Asset Management Strategies
Vendor management
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.
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.
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.
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.
