James Frangella at Bay Homes and Estates has certainly earned our trust and appreciation. We had a multi-year property management agreement with him and he went well above and beyond taking care of our property. Conscientious, thorough and great at keeping an eye on costs!
James was then our agent when we finally sold the property, and we we couldn't be happier with how much he helped with prepping the house... and then how smoothly the sale went. James and his agency has definitely earned our appreciation and highest recommendation. Give them a try... we're sure you'll be happy with your experience!

We hired another property management company to manage our 2 rentals and were unsatisfied with there performance. After hearing good things about James Frangella we decided to hire him, which was a excellent decision in 2013. He was professional, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and managed our rentals like they were his own. When we decided to sale the rentals and our family home in 2019 he guided us through the entire process to ensure that we received best price for each property. James was awesome !

I cannot overstate how incredibly glad I am for having James Frangella at Bay Homes and Estates recommended to us to be our property manager. From the first interactions, James has been professional and helpful. Whenever anything comes up with the property it seems like James has a potential solution ready to offer, as well as at least one back up option making my biggest decision have to be 'Which option do I want to go with?'

James was also extremely helpful in finding the tenants quickly, working to help both the tenants and myself so that we were both happy with the arrangement, and keeping us informed with what is going on.

I was nervous about getting a property manager because of the reviews I saw on management companies in general in the Monterey area. Now, I can't imagine having to do it all by myself once again without James there to assist me.

James is on the JOB!
James Frangella with Bay Homes and Estates is a major reason I continue to invest in Monterey County real estate. I have been investing in and managing real estate and rental properties in California for over 30 years and I know what it takes to be an outstanding agent and property manager. James has all the qualities that I believe are necessary and those I look for in a Real Estate Broker, Agent and Property Manager.
The significant qualities I have found in James' work ethic are almost too numerous to mention.
Most important to me is Integrity. James is honest and forthright in all his business dealings. He has a lifetime of knowledge about the Monterey Peninsula, the developing and changing trends in the market, the current and impending regulations, and has an impressive network of local service resources.
In the last several years James has represented me in the sale and purchase of property and has been an outstanding rental property manager. He is highly organized, responsive, diligence, personable, effectively communicates, and is always very professional.
It is a pleasure working with him and knowing I don't have to worry about my rentals because James is on the job. I can just relax and enjoy this beautiful area I now call home.

James helped us find the house of our dreams in the neighborhood of Fishermans Flats. He made the house hunting process seamless and always had our best interest in mind. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of everything and we love our neighborhood. We can't thank James enough for everything he has done for us. We couldn't have done it without all of his guidance and expertise. James is an honest, professional and all around awesome person to have in your corner, and we would 100% will use him again in the future!

James Frangella at Bay Homes and Estates has been both our landlord/property manager and our realtor for almost 8 years now. He has been straight forward and genuine from the beginning, making the sale of our Santa Cruz home much smoother than we expected, and helping us find and buy the perfect home in Monterey. He also sold my father in law’s home in Atascadero, navigating all the chaos of Covid and distance and fragile emotions. James is personable, professional and a really good guy.

My wife and I had the good fortune of finding James last year as a property manager when we moved back to the area. He is approachable, generous with his time, and extremely easy to work with. We cannot recommend him enough.
