      My husband and I have been living in an apartment complex for the last 6 months and have experienced several property managers take over, but it wasn't until Cal-Prop took over where we felt that anything was getting done. We finally got our parking spots repainted, have an on-site facilities manager and our tickets are addressed right away! We are so happy to have them now and feel more comfortable in where we are living now. Alexis Vega has also been an exceptional property manager and answers right away and gets back to us in a timely manner. She has been very helpful!

      Loving our new house, rented through Cal-Prop. We put together a list of little maintenance issues (jammed window, sticky door, etc), and they sent Tyler right out to fix them within days. Tyler their handyman was fast, professional, and open to discussion. So far has been a very positive experience with Cal-Prop and their support team.

      I have lived in a house managed by Cal-Prop for nearly 8 years, and my experience has been outstanding. Throughout this time, I've had the pleasure of working with Hobie Manley, who has been nothing short of exceptional. Hobie is always professional, prompt, and seemingly available whenever needed. My initial skepticism about renting a home overseen by a property management company quickly disappeared thanks to his dedication and reliability. I couldnโ€™t recommend him more highly and am genuinely grateful for the excellent service and support he has provided over the past 8 years.

      Just this past week I was Approved for my new home with the help of Kari and Matthew at Cal-prop. They have both been more than helpful and attentive to everything that I needed the answered questions and I'm sure it was not easy dealing with me since I am not tec savvy receiving documents and so forth was not where I shine, but they both were very patient and helpful. They stayed on top of it and made sure that I was able to get my keys right away. They were both so friendly and kind and I really enjoy both of them thank you guys for everything you did

      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. Heโ€™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.

As I prepare to move out of one of their properties to my own place, I must commend Kate for her exceptional professionalism and assistance throughout the process. I would highly recommend Cal Prop management.

      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.
