San Diego Property Management

San Diego Rental Market

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.

I’d like to give a shoutout to Eric Paulin for being an exceptional property manager. As both a tenant and a professional in property management, I have a deep appreciation for what great service looks like—and Eric consistently delivers. When I first moved in, he was managing the property before transitioning to another portfolio, and I’m genuinely glad to see him back. He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and a true problem solver who cares about both the asset and the tenants. His win-win approach is rare in this industry, and many could benefit from his example. Thank you, Eric!

I can’t say enough good things about Alex from Cal Prop Management. I was completely locked out of my home after accidentally leaving my keys on an airplane. I came back exhausted, with four checked bags, overwhelmed, and honestly in tearsit was my birthday and I felt stranded. I called Alex, and she was already on her way to make a key and come help me. She showed up with a smile, helped me bring all my luggage inside, and completely turned my day around. Alex is kind, proactive, and truly cares. From the moment I first signed my lease, she’s always been clear, responsive, and incredibly organized. This experience just confirmed how amazing she is. I’m so grateful—she made a stressful situation feel easy and even made my birthday special again. Also Happy Birthday to you to Alex !

I’ve had a real good experience finding an apartment with Cal Prop. Garrison has been extremely helpful sending me properties as they become available as well as showing me properties all around North Park. Garrison would always answer the phone no matter what time it was, as well as be there for me when needing any questions answered. I would definitely recommend using this company for finding the next place to call home.

If you are trying to rent at one of this companies available units and no one is responding to you it is because the unit is already rented. My wife and I have reached out to Kurt and Tamara and been completely ignored. I had to physically go to the office to find out the unit I was interested in had already been rented. These supposed professionals can't even respond to messages. Better off renting with a company that shows people common courtesy and respect.
