartment was vacant for months so it is unclear how they did not have time to check the heat or do a basic cleaning. When I complained, Pedram gave me a credit of like $70 for both those issues which is wild as a cleaning service and a hotel stay would easily total $500. Pathetic. I knew I was in for some bullsh*t based on this. From this point on, every time something broke or needed to be fixed, and there were a lot of things that were broken UPON MOVE IN (again, this place was empty and could have been repaired beforehand), Pedram ignored my service requests in the app and my emails. I fixed things with my own time and energy and had to hound him to be reimbursed for the supplies. The whole point of renting is so that I don't have to fix things. I literally had to have a friend fix my leaking kitchen sink because the person who "fixed" it initially didn't actually fix it and Pedram would not respond to my emails at all. I begged him for help. In addition to my actual unit being terrible, the general condition of the property was abhorrent. Overgrown weeds and bushes, filthy walkways that haven't been power washed in years, garbage all over the alley where the bins are, etc. It looked totally ghetto and therefore, people treated it as such. Also, we were told with literally ZERO advanced warning that we would lose access to the washer/dryer for at least a month due to the construction project taking place in the back parking lot (earthquake retrofitting). So then I had to start taking my clothes to a laundromat which is hard to do as a professional working 50+ hr weeks. Additionally, Pedram told us we had to park our cars on the street for this project despite the workers only being there during business hours. There was no reason we had to park on the street at night, other than his negligence with regard to understanding the actual scope of the construction project. My car and several others suffered vandalism/damage due to being on the street. It was completely unnecessary, but he would have known that if he ever stepped foot onto that property or put even the smallest amount of effort into managing it. I finally had to threaten him with legal action to be allowed to break the lease, as I could not continue living in that hell hole. He will not return my security deposit and states he kept it as the lease break fee, which is of course illegal under California state law. So not only did I lose my 2k deposit, I have to pay 1k to fix my car and I paid another 1k for moving expenses. Still very seriously considering taking him to small claims court. I had a completely horrific experience at this place and I have no idea who would write a positive review. I spoke to numerous other residents who all had similar experiences and were completely frustrated and fed up. Pedram, you take advantage of people and you know it. Absolutely disgusting behavior. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You can say I'm disgruntled about the deposit or whatever you need to, to make yourself feel better, but we both know the truth.

A company that thrives on preying on and defrauding vulnerable students, especially international…read morestudents. They are negligent and incompetent. They will illegally keep your security deposit to pay for things that are in no way your fault or responsibility, and threaten legal action if you contest any of their actions. As a scare tactic if you're an international student, they will threaten reporting you to Department of Homeland Security if you don't comply with their demands. They will threaten to sue you for fraud. If you leave a bad review, they will threaten to sue you for slander. They will threaten to file a formal complaint about you with the University of California. Many students, fearful of their threats and/or not wanting to jump through the burdensome hurdles and obstacles JD Management Group places on its tenants in order to get the full security deposit back or get things fixed, just let it go. And this has become JD Management Group's business model. Do not let up. Do not roll over. Have you been defrauded? Have you been threatened? Take them to small claims court. Work through the University (they have staff to help with this!). Leave negative reviews. Pursue legal action. THEIR BUSINESS MODEL IS TO DEFRAUD STUDENTS through shady and deceptive practices. Don't let it continue. Stand up for yourself. Use the resources available to hold them. They will stoop as low as possible to defraud you out of your money. The best advice I can give is to avoid doing ANY business with them. Don't let them management your properties and do NOT rent any of their properties. And if you do have the misfortune of doing either, hold them accountable through legal action, administrative action, and online reviews.
