MINIMAL VACANCY TIME THROUGH EFFECTIVE MARKETING
Utopia Management is the market leader in Sacramento, and many renters begin their search with us. In addition to our strong reputation, the Utopia referral base, and property signage, we also utilize the most popular rental sites (including utopiamanagement.com) to create an effective presence for your rental property. Increasing exposure for your rental property in turn increases the interest of potential renters, and keeps our clients’ properties consistently occupied by qualified tenants at current optimal market rental rates.
Thorough Tenant Screening
Placing the right tenant is the single most important step in rental management. Our applicant screening includes income, rental history, employment, and eviction search to evaluate for potential delinquency issues. 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.
QUALITY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
With services available 24-hours for emergencies, as well as regular maintenance and rent-ready repairs, Utopia Management maintains many convenient and flexible options for any work your rental property may need. The long-standing relationships Utopia Management has developed with local, licensed, and insured contractors mean that our clients receive the best prices, typically lower than market rate, from the best providers for any work that is needed. Further, our general contractor’s license (#792427) allows us to efficiently use in-house technicians for prompt and affordable work, giving us the ability to choose the best option for the job.
ALL FINANCIAL DEALINGS RECORDED
In addition to maintaining your rental property and communications with tenants, Utopia Management also puts the full range of our Accounting Department at your fingertips. A personal online portal is provided in order to supply each of our clients with 24-hour access to invoices and bills, receipts, and detailed reporting of all financial matters. At the end of each year an annual financial report is provided to assist our clients with filing taxes. Further, our accounting specialists are available by email or phone to assist with any questions or concerns that may arise.

Median Rent (2019)
The median home price in Sacramento is $389,000.
Sacramento’s rental vacancy rate is approximately 2.9%.
Sacramento is the capital of California, the oldest incorporated city in California (1849), and the fastest growing city in California.
Dominating industries include the health care industry, financial sector, and thriving university presence. Old Sacramento Waterfront, in the historic gold rush area, is a popular destination with dining, entertainment, shopping, nightlife, and residence.
Home sales in Sacramento have increased in the last several years due to the area’s relatively affordable prices.
California’s large cities are notoriously expensive, with the median home price in Los Angeles at nearly $1 million, and San Francisco’s at $1.4 million; the median price of $389,000 makes Sacramento one of the more affordable markets in the state.
According to a report from Sacramento’s Business Journal, it is cheaper to rent than own in Sacramento,
with monthly mortgage payments consuming approximately 33% of the median family’s income, while a 3-bedroom rental takes only about 26%. Renting is predicted to remain the more economical option for at least the next three to five years, with the gap between expanding as a result of Sacramento home prices increasing faster than rental rates.
