What Sets Us Apart
Full Service Operations
From tenant screening, to leasing to maintenance coordination and financial reporting, our team handles the day to day tasks.
Ownership Made Simple
Owning an apartment community should not require your constant oversight. Your management team will handle all the daily operations.
Effective Cost Control
Quality management is not just about rent collection. Our systems are designed to monitor maintenance costs, shorten vacancies.
Performance Driven Leasing
We all know that vacant units cost money every day that they are unoccupied. Our marketing, screening and leasing systems deliver.
Marketing
Filling Your Vacancy.
When any of your units become vacant, our first plan of action is to get it on the market in front of qualified renters.
We promote your rental across the major rental platforms with competitive pricing, strong photos accompanied by video tours and floor plans, as well as detailed descriptions that attract serious applicants.
Along with the visibility generated by our website, this approach helps shorten vacancy time and attract reliable tenants.
Screening
Tenant Screening.
We only place the best possible tenants in your property. Our thorough screening process for rental applicants has consistently kept our eviction rate very low. Utopia® also provides our owners with the optional “Utopia® Eviction Protection Program” for further piece of mind. Prospective tenant screening includes running industry-specific credit reports, verifying employment, income and previous rental history. We run credit reports on all applicants age 18 years or older. This report includes a search for prior evictions. We verify driver’s licenses, social security cards and pay stubs as well as contact their prior landlords for confirmation that they have been good tenants in the past. As a management company, we have many procedures to eliminate problem tenants prior to ever renting to them. Placing the right tenant is the single most important step in the process.
Management
Management.
Your property will be assigned a management team that specializes in your property’s area. Having a manager with specific market knowledge is extremely valuable in assessing rents and knowing local market trends. Your assigned management team will offer suggestions to make your property rent-ready, or to enhance the appeal of your property. If your property is not currently in rent ready condition, your management team can help you with this process to ease the transition into management. Our managers have years of industry specific experience and have a wide array of procedures to shield owners from unnecessary liability and help tenants feel they are being well looked after.
Maintenance
Maintenance.
Utopia® is very flexible with regards to maintenance. We outsource much of your property’s maintenance needs to a preferred list of vendors, some of which we have been using for over fifteen years. This relationship and purchasing power helps Utopia®’s clients get a better than market price for most of the work that is requested. Utopia® has a general contractor’s license (#792427) and completes work through our own maintenance technicians when that work is difficult to outsource or when we feel we can complete the work at a lower price than an outside vendor.
Utopia®’s Property Management Division is available immediately to work with the receiver in carrying out duties as established by the court pending the resolution of the dispute between the lender and owner. Experts from the Real Estate Division are available to recommend disposition strategies for the receivership property.
Accounting
Accounting.
Our accounting department provides owners with monthly financial statements confidentially posted to your owner web portal. The monthly statement includes all financial activity and copies of the bills we paid on your behalf. This same report also has year to date information, so your December statement has all of your annual figures for tax purposes. If you ever have questions regarding your statement, you can contact one of our helpful accounting staff members.
