Advertising

We create an extensive web presence for your rental property by placing your property on over 100 rental websites including the most trafficked property management site in Southern California, www.utopiamanagement.com. Beyond web traffic, we also use property signage and the Utopia® referral base. Utopia Management® is known locally as the market leader and many renters look to us first. Utopia®’s marketing program, combined with our dominant position in the rental management marketplace increases exposure for your rental property. As a result, we are able to consistently rent properties, priced at current market rates, to qualified tenants in approximately thirty days.

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

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

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

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.
