A Landlord’s Nightmare

I was searching Netflix for an old film.  I wasn’t sure if I remembered how it ended or not when I came across a movie I had not thought about in a while from 1990:  Pacific Heights. In 1990, I had been in the business of property management in California for three...

Cal-Prop manages rental properties that I co-own. Melissa does a great job managing the operations. Eric does a great job managing tenant matters. Cal-Prop Maintenance addresses repairs and upkeep for the properties. Thank you Cal-Prop Team, we could not do it without your continued support and assistance.

I would like to extend a special thank you to Melissa and Eric for their management of our rental properties. They handle every aspect of our operations, and we truly could not succeed without them. I also want to thank CP Maintenance. It is reassuring to know they are available to assist us with maintenance and repairs whenever needed. The entire Cal-Prop team is essential to our operations and success!

Shot out to Kurt! I am a former tenant and requested a managing agent referral letter. He turned it around very quickly! Super helpful.

Special shoutout to Tyler from the maintenance team! From fixing the screen door to repairing a leaky pipe, he has always been someone we can rely on. He’s helped fix numerous things in our apartment and has the best attitude!

I could never recommend Cal-Prop. We signed a commercial lease in July of 2023 in La Mesa. We're on our 3rd property manager. There have been so many clerical errors, forgotten charges added to our bill because of their poorly managed accounting, terrible upkeep of the property, and they are slow to react to maintenance requests. 1st manager - Louis. 2nd manager - Melissa. 3rd manager - Kurt. Do they care I'm picking up trash, liquor bottles, & human feces most days? Seems not. Do they care that the property is eroding and looks derelict most days? Seems not. I wanted to be a long term tenant but it's not worth the inconsistencies from the management team.

For the most part, my experience with this property management team has been positive. Whenever I’ve had an issue, they’ve been responsive and it ultimately gets resolved. I appreciate that they do follow through. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that a few times I’ve had to wait longer than expected for a response or resolution. Overall, though, they’ve been reliable, friendly and helpful.

Pretty bad service overall. Answering emails and phone calls felt like an optional task from all our property managers (we had 4 over 8 years) and all of them lacked organizational skills as well.

I had to be out of my apartment on very short notice and needed a new place immediately. I called Cal-Prop and talked with Kurt, who was so friendly and helpful in walking me through the available properties that fit my budget. He answered all my leasing and application questions and then worked to schedule a couple tours for me. The next day, I toured a couple apartments in City Heights area that Jaime was the manager for. There was never any high-pressure tactics and I really felt that the people I talked with just wanted me to find a good place to live. They told me what to look out for in apartments and common scams that are on Craigslist. I wound up renting somewhere else, but Cal-Prop really helped me out and they will definitely be my first call if I have to move in San Diego again.

Kari is always such a great help. I had lost my key once I had gotten back into town from a two week trip in Europe. Even with the time change she was able to get back to me instantly and get me a new key within first hour that I got back in San Diego. Thank you again Kari!

Albert and Ashley were a pleasure to work with! They communicated clearly, were helpful and made the entire application process smooth and stress free. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m really enjoying my new apartment and appreciate their excellent service! Highly recommend
