I'm so disturbed by the fact that this house is completely infested with mice. While moving my in…read morelaw out there were mice everywhere. One week later and the house is listed for sale!!! If anyone is looking to purchase 400 Sonoma Ave. in seaside please be aware that this company did not even bother to get rid of the mice! This company disgusts me. Not once did I ever receive a call back or any communication from them in any way. They have zero cares for people. Also, the gas line in the kitchen and fan for the oven I believe are illegal and not up to code however they had zero problems renting it to the elderly. In response to the owners reply. The rent was $500 when you guys "took over the portfolio". You guys jacked the price up so high in such a short amount of time that it is absolutely in no way a reasonable price. If you deem it unrentable then no one should be paying $1,950 for it. That's absurd. I called a total of 5 times in the span of a month and left a voicemail every single time. I was never even once able to reach a live person. So check your messages and you will have all the record you need. You guys were 100% aware of the condition of the home. Not only did you demand tons of photos of the inside and outside of the home every 6ish Months but you also did several walk throughs inside and outside. Each time you guys deemed it rentable. That is not looking out for senior citizens that is abusing their inability to fend for themselves. Your company should be ashamed of themselves as well as the owner of this property.

During a challenging period with our previous management company, the Board of Directors decided it…read morewas time to seek new representation for our HOA. Our community is located in a highly desirable area in Northern Salinas, and it became clear that the vision of our previous management no longer aligned with that of the Board. We reached out to Daniel and William at Sterling Property Management and invited them to visit our property. They took the time to understand the scope of the projects our Board wanted to address, focusing on both structural and cosmetic improvements. From the start, both William and Daniel shared our vision for enhancing our aging community's infrastructure and increasing property values. Their understanding and commitment to our goals were evident. After carefully reviewing the contract specifics, the Board unanimously decided to move forward with Sterling Property Management. It has proven to be one of the best decisions we've made as a Board. In the six months that Sterling Property Management has represented our HOA, we've seen an 18% reduction in costs, and our property values have increased, thanks to the expert guidance of our Property Manager, Sam Navarro, who was handpicked by William and Daniel to meet our community's needs. Our experience with Sterling Property Management has been nothing short of amazing. We look forward to many more years of transparent and collaborative partnership with their team.

They don't respect your time…read more They scheduled a 4:30 showing for a unit and there were a few of us waiting to see it. Waited 15 mins, no one's there yet. Called the office number and told them about the situation and she said the person on the way is caught in traffic. Another 15 mins passed, still no one. It may seem like a minor problem but it just feels disrespectful. 30-45 mins of your time just wasted. These are the type of people you would be dealing with, if you choose to work with them. If it was the other way around, e.g. you're late on rent, I'm sure that they would quickly give you a fine.

I would not recommend renting from this company under any circumstance. If you already have, make…read moresure that you document everything related to your move out- they lied about damages (but I had taken photos and a video) and claimed that I turned in my key almost a week late (I dropped it off and handed it to them, so certified mail is probably the best option). I had to send weekly emails for two months before I got my deposit back. They did not perform any repairs while I was renting a very expensive unit, and would get annoyed if I tried to ask for any type of repair and would tell me how busy they were. There were lights out in the hallways, no lights on the stairs , ceiling leaks, and issues with appliances. I know we don't have a lot of options on the peninsula, but you will be better off with any other company.

From start to finish, a long road, Craig and his team have been an incredible gift to us. We are…read morefederal workers overseas and the decision to purchase, leading up to retirement, was daunting. Aside from the obvious challenges of buying from overseas, the aftermath was complicated, to say the least. When we first engaged Craig and his team at Mangold, we believed that very minor repairs/renovations would be required before getting renters in. As these repairs progressed, it became clear that the work would be much more involved. While we weren't even technically clients, since it wasn't possible to have renters in the house, Craig made numerous trips to our property to check on the status of the work. When the months kept dragging, Craig personally intervened with our contractor and kept things on track. Again, this was all without earning a penny from our property and went on for several months. The repairs that Mangold assumed were completed quickly and efficiently and renters were in literally within days of completion of the project. It was the best news we'd had about our house in 10 months. We could not be more grateful to Craig and his team. Aside from the technical work, Craig recognized how disconnected we felt from everything and maintained constant contact with us. Every time we had a questions or possibly just needed to vent about the financial and emotional strain of the situation, he was there to reassure us and offer sound advice. He's a true expert in real estate, contractor work, and customer service. Without him, the house would probably still be covered in scaffolding. Thank you Craig and Mangold Property Management!

Clay lied to the landlord about me then emailed me an apology when the landlord told me what he had said including the lies that we were dragging our feet to get a contract in. In 1 year he never sent the contract I asked for time and again. They used this tactic so they could charge us 5% increases per year instead of what they charge everyone else in the building ie 3%. We had less than 30 days to move out so we had to say 'yes' to it. We caught a handyman spray painting rat urinated & pooped drop ceilings white. He said Jill, the landlord, did not want him to buy new ones & told him to spray paint them white to hide the stains. I told him I would call the health department. A few days later he came back with new ones. That is when they started their discrimination toward us. A senior lady downstairs had to buy a rat zapper as rats are nesting in the drop ceilings, dropping rat pop in their office and the landlords do nothing. Anytime you want something fixed, forget it Jill's mantra 'it costs to much money'. Yet she lives in luxury with a winery. We waited over a year to get a warped door that was leaking water and dirt into our office replaced. 2 months ago, a girl who 'works' for a tenant downstairs told me that my lease would not be renewed for another year. This is someone who has nothing to do with my company, my contract and is the person who plugged up a toilet costing 365.00 in plumbing for the building. I had to call the police bc she was sleeping like a street person downstairs for weeks making lots of noise while we are on conference calls with clients. Bc of this person we were billed a portion of that plumbing bill even when our contract firmly states we have no obligation to do so. I have asked repeatedly for them to remove it; nothing. Last week I emailed Clay about our lease low and behold we are not getting renewed or extended. So a cleaner who has nothing to do with my company contract knows what this property management company is planning with my business. They use intimidation, they lie and the landlords are slumlords. STAY AWAY. They should have their license removed.

I would not recommend CPM based on my experience as a property owner. If I could, I would give them…read morezero stars. Throughout my time working with them, I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously and that tenant interests were prioritized over protecting my property. Despite a clear no-pet agreement, a dog was allowed on the property. I was informed that the tenants were advised by CPM to obtain a doctor's note identifying the dog as a "therapy" animal. Meanwhile, neighbors reported ongoing issues, including the dog behaving aggressively and attempting to get through the fence. At one point, I was told after an inspection that no dog was present. Later, when neighbors continued to report the dog being there, the explanation changed. I was told the dog belonged to the tenant's brother. Regardless, the dog remained on the property. The backyard sustained damage, and I was left responsible for repairs without additional pet fees being collected. There were also financial concerns. The rent increase never took place, I had to ask for it to be increased due to all of my expenses for the home going up. Additionally, despite the home being recently remodeled inside and out prior to tenancy, I continued to see charges for what I considered unnecessary repairs. I frequently had billing questions and accounting that didn't add up or make sense. Communication was another major issue. I was initially told by the business owner, Carrie, that neighbors would be provided with contact information in case of issues, but according to my neighbor, that never happened. I ultimately had to provide the neighbor with CPM's contact information myself so they could report the dog concerns directly. Working with the office staff was frustrating. It was often difficult to reach the assigned property management contact Susan Correa, and most of the time she did not have answers to my concerns. Eventually, I began emailing Carrie directly because I was unable to get clear answers. When I informed her that I intended to terminate services, I did not receive a response. Overall, I felt unsupported as a homeowner and dissatisfied with the service and communication. They do not care about your property, you have to advocate on your own! Based on my experience, I would highly suggest you to not pay this company for the WORST service!
