Cardoza Properties

I wouldn’t suggest this company for property management. They are very unresponsive and unhelpful. Every time something is needed to be done or an issue needs to be addressed they do not respond and do not send someone out there in a reasonable amount of time. Many times we have had to go around them to get the issue fixed. Also, if Chris Trodden is your property manager, don’t expect to see or hear from him.

We were renting a commercial warehouse in the Antioch Delta Business Park off Verne Roberts Circle street. We just finished our lease because the area has been too dangerous to stay do to the location is a perfect area to get broken into. We did a walk through with one of the property managers and they start complaining about areas that were not in working condition when we rented the place, such as the AC unit in the office and the roof licking and they had the nerve to tell us that we should have fix it. Is not our building and we were not going to fix for them something that never worked or was damaged. So, to avoid any headaches i will recommend not doing any business with Cardoza Properties. Their MO is to blame the tenant to any issue in their buildings that are not well maintain at all.

I called several times to inquire about a property in Walnut Creek. I received a call after 4 days, telling me the property was probably rented. The receptionist also called to ask if I had received a call back. I never got any information on the property so went to a tenant in the same building and was told that the location had been empty for 6 months and that people looked at the location constantly.
I called again to inquire about the property but did not receive a call back. After several months the property is still vacant. Just wondering why it is still vacant and why no one even thought to call back an interested business… wow.

I truly don’t understand the previous review. How can you judge a business based on one of their hundreds of properties having a few vacancies and another having a parking lot with potholes and lacking stripes? I’d recommend doing business with an organization prior to reviewing them on Unilocal.Ignorance and self-​righteous indignation can be blissful.
Cardoza has been a no-​frills property manager. Like many many managers, tenants pay rent and triple-​net (common area maintenance included) This is pretty standard.
Some tenants choose not to pay their rent. They often work with you if you have a few soft months. But if it happens for 15 months straight, they may threaten the boot. Sometimes they evict if the rent stops coming and the tenant refuses to work an agreement out with them. This tends to upset owners, who apparently are blind to their own part. Some want to close early and get out of their contract. Although I don’t know what exactly what happened in cases like this, the former owner I spoke with didn’t understand why Cardoza didn’t roll over and obey her initial wishes without countering. Entitlement issues maybe?
My experience with the account execs – great, accommodating, but sometimes hard to get a hold of. Property manager = responsive, fair, yet firm in boundaries. I start stacking and storing stuff in the hall, they tell me I don’t rent the hall. When the neighbor constantly plugs the toilet, they tell the neighbor not to flush half a roll of paper down the toilet. The lot is cleaned a few times a week. Maintenance responds often within the hour. They went above and beyond by helping with wiring and adjustments prior to moving in. The building is old but the rent and triple net are low and hence the value is outstanding given the location.
