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.

This was the longest I'd stayed…read morein the same apartment my entire adult life, and if I didn't leave to move out of the country I'd still happily be renting from them in the same spot. Rent was very reasonable for a beautiful high-ceilinged 1-bed, 1-bath full of natural sunlight in the middle of uptown Oakland. We had a full-sized washer and dryer in unit, a gated parking spot, and even a small front yard with a loquat tree. Laura, Nick, Chandra and team were always friendly, supportive beyond our tenant-landlord relationship, and quick to respond to maintenance requests, which were easy to place using the online portal provided. This was by far my best experience renting in my time in the US, and I miss my former apartment already.

I've rented my home through Advent for several years, and have many good maintenance experiences…read more I am writing specially to recognize Julio, part of Advent's maintenance team. Julio has come to my house several times and is always extremely helpful, kind, personable, resourceful, generous, and generally a delight to be around. Today, he came by to fix my range, didn't have the necessary tool, so went out to his truck and made it! In minutes, he was back in and adjusted the range exactly to my liking. Thank you, Julio, for making life easier every time you visit!

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 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.

She coordinated high-quality staging, arranged thorough cleaning, and managed every detail with incredible care--all on an impressively tight timeline and budget. What truly stood out was her exceptional communication, even while I was traveling across time zones. Ann stayed proactive, responsive, and always one step ahead, making sure I felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the house looked amazing and sold super quickly. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey. I highly recommend Ann and the Monday Team to anyone looking for a real estate agent who goes the extra mile and delivers results.

When I got key he left immediately, super unprofessional. Never showed me the mailbox, about the garbage. I had questions. I discovered he left the door open on purpose because it reeked of cigarettes and they never cleaned place as promised and it took DAYS to get in contact with them despite how fast they were when they wanted my money! Total scam. I can't imagine actually keeping a lease with these people. Terrifying to think about being stuck with a management that don't come when you need something fixed etc. I'm so grateful I know my rights, dont let them scam you please don't believe the reviews of 5 stars. For sure they're lies. If you read the one star reviews they are all consistent with what I'm telling you. I hope these guy go down so bad. Idk how this operation is legal. Really hope they don't get away with it. Absolutely your money is not worth this headache. Slumlord of Oakland not Selborne.

She orchestrated an excellent remodel of the space, allowing us to have it just the way we wanted so we could be more efficient. We love the extra back office we have now. Anne is ethical and communicative with all money issues, which I can't say for other landlords I've had. I would definitely rent or even buy from Anne again.
