Serving All of Duarte

The city of Duarte rests on historic Route 66, in sunny Los Angeles County. Known as the “city of health”, Duarte boasts a rich cultural history, dating back to the mid-1800s. Duarte is an active community, full of parks, playgrounds and family-centered activities. Close to big-city life, Duarte still maintains its small-city charm. If you are looking for property management services in Duarte, Utopia Property Management can help.

Utopia Property Management offers over 20 years of experience managing a variety of properties throughout Southern California. We understand the local housing and rental markets in Duarte and employ experts who can provide rental strategies that are specific to the unique Duarte market. We offer several standard property management services, including:

Marketing: We aim to get your property noticed quickly. We will employ a targeted marketing campaign to drive prospective tenants to your listing and ensure a speedy time-to-contract. Traditional marketing strategies will be combined with web-based listing services to bring the most attention to your property. Your property will be listed on several top-performing websites. We will work hard to see that your property catches the eye of quality tenants.

Tenant screening: Finding the right tenant for your Duarte property is a top priority, so we’ve developed an extensive screening process that identifies tenants with exemplary character and the ability to manage rental costs. Background and credit screening will uncover any hidden concerns and employment, income, and identity screenings will determine the candidate’s viability. Our goal is to find tenants who will pay you on time and who pose a low eviction risk. We cover all bases so that you can enjoy a peaceful owner/tenant relationship.

Management and consulting: The local market experts at Utopia Property Management can provide guidance with home and office staging and owner to rental transition. Our team will also assist you with establishing market-level rents and setting a payment schedule. The extensive knowledge of the Duarte area and surrounding cities makes our property managers the perfect resource for any property owner.

Maintenance: Don’t get bogged down with property management and maintenance concerns. Our maintenance experts can assist with nearly all of your property maintenance needs. We operate under a general contractor’s license (Lic. # 792427). This allows us to handle most repairs and maintenance services in-house and often at a more cost-efficient rate than you could negotiate on your own.

Accounting: Ensuring that your investment property is performing financially and that all financial transactions are recorded properly are vitally important property management functions. The experienced accounting team at Utopia Property Management will compile comprehensive monthly reports that detail all revenue and expense items. This report is available directly to you through your Utopia web portal.

Utopia Property management takes pride in our exemplary service to our clients and their tenants. You can trust our experience as a local property management service. We look forward to helping you maximize your rental income while making your life easier. Contact us today to hear more about what we have to offer.
