For six years as a renter through BCPM, I have always, always received the utmost customer respect, care, responsiveness and outstanding professionalism from each and every one of them.

I want to thank them all for a wonderful and memorable experience and wish them continued success.

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.

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 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.

When I moved in I received the wrong key, resulting in me having to wait 4 hours to get into my unit. I do appreciate how they have after hours customer service which is how I got in touch with MJ who helped contact a manager to come out and help me. She was very nice and gave me updates when she could. Danae is who came to help even though it was not her building so I really appreciate how she came from her house on a Sunday. She ended up having to call a maintenance man to drill out the door since no one could find the right keys. She was also able to help me put in works orders I needed in the building and was extremely nice. I wasn't able to get the name of the man who drilled my door but he was nice and helpful too. I also had an issue with parking. I was told I could park in a specific spot but was then notified that I couldn't park there because someone had reported me and I had to move or be towed. This was a stressful and confusing situation but Ryan Garcia the customer service rep was able to give me updates and walk me through the situation the best he could. I was eventually able to get the situation resolved with a satisfactory solution. Efrain the maintenance man who came to help with my work orders was super helpful and nice. He went out of his way to give me a better lock on my window and went to the store multiple times for better parts. He was very efficient and respectful of my space. I appreciate that he came out promptly to help fix my issues. Lastly, although my agent Colter was the one who gave me the wrong keys, he was extremely apologetic and otherwise very helpful during my application and move in process so I appreciate him as well. While I had a rocky start to my move-in, I appreciate the help from the team members and I am overall satisfied with my unit.

It's hard to imagine a group with more contempt for tenants and less pride in their work…read more Usually no one picks up the phone when you call - or calls you back. Repairs can take weeks to months and are done as cheaply as possible so they always look shoddy. They don't even replace smoke detectors - they just add new ones so my apartment walls now have three dead ones, one active. Clownish. The property manager typically ignores calls, emails, and texts for literally months, and wouldn't come to the property even when there was a safety emergency. The accounting department is prone to making mistakes, but, like the property managers, ignore emails and calls for weeks so it's hard to resolve things. Notice that most of the few positive reviews (not many of them tbh) mention maintenance people that SG contracts with... Not SG. Don't believe me? They have an F rating from the Better Business Bureau.

SLUMLORD. Would give zero stars if possible…read more From the moment I moved into that apartment I realized I was in a slumlord situation. When I arrived on January 19th there was no working heat and it was in the 40s at night. I was provided with a very small space heater by the "property manager" (that term feels like a big stretch) and I was absolutely freezing all night. The only reason I didn't go to a hotel was because I had just driven for 5 days straight and was literally too exhausted. Additionally, the apartment was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY (I have photos to back this up). The apartment was vacant for months so it is unclear how they did not have time to check the heat or do a basic cleaning. When I complained, Pedram gave me a credit of like $70 for both those issues which is wild as a cleaning service and a hotel stay would easily total $500. Pathetic. I knew I was in for some bullsh*t based on this. From this point on, every time something broke or needed to be fixed, and there were a lot of things that were broken UPON MOVE IN (again, this place was empty and could have been repaired beforehand), Pedram ignored my service requests in the app and my emails. I fixed things with my own time and energy and had to hound him to be reimbursed for the supplies. The whole point of renting is so that I don't have to fix things. I literally had to have a friend fix my leaking kitchen sink because the person who "fixed" it initially didn't actually fix it and Pedram would not respond to my emails at all. I begged him for help. In addition to my actual unit being terrible, the general condition of the property was abhorrent. Overgrown weeds and bushes, filthy walkways that haven't been power washed in years, garbage all over the alley where the bins are, etc. It looked totally ghetto and therefore, people treated it as such. Also, we were told with literally ZERO advanced warning that we would lose access to the washer/dryer for at least a month due to the construction project taking place in the back parking lot (earthquake retrofitting). So then I had to start taking my clothes to a laundromat which is hard to do as a professional working 50+ hr weeks. Additionally, Pedram told us we had to park our cars on the street for this project despite the workers only being there during business hours. There was no reason we had to park on the street at night, other than his negligence with regard to understanding the actual scope of the construction project. My car and several others suffered vandalism/damage due to being on the street. It was completely unnecessary, but he would have known that if he ever stepped foot onto that property or put even the smallest amount of effort into managing it. I finally had to threaten him with legal action to be allowed to break the lease, as I could not continue living in that hell hole. He will not return my security deposit and states he kept it as the lease break fee, which is of course illegal under California state law. So not only did I lose my 2k deposit, I have to pay 1k to fix my car and I paid another 1k for moving expenses. Still very seriously considering taking him to small claims court. I had a completely horrific experience at this place and I have no idea who would write a positive review. I spoke to numerous other residents who all had similar experiences and were completely frustrated and fed up. Pedram, you take advantage of people and you know it. Absolutely disgusting behavior. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You can say I'm disgruntled about the deposit or whatever you need to, to make yourself feel better, but we both know the truth.

We decided to choose her as our agent immediately; our gut feeling was that Alice was the best person to sell our house. We highly recommend her! I knew selling a house was a complicated process because I knew absolutely nothing about it. Especially since my house was rented, I needed to discuss with the tenants and arrange for them to move out. Luckily, I found Alice and asked her to be my real estate agent. She alleviated all my concerns, managed the entire process smoothly, the tenants moved out successfully, and the house was put on the market quickly. We received offers very soon! I'm so glad I chose Alice; it was the right decision. As a seller, I knew nothing about buying and selling houses. A good friend suggested I contact Alice because they had previously used her services and had a very positive experience. Alice is the most considerate person I've ever met. She not only helped me sell my house but also gave me a lot of advice, helping me understand the process and important considerations. I think I've made a wonderful friend. Throughout the entire home sale process, Alice was more than just a real estate agent; she was our unwavering support, always there for us. She answered all our questions, kept us informed of the latest developments, handled all the paperwork, and represented us in negotiations. She made us feel like not just her clients, but her most important ones. Thank you, Alice, for choosing her as your real estate agent--you definitely won't regret it!
