While residents want to rent a nice looking home, they often have no interest, time, or knowledge on how to maintain the property. They may agree to landscape maintenance in the rental contract but it can be difficult for a property manager or owner to enforce. The...

I worked with Mary Joy from Cal-Western for my home rental needs. My experience was awesome. Our need was urgent as we lost our home in a fire and in dire need for a place to stay and start rebuilding. Mary Joy was instrumental in helping us get in to the house quickly. She worked with our temporary housing agent and was able to get the approval done in less than a day. She also helped us get information on furniture rentals and moved the application quickly so we were able to move in with in less than a week. She was also a joy to work with with an everlasting smile on the face. Cal-western also has a website where we can do rental payments, raise maintenance requests quickly. I will recommend this company for anyone searching for a home.

My son rented a house near San Jose State University (SJSU) managed by Sara @ Cal-Western. I'm very satisfied with Sara as a property manager. She responded quickly when my son and his housemate reached out to her for help with an incident at the rental property. Sara also responded quickly and acted immediately to have a plumber come right away (in the same day) to fix the plumbing issue. I would definitely recommend Cal-Western as Sara is an excellent property manager. Further, the rental property on 7th Street in San Jose is right across the street from the SJSU campus, and so it is very convenient and safe to quickly get to school.

This review is specifically for Grace Salgado, who was our property manager for a little over a year. She was extremely easy to work with, always prompt when responding to any calls, texts or emails. We had a few repairs during our stay and they were taken care of within a few business days. The property we stayed at was beautiful and well-taken care of. If we ever needed to rent again, I would definitely reach out to Grace and see what she has available.

I had the pleasure of working with Grace Salgado as my property manager for almost a decade. Every request was honored in a timely manner, all repairs were done including pest control, plumbing and heating issues. I would absolutely use their service in the future, especially with Grace.

I have been renting from Cal Western for almost 10 years maybe even more. when im moving from one place to another they manage both. It makes finding a new place so painless, and convenient. In my experience with my prop manager (Michaela) she is supper professional and polite. she is quick about getting things set up, fixed, or confirming you have been accepted on a rental. I highly recommend the Cal Western property management. Quick, & professional. The front desk ladys are always supper nice and welcoming. Thank you Michaela and cal western.

So far so good. We are tenants and so far have been at the property for over a month. Grace the property manager has been nothing but a pleasure to talk to. Had to put one work order and it was handled ASAP. They also have an app that makes it easy to pay rent.
