Our range of property management services were designed with our discriminating clients in mind. Our local experts know the area well and will help drive top-of-market rents while minimizing vacancies in your Culver City properties. We offer affordable rates and highly personalized service. Call us today to discuss how we can partner with you to increase your revenues and minimize both hassles and expenses. Some of our premium Culver City rental services include:
Marketing: The first step toward creating a prosperous rental property is minimizing vacancies. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes traditional advertising and signage with a premium web-based listing service. We cross-post each listing on numerous high-performing websites, so your property can be viewed by potential tenants in Culver City, but also across the country.
Tenant screening: Once your property has been listed, the application and screening process begins. You want to be sure that your unique property is rented by a trustworthy and financially responsible tenant. We’ve created an extensive screening process that includes a background and credit check, plus employment, income, and identity verification.
Management and consulting: We’ve been managing properties in Southern California for a long time, and we’d love to share our expertise with you. Whether you need help pricing your rental property, renovating, or simply staging your rental for a successful showing, our consultants are ready to help.

Maintenance: Property maintenance and repairs are a necessary evil, and keeping up with these tasks will save you heaps of money in the long run. That’s where we come in. While you could certainly do the work yourself or call around to find a third-party to complete the work, we operate under a general contractor’s license (Lic. # 792427), which allows us to complete most repairs and maintenance activities in-house.
Accounting: The financial success of your investment property is understandably one of your top concerns. Our team of accounting professionals will compile monthly financial reports documenting every expense line item and all of your revenues, so you’ll have a clear picture of your finances. The report can be accessed via your personalized Utopia web portal from any computer or mobile device.
