Claremont Property Management Company

Serving All of Claremont

Voted the fifth best place in the U.S. to live in 2007, Claremont is a small city with a big personality. It is home to the Claremont Colleges, a consortium of seven graduate and undergraduate schools modeled on Cambridge and Oxford, and has been called the “city of trees and Ph.Ds.” It has a rich architectural and cultural history and is well-known for its stately historical homes. Although primarily residential, Claremont offers both a thriving commercial life and major industrial center. It offers a variety of housing choices to meet any lifestyle, from condominiums and apartments to beautiful single-family homes.

If you’re a property owner in the area, Utopia can help simplify your life. We offer comprehensive management services that can increase revenue, lower expenses, and take some of the hassle out of doing business. Our Claremont services include:

Marketing and advertising: There’s more to marketing your property than putting a “for rent” sign in the yard. We live in the digital age, and your potential tenants are living their lives online. Our marketing campaign will not only take advantage of traditional mediums like local advertising and signage, but we’ll then take it one step further. We will post your listing on multiple rental websites, and engage our network of industry professionals to focus online attention on your digital listing. Our ultimate goal is to have a contract signed and a tenant in residence within 30 days.

Tenant screening services: Finding quality tenants is essential. Our screening process takes the guesswork out of things—we not only run a background and credit check, but we also verify their income, employment status, and more. A thorough background investigation can uncover a host of possible problems, and ensure that your tenants are among the highest quality of applicants.

Management and consulting services: In our 20 years in the industry, we’ve learned a lot—and we are excited to share our knowledge with you. We’ll be with you every step of the way, from showing your property to setting your rent levels. Managing your property can be an intimidating proposition, but we’ll be there to guide you through each part of the process.

Repairs and maintenance: Even the newest and best-built properties need repairs occasionally, and the older the property the more of a headache it becomes. Our experienced professional maintenance staff can take this issue off the table – we can address most maintenance concerns in-house, and if we can’t, we’ll contact an approved third-party vendor who can. Best of all, we can often complete the job faster than an outside contractor and at a lower price.

Accounting: You’re probably not interested in being your own accountant, and we know that. So we’ve created a dedicated accounting team who will take this complex job off your hands. Each month, we compile a financial report showing all of your income and expenses for the month, and we’ll deliver it directly to your Utopia web portal.

If you are looking for the best property management firm in Claremont, look no further. Contact Utopia Property Management today and let us do the heavy lifting.

We verify identification, social security cards and pay stubs, along with contacting prior landlords for recommendations, keeping the delinquency rate to a minimum. Our thorough screening process for potential tenants has consistently kept our eviction rate at less than one percent.

Utopia also provides our owners with the optional “Utopia® Eviction Protection Program” for further peace of mind.  As a management company, we have many procedures in place to assist in the elimination of potential liabilities.
