Los Olivos

Serving All of Los Olivos

Los Olivos is home to vineyards, horse ranches, history, and more. Located in the crux of Santa Barbara County’s wine country, Los Olivos may be small in population (1,132 inhabitants) but it’s big on experience. The streets are awash in beautiful architecture, original restaurants, and charming boutique shops. Los Olivos is located within zip code 93441, and lies within the 805 area code.

Utopia Management makes it our business to understand the rental market in Los Olivos. If you trust us to manage your property, then we’ll make it our goal to acquire qualified tenant(s) for you within a 30-day period. We accomplish this through a coordinated marketing campaign involving a sweeping online outreach through all the popular house/home/apartment hunting websites. There’s also no substitute for the experience of our local market experts in Los Olivos.

Once we have narrowed down a list of qualified tenants, the rigors of our screening process are set into motion. We first verify the legitimate identities of all prospective applicants to ensure there is no risk of fraud. Afterwards, we look into the rental history, employment history, and credit history of your prospective tenants. If everything is in order, we’ll arrange a time to meet in person with the prospective tenant, and if it’s a good fit, we’ll collect a security deposit along with the first and last month’s rent prior to move-in.

At Utopia Management, we believe that experience counts, and we bring 20 years of experience to bear in our business. We will ensure that your investment portfolio reaches maximum ROI. Our experience in Los Olivos and the surrounding areas allows us to stay on top of market trends and to set appropriate rent levels for your tenants. We can also assist you if you’re looking to transition your home into a rental property.

For maintenance issues, we operate as a general contractor – our license number is 792427. Handling maintenance in house means more money saved for our clients and a more responsive service time for our tenants. In the event that we’re unable to address a maintenance concern in-house, we select third party vendors from a carefully scrutinized, pre-approved list.

Property owners will love our secure online portal. This portal is used to provide our clients with up-to-date reports on the financial performance of their rental properties. Our team of dedicated financial professionals ensure that your information is always accurate and clearly formatted. To make things even easier for our clients and tenants, we process online direct-deposit rent payments. We also handle all property-related monthly billings on behalf of our clients. We will prepare and serve all rental increase notices, and we will also calculate interest on security deposits as needed.

Utopia Management is the largest property management company doing business in Southern California. We’re also a global leader in the field, having managed thousands of units for clients worldwide. Our commitment is to minimize your hassles and to tend to all aspects of tenant management, all while ensuring that you maximize the value of your rental property. Contact us today to see just how easy it is when you partner with us!
