The Racetrack hosts some of the nation’s most prominent racing competitions and, with its mountain view panorama in the distance, is thought by many to be one of the world’s most beautiful racing destinations.

Advertisements and Marketing Efforts
The best tenants, we find, come from a careful and targeted selection process. Utopia’s robust marketing and advertising efforts ensure that people looking to rent (residentially or commercially) in Arcadia know about your property. We prominently feature your property on several highly-trafficked rental websites that cater well to zip codes 91006, 91007, 91066, and 91077 (Arcadia).. We also promote your rental at community events and by standard signage-based advertising and mailers. Our objective is to find a fantastic tenant for you within a 30 day period, and in order to do that consistently we have to be nothing short of a marketing powerhouse.
Finding the Best Tenants
We don’t do things by the luck of the draw. On the contrary, our tenant screening process is a rigorous and thorough one. And, at the end of the day, our investment in this process saves a whole lot of headaches. We employ credit and background checks, and we also sift through rental records and red-flag any eviction records. In doing so, we maximize our chances of finding great tenants who will have no trouble handling payments and will be a fantastic steward for your property.
Management and Consulting
We are your essential advisors from day one. Whether you’re looking to set up staging for your home or office property, or intend on transitioning your current residence into a rental, we can help you each step of the way. Once your property is rented, we will manage all rent collections and make sure that any vacancies are always ready to show.
Repair and Maintenance Services
If you have a maintenance problem, help is never far away. We run maintenance internally through our own team of licensed general contractors (Lic. 792427). If there’s a problem on your property, you can expect a response from us directly and quickly.
