    Uptown

    My partner had to decide to rent or sell his house. We met with Nick from Ukiyo twice and we were…read moreso impressed with his knowledge, direct approach and patience. We were looking forward to having them manage our rental and felt very confident with the selection based on the support and communication provided. We have had to put renting on hold but Ukiyo will be our first call if we decide to move ahead.

    We saw a property on the Ukiyo website, and they quickly accommodated a tour. My partner toured the…read moreunit and loved it, so we applied. Saj was in touch with us frequently through the application process, but once our applications were submitted, communication was less consistent. That said, we found out the next day that we were approved! At least, we thought we were. Nobody at Ukiyo had confirmed whether we have pets (we do, and didn't want to double-list them with multiple adults applying), so they had to recalculate the deposit and needed us to provide vaccination records. Once we did so, we paid the deposit and went to bed, feeling like the next day we would pick up keys to our next home. Instead, we found out that the property owner doesn't allow pets, and that our entire application process was wasted. Not only are we not moving into what we thought would be our home for the next decade, but also we're having to find another option and wasted a week of time and energy. I can't claim I understand property management. That said, either the owner provided incorrect information to Ukiyo (in which case Ukiyo needs to do a better job screening owners since they "don't work with just anyone" according to their site) or Ukiyo didn't ensure that they had the correct information in their listing. Whichever is the case, the entire process has left us with a terrible impression of Ukiyo's business. It's already exhausting enough to navigate bay area housing without this kind of mess.

    Professional and Reliable Property Management I have been…read moreworking with The Cal Agents since 2025 to manage my house rental in the Bay Area, and it has been a consistently positive experience. Key Highlights: 1. Exceptional Team: I've had the pleasure of working with Wilsen, Ahyeza, Chris, Patricia, Jana, Fiona, Nikki, and Ramiro. They are professional, attentive, and easy to collaborate with. 2. Problem Solvers: One of their greatest strengths is that they never shy away from a hard problem. Whether it's a maintenance issue or a tenant concern, they tackle it head-on with a level of responsiveness that is hard to find. 3. Trusted Partnership: When you are looking for a partner to manage an investment property, creating an empathetic and caring relationship with the tenants is the most important factor. They have proven themselves to be reliable stewards of my property. Pro-Tip for Owners: Because they manage a diverse portfolio of both condos and houses, I found that providing clear context on my specific expectations for house-level marketing and maintenance from the start created a great feedback loop. Their receptiveness to this high level of communication is exactly why our partnership works so well; it ensures everyone is aligned from day one. Overall: If you need a team that is responsive and capable of handling the complexities of the Bay Area rental market, I highly recommend The Cal Agents.

    So I am in the process of finding an agent or company to rent out a family home. I put the need out…read moreon Yelp and received several responses. I spoke to one agent, then made an appointment to have calls with others. The Cal Agents called me, and in less than a minute I realized it was someone from a Philippine call center. What a slap in the face. Outsourcing is a hot button issue, and I will NEVER share personal information with someone overseas, but also: WHY? Are they too busy for a two minute call to make that connection? Introduce themselves? Answer relevant questions? And perhaps MOST CLOYING: is this the same company that employs those same call centers to make masked cold calls asking to buy our property? HARD PASS.

    Finishing up my 2 year lease with NBP! Experience was so much better than my previous place…read more Employees (shoutout to Ethan!) are super quick with responses. They were able to work with us to give a slight discount when covid first started. Maintenance requests are handled through a resident portal and they usually have someone come in to fix it within 2 days. Regularly see people come clean common walkways. Management is also good about notifying residents about construction or cleaning. Definitely agree with the pros and cons of a lot of the other reviewers! We fortunately had no issues with noise during my 2 years here.

    During a move-out at one of the north Berkeley properties there was confusion about furniture…read moredisposal rules at this property. We were under the impression that dismantled furniture could be placed in the designated disposal area, but management later cited CCTV footage and sent a community-wide email regarding the issue. It was more like a threat to take away the whole deposit that was paid. While residents should absolutely follow disposal policies, the property could do a better job clearly communicating what is and isn't allowed during move-outs to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary issues when families help tenants move out. I'd recommend future residents get written confirmation from this management before disposing of any large items. Have the rules clearly printed out and pasted properly not just for residents but also for outsiders.

Allowed strangers into my unit without notice i.e. for a cleaning service I opted out of, they never even told me what date it would be happening. No notice that people would be using power tools for maintenance while I was working from home. They even insisted I leave by noon on my last day even though I was paid through the month. The owner Sam Sorokin called his employees "stupid people" ("What are we going to do with these stupid people" he said to me personally). At one point I had a plumbing emergency on a Friday heading into a holiday weekend and the after hours emergency line was shut off. I had to turn off all water and figure out how to fix it myself. They fought against reimbursing me for a $60 part for weeks -- I wasn't even trying to charge labor for work I ended up doing myself. Just a house call from a plumber would have cost them more than that! When I left they communicated specific times that they would be showing my unit, but their people never showed up. At one point they asked me how showings were going, I was like hey, I was out of town, you never asked me to, and I have no idea why *you* didn't show it.
