I encountered some red flags while dealing with this company, which led me to walk away from the lease: 1. They demanded the security deposit be collected prior to the signing of the lease agreement. 2. There were discrepancies between the advertised terms on Zillow and the conditions presented in their final contract. 3. The front desk staff displayed unprofessional conduct(eg. pointing) during my deposit handling. I’m relieved I didn’t sign the contract at the last minute.

Diana Cortez didn't showed up in a rental property. It's so far the worst experience ever. If you don't want to show up, stop your listing. To reply to the owner: Yes. It was confirmed, and I am one of the family on the site. There might only be 2 people making reservation - Their family is more than 2 people. Make sense?

I am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and have been renting a 1-bedroom apartment in Palo Alto from Patricia Espinoza for the past year and a half. The entire experience has been outstanding! I originally found the listing on Zillow, and from the very beginning, Patricia was incredibly professional, responsive, and reliable. Whether I reached out via text, phone, or email, she was always quick to respond and very helpful. The rent was very reasonable for the area, and it remained consistent throughout the lease—no unexpected increases. That kind of stability and fairness is rare and much appreciated. I highly recommend Patricia and her company to anyone looking for an apartment in the Palo Alto area. You’ll be in great hands!

I rented through Cal-Western Property Management twice and have been satisfied with the prompt responses from the agents. I had to move from the first location in San Jose due to the passing of the condominium owner. I then returned to Cal-Western again when I located an affordable apartment in Sunnyvale, which met my needs. The staff at the office on Winchester were very helpful and seem to enjoy serving the clients needs.

Grace Salgado at Cal-Western is detailed-oriented and went above and beyond in a professional and friendly manner.

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.

Thank you Sara for reaching helping us get after hours in getting a Plummer to our apartment so quickly! You’re the best!

The locations are quiet despite the fact that it is next to the gas station. I like the area and the neighbors are all quiet.,,,, I feel very happy when makeila manayer as she attends to all my needs cal - western safe

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.

Sheila was incredibly helpful during my move in.

Service was great

If you’re a landlord and want an average property management group, this is the one. Wasn’t the worst, wasn’t the best. They don’t go above and beyond, or even go do their job, unless pressed at times.

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.

Michaela Coppock manages a property for us. She is professional, responsive, intelligent, pro active and conscientious in looking our for our tenants and for the property - she represents Cal Western well!!! She's the best!!

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.

Very frustrating to work with. Our agent Cathy was outright obnoxious, hard to communicate with, a liar, and awol. Please avoid if you can.

Won't fix the laundry machines for weeks at a time. Accuses tenants of causing paint to peel. Generally rude about everything.

I came to cal western management in search of renting with no hesitation I was greeted and helped in time I found my desired place of rental Casey from cal western management was honest which helped with my decision I haven't had a issue I love my place of rent and what needed to get fix was done in a proper time I'm very satisfied with management so far price reasonable quiet area and no pest so far its a winning situation for me so good luck to those who read this

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.

I pick up some stuff that they had to get rid off chairs an file cabinets
