      I have been living at Casa Loma for almost 2 years now, and I have always had the best service from Cal-Prop. They promptly respond to every request and make the arrangements to have the issues fixed in a timely manner. Eric Paulin in Particular has been my assigned property manager, and had to deal with a difficult situation of parking disagreement with a tenant, where he intermediated the situation and proposed a solution in an extremely professional way to resolve the issue. I thank him for the service he provides to my wife and I as tenants and we hope to extend our stay here until we become homeowners. As a tenant, I can`t think of a better location.

      Cal-Prop Property Management manages several rentals, for us, and we are extremely pleased with them. This is a very good and honest company all the way from the owner, Rick Thornton, to the managers, and repair and maintenance employees. Our personal property managers, Hobie Manley, and Vice President Melissa Young are both great. They are both always available to answer our questions and quick to address any concerns. Cal-Prop provides detailed reports on each of our properties and there is never a question as to what’s been done at the site. Additionally, we have experienced little or no loss of revenue during turnover when tenants are coming and going. Thank you for the good job you have been doing for us.

      Eric P, my property manager has been amazing! He is prompt with his response whenever I had a question. Also, he keeps the residents up to date with things we need to know. He even showed me how to figure out where autopay was when it wasn’t intuitive on the mobile webpage.

      I've had Cal-Prop for over a decade now and they are great. The management pretty much runs on autopilot and I rarely need to get involved but sometimes things go sideways for whatever reason and I do. They raise rents, deal with repairs and new tenants when needed. Highly recommended.

      I’ve had a fantastic experience with Kate! She has made my housing experience a very smooth process, and I was able to book a showing right away with her. She is an excellent communicator and has an enthusiastic personality. I am so grateful my roommate and I have been in contact with her, because she helped us secure our new home! I would absolutely recommend Cal Prop management to anyone who is looking for trustworthy service and superior quality. Thank you Kate!

      So thankful for Cal-Prop and their amazing maintenance team! I submitted a service request for a hot water leak yesterday and my property manager, Eric Paulin, called me back the same day to review the issue. He arranged for Eric Bagalini from maintenance to come by today, and I couldn’t have asked for better service! Not only was he professional and extremely knowledgeable (he explained the exact issue and what he needed to do to fix it), he was fast, kept the area clean, and was an absolute joy to work with! Having a property manager with a maintenance team I can trust means so much, and I am so grateful “the Erics” are part of the Cal-Prop team!

      Switching from my old property management company to Cal Prop Management has been the best decision for my company. I’ve been working with Cal Prop Management for 2 years now and they’ve exceeded my expectations beyond what I could’ve imagined. Today I am at peace knowing that my property is well taken care of thanks to Rick , Graham and the rest of their crew. I seriously can’t thank you all enough for keeping my property safe, clean, and operating 24/7 365 days a year!

      I had an excellent experience with Keith! From the first contact, he was incredibly kind and helpful. Keith scheduled a visit to the apartment and made sure I had all the information I needed. During the visit, he was very professional and showed me all the details of the apartment. His customer service was exceptional and made my search for a new home easier and pleasant. I am very happy with Keith's service and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new place to rent with Cal-Prop!
