Frequently Asked Questions

How do you qualify a tenant?

Per California Landlord/Tenant Law, we qualify applicants based on Income /Employment Verification; Rental History with Landlord Reference, and Credit Worthiness based on timely payment of credit accounts; bankruptcies, foreclosures, repossessions, collections and evictions. All of this is included in the management fee; there is no extra charge.

Do you add a mark up to work performed by outside vendors?

No, we do not charge maintenance override fees. We do not add any mark up to their invoice. If the plumber charges $100, you would be charged $100.

How much experience does your company have in property management (not including experience in real estate sales)?

Cal Western has been doing Property Management since 1969. That is our specialty. We are not a Real Estate Sales Office so we don't normally sell property. However, the owners are Licensed California Real Estate Brokers so we are able to sell property at the owner’s request.

Milpitas Area Information

Milpitas was first inhabited by the Tamyen (also spelled Thomien, Tamien, Thamien, or Tamiayn), a linguistic subgroup of the Muwekma Ohlone people who had resided in the San Francisco Bay Area for thousands of years. The Ohlone Indians lived a traditional life based on everyday hunting and gathering. Some of the Ohlone lived in various villages within what is now modern-day Milpitas, including sites underneath what are now the Calvary Assembly of God Church and Higuera Adobe Park.4 Archaeological evidence gathered from Ohlone graves at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in 1993 revealed a rich trade with other tribes from Sacramento to Monterey.

During the Spanish expeditions of the late 18th century, several missions were founded in the San Francisco Bay Area. During the mission period, Milpitas served as a crossroads between Mission San José de Guadalupe in modern-day Fremont and Mission Santa Clara de Asis, in present Santa Clara. The land in modern-day Milpitas was divided between the 6,353-acre Rancho Rincon de Los Esteros (Spanish for "corner of the wetlands") granted to Ygnacio Alviso; the 4,457.8-acre Rancho Milpitas (Spanish for "little corn fields") granted to José María Alviso; and the 4,394.35-acre Rancho Los Tularcitos (Spanish for "little tule marshes") granted to José Higuera. Jose Maria Alviso was the son of Francisco Xavier Alviso and Maria Bojorquez, both of whom arrived in San Francisco as children with the de Anza Expedition. (A son of Ygnacio Alviso was also named Jose Maria Alviso, this has led to some confusion by researchers.) Due to Jose Maria Alviso's descendents' difficulty securing his claims to the Rancho Milpitas property, portions of his land were either swindled from the Alviso family or were sold to American settlers to pay for legal fees.
