Serving All of Mission Canyon

Named for the Old Mission Santa Barbara that lies just south of Mission Canyon territory, Mission Canyon offers a rich, scenic experience to visitors and residents alike. The actual canyon itself is among the Santa Ynez Mountain’s most stunning areas to behold. The local peak, “La Cumbre,” draws hikers to an altitude of 3,985 feet. The local zip code is 93105 and the population is 2,381 as of the 2010 census.

Your Mission Canyon investment property can be up, running, and earning revenues within 30 days’ time. If you’re willing to trust Utopia Management with your investment property, then we’ll do everything within our capability to find the perfect tenant(s), one who will pass all necessary background checks and will reliably pay his or her rent on time very month. We use both internet marketing and word of mouth advertising to find good tenants – fast.

Working with a short list of qualified, interested candidates, we refine our search even further by using background checks, credit history checks, and ID verifications. We also make use of available rental histories, and search for any eviction records. The goal is to ensure that we choose a tenant who will pay on time and will never be evicted.  If it looks like we’ve got a good fit at-hand, then we’ll find a way to meet the qualified tenant via an open house or through a scheduled residence showing.

No one knows Mission Canyon like Utopia Management. Our 20 years of experience, when put to work on your behalf, will ensure that you get the most value possible out of your investment property portfolio. Our licensed local agents will keep the property ready to show and will leverage their knowledge of the local market to help you set rent at the optimal amount.  Among the different types of properties that we manage:

-Single Family
-Condominiums
-Multi-family complexes
-Office buildings
-Commercial real estate

We operate as a licensed general contractor (Lic. #792427), too. This allows us to complete maintenance tasks in-house, which means that service is more cost-effective and quite expedient. Our expert team of maintenance professionals can handle virtually any issue, but in the event we need help from a third party, we use vendors from a scrutinized, pre-approved list. You can rest assured that your property will be well taken care of.

Financial reporting is an important part of managing an investment party. At Utopia Management, we give our clients access to a secure online portal where they can follow the financial performance of their property. We also prepare special end-of-year reports, such as income and expense statements. To make things more convenient for our clients and tenants, we process direct deposit online rent payments. We also service all monthly bills on behalf of the client. The secure web portal can be viewed on a PC or from a tablet or other mobile device.

We take pride in reducing hassles and maximizing profits for our clients. After doing business for 20 years in Mission Canyon and the surrounding area, Utopia Management has emerged as the largest property management company operating in Southern California. We are highly proficient at finding good tenants fast and attending to all tenant related issues.
