Called many times and left messages with different people who seemingly didn't have any information about my application which was frustrating. They were very nice and kept apologizing saying they could see how many times i called but told me they had to forward it to a different team who i never heard back from. Ended up having to find a last minute place at a different building. Not sure what the issue was. It ultimately may have been landlord/management at fault vs this company but at the very least this company failed to be honest about calling me back promptly and strung me along for a long time. Seemingly a lot of people work at this company and don't communicate well enough to facilitate a smooth move in process.

Five stars, no hesitation.

Our house was not an easy sale, it was at the high end of pricing because our location was on the SF Bay. We saw many offers that did not recognize the price of an amazing view, and we weathered the storm of low offers mainly because Kate's team made it very clear what it would take to get the house. Ultimately the right buyer came, but it was Kate's team who fought to get it done. The staging, appointments, flyers, advertising, open houses all were geat, but it was the common sense bargaining knowledge and technical expertise that separates them from the rest.

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.

I have personally used Symone Colon for staging services, evaluate my property value and I have recommended my friends and family to use Symone Colon. She has proven to be reliable, professional, responsive and extremely honest with the services she provides her customers. It's unfortunate to see how people will say anything to falsely attack and create disruption in peoples lives and business. False accusations should not be taken lightly. Personally attacking a person and their business should be a crime!!

Sellers beware !! I recommended this company because of Symone Colon ( DRE 02022962) My mistake. Symone Colón knew I was not happy with her as an agent. she offered to cancel my contract and I agreed. They would not cancel the contract unless I cancelled my yelp review. Symone & Dianna said the contract was not with me and that it was illegal for me to leave a yelp review. I have all the proper paperwork Giving me 100% authorization to handle the sale of this property. This listing has been in this broker's hand for over 70 days. The agent knew she was going to get this listing by October 2021. The listing expired,their only job is to sell this property! We were given an opportunity to cancel the contract from both Symone Colon Dre 02022962 & Dianna,we accepted it, We we're NOT satisfied with Symone Colon and her inability from A-Z on selling our property. Dianna the owner/Broker threatened they would not cancel the contract with by family until I remove the yelp review. They bullied me into deleting a yelp review. I did delete the review as instructed by Bayside real estate April 22, but because it was still on Dianna's mobile telephone app ,they would not cancel the contract even though I emailed proof. The incompetence of this Broker is unbelievable. Dianna & Symone via email tired to bully & blackmail us, this went on from April 22-26 over a Yelp review! The last review they this company had was 2015 they only have four reviews ! (Shame on me for not checking reviews...) Diana and Symone made my life hell for 4 days over a yelp review, The pettiness is just as boggling as their incompetence & Unprofessionalism. I did remove the review or they would not cancel contract. I now have a canceled contract in hand. We are the clients, WE contracted YOU to sell OUR property. We entrusted YOU as OUR agent to guide US as you are the LICENSED agents. Sellers beware of Bayside real estate & all parties affiliated with this company! I do not not want them to do this to one other person Or Family !! The undue stress they caused our Family is 100% unacceptable knowing they have current medical issues & I have documentation stating because of medical issues please deal with Debbie Ramos. I've known Symone Colón for over 25 years or so. the fact that she can do this to a friend. Also the comment left below by Violeta ,she's her best friend from .

Attempted to use them again in February and March 2016, and although there were no listings that met my criteria, I felt that the staff could have been more friendlier and more courteous. They may be pushy to complete a rental application, so that you may pay their fee. But don't feel the pressure to do this folks, until you physically view a place that meets your criteria. You do have a couple of options on Alameda, if you choose to search through a rental agency. Do your homework.

California housing laws are blatantly ignored, along with some Federal laws. The so-called resident manager (who did not appear for months after the previous res. mgr. retired and left in Oct. 2025) does not fulfill the CA housing law description for that position in a multi-residential apt. bldg. She is not on-site during the day but instead works in G&L's offices elsewhere. She's also said that she sometimes sleeps elsewhere. She does not keep the common areas clean as the previous res. mgr. did either. Most recently, residents began receiving a 24-hour notice of a pending inspection for smoke and C02 detectors with orders to clear out belongings below kitchen & bathroom sinks, as well as anything on the tops of toilets, making it clear that any breakage would be the residents' fault. Tenants were told that 2 people would be entering their homes - a named "vendor" and a G&L rep. Some tenants subsequently endured 4 strangers coming into their homes, some of whom opened their refrigerator, freezer and closet doors without permission; the latter are violations of the CA Civil Code Sect. 1954. Shockingly, it gets even worse. One tenant who had endured the "inspection" described above w/4 strangers showing up, came home from work a few days later and found that her front door lock had been changed. No notice or reason had been given in advance. This is a blatant act of harassment and violates CA Civil Code 789.3. I have no idea what property owners get out of using this outfit, unless the intent is to drive away all the long-term residents in order to charge current rental rates in Alameda to new renters. Since Alameda has rent control, that seems plausible. If true, shame of them! What the owners might better focus on is the fact that they share legal liability for their property management company's actions. Plus, there are certainly ample grounds for successful rent reduction pleas with the Alameda Rent Program. Fellow renters - consider yourself warned.

Communication has been the biggest issue. Getting a response to emails or calls routinely takes days, and often I've had to follow up two or three times before getting any reply at all. Important updates about my property -- repair schedules, tenant issues, inspection results -- are rarely communicated proactively. I typically find out about problems only after they've escalated, and I'm left chasing basic information that should be provided as a matter of course. On top of that, the fees charged for repairs have been consistently inflated. Invoices come through with little to no itemization, making it impossible to tell whether the labor and materials charged actually reflect the work done. When I've asked for breakdowns or quotes before work is authorized, I've either been ignored or given vague justifications after the fact. More than once, charges for simple repairs have come in well above what comparable local contractors would charge for the same job. Between the lack of communication and the repair markups, I've lost confidence that this company is managing my property in my best interest. If you're evaluating a property manager, I'd urge you to ask upfront about how repair costs are itemized and approved, and to get a clear commitment on response times before signing anything. I have since moved on and work with another Management company a more professionally run company.
