Since 1987, Cal-Prop has set the standard for excellence in San Diego property management. With deep expertise and a personalized approach, we help tenants find the perfect rental that fits their needs, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience in one of California’s most competitive markets.

For Property Owners

Whether you own one unit or dozens, Cal-Prop’s time-tested tools and professional management enable you to operate your property like a real estate expert. Our goal is to ensure your property runs efficiently, allowing you the peace of mind and time to enjoy life.

Quick Turns with High Quality Tenants

Our proprietary tenant screening process, quick turn practices, and an all hands-on deck approach gives us an advantage to find, qualify, and close the best tenants at the highest rents the market will allow.

First-rate Customer Service

With a dedicated Vice President overseeing your property, you’ll have a single point of contact coordinating your entire team ensuring smooth operations, from leasing to repairs. While everything is online, we answer calls faster and more efficiently than any competitor.

Fast and Affordable Property Maintenance

We are pros at tackling routine and major issues with fast, cost effective results. For example, any mainline replacement is 75-80% of the cost of a typical plumbing contractor. Our in-house team aims to give you better pricing and faster service to minimize vacancy and turnover time while ensuring 100% resident satisfaction.

San Diego Rental Market

San Diego, the second-largest city in California and eighth in the U.S., is not only a prime destination for tourists but also a highly desirable place to live. With a population of nearly 1.3 million residents in the city and over 3 million in the county, the rental market here is diverse, competitive, and constantly evolving. Whether you’re drawn to the historic Gaslamp Quarter or Little Italy’s urban charm, the stunning coastal communities of La Jolla and Coronado, or the family-friendly neighborhoods of Carlsbad, Escondido, and Chula Vista, San Diego has housing options for every lifestyle.
San Diego’s rental market benefits from the city’s renowned weather—mild and sunny year-round—as well as its 70 miles of breathtaking beaches, making it a magnet for both long-term residents and seasonal renters. Additionally, San Diego’s world-class attractions, such as the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and LEGOLAND, along with its thriving job market in technology, military, and education, continue to attract a wide range of renters. Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or a family looking for a new place to call home, San Diego offers a rich variety of rental options to suit your needs.

How can you maximize your investment?

We know that your plans and goals are different from any other investors. San Diego is one of the nation’s top markets, with a strong tenant population and potential for excellent returns. At Cal-Prop, we ensure your rental investment thrives by offering tailored property management solutions that meet your unique needs while navigating the local legal and business landscape.

San Diego County has the highest percentage of non-owner occupied single-family homes and condominiums in the entire country. Owners of a residence often choose to retain their home and become landlords. Whether you’re a seasoned investor, a new landlord navigating the transition, or facing challenges with your current property manager, we’re here to offer a professional, reliable, and comprehensive solution you can trust. Let us handle the hard work so you can enjoy peace of mind and reclaim your time.

This review is specifically for my current property manager Hobie Manley. Hobie has been the most helpful with recent repairs that my unit has needed. Some of them were very urgent plumbing issues and Hobie was very responsive and quick to get the job done. He’s easy to communicate with and great at his job. Thank you again for all the hard work you do!

Catherine Macbuilt from Cal- Prop Management is the reason why I was able to find and move into an apartment within a month. I was searching by myself for months and struggling to find what I needed, but after submitting all of my information, Catherine was able to apply to multiple apartments for me for the price of one application. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to move immediately and looking for a speedy process.

Melissa Young is my Cal prop manager. She is the most responsible, supportive, and capable teammate I could ever hope for. She handled my home, At 39 4 East Moss St. in Chula Vista, had it upgraded, updated in a very quick Turnover. She has become a supportive friend who always keeps me updated as needed. She is such an asset to your company. I appreciate her more than I can tell you.

We could not say enough about Tyler’s professional and meticulous workmanship. We had issues with a couple of faucets. He was very courteous and explained the plumbing issues and fixed everything beautifully all in one visit. If we could give him 10 stars we would. Thanks Tyler!

I have been using Cal-Prop Since 1990. They have always been responsive and addressed any questions I had. When work is needed on my buildings, they attend to it quickly. In addition, they follow-up with making sure the work is done correctly. Many times, they have gone above and beyond the scope of our contract. They have integrity. I would recommend them to anyone.

Updating my review because Cal Prop Maintenance are awesome! We've had Chris and Eric in the apartment and they're always quick, efficient, professional and timely. Also appreciate our Property Manager's Jaime's quick responses and updates, etc. We used to get them after the person was already at our door, so it's been refreshing with our new PM.
