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

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.

I would highly recommend Cal Prop management.

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.

              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.
