Investing in real estate can be lucrative – especially in areas of the country like Hawthorne, California, where home values are on the rise and rental demand is increasing at a rapid pace. Hawthorne, located in the southwestern portion of Los Angeles County, is home to 84,000 people. It is a popular, family-friendly community known for its quality schools – including several colleges. It offers spacious parks, incredible views of the hills, and a successful commercial sector. Owning real estate here can be quite lucrative if it is priced properly and managed appropriately. Let the 20 years of experience that Utopia Property Management has in the area help you to do just that.

Hawthorne is a growing community with significant rental demand, with a great deal of competition in several neighborhoods. When you work with Utopia Property Management, you’ll streamline the process of securing long term, quality tenants and minimize the hassles that many owners face. Our team works with residential property owners who own single family homes, condos, or apartments, as well as industrial and commercial properties. Our Hawthorne property management services include:

Advertising and marketing: Work with us to market your property effectively. We can do this in a number of ways but always with the goal of getting a signed contract in your hand within 30 days. To accomplish this quick turnaround time, we employ aggressive, local and web-based marketing. When we list your property online, we use only the very best websites available to ensure that you receive quality prospects.

Tenant screening: Our comprehensive tenant screening process focuses on providing you with access to the very best tenants. We do this to uncover the character and qualifications of all viable tenants. The process includes identity verification, background checks, and credit checks. We verify income and employment for you, too.

Management and consulting: Our Hawthorne experts know the area well and can help you to make this transition a successful one. Let us help you to convert an owner occupied property to a rental unit or give you in-depth help and support in establishing the highest rents possible.

Maintenance: We maintain a general contractor’s license (Lic. #792427), which means that we can handle most of your maintenance and repair needs in-house. By doing this, you are able to pay significantly less and increase your bottom line profits. We also minimize many of the hassles related to maintenance and repairs.

Accounting: Access to all of the pertinent financial data related to your property is a must, which is why we have created the Utopia web portal. This tool allows you to see the current revenue and expenses associated with your Hawthorne property at any given time.
