Serving All of Fairfield
Fairfield is an area located right near the heart of Sacramento, with several things for a person to do that are only a short drive away. This location is popular simply due to its location being so close to the city. Several people own homes here that they have turned into rental homes for those who are new to the area. If you own a home in the area and are considering turning this into a rental property, we have services that are going to greatly benefit you!
What We Offer
We are a full-service property management company, meaning that we handle every aspect of a rental home for the landlord. For landlords, this means less work on your behalf, as we all know that owning a rental can mean a lot of time invested. So, what are our services?
When first getting your rental home on the market, we offer marketing and advertising services to ensure that your home is being seen by the clear majority of the rental market who are looking to move into Fairfield. Once people start applying to live here, we screen potential tenants to find the one that is going to be the best pick for your home. We utilize background investigations that do include past rental history to make a great tenant selection for you.
From there, we start to handle the day to day activities for your rental home. This includes arranging for any repairs to be made, along with daily maintenance of a home. We also help with the accounting aspects such as collecting rent on a monthly basis.

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.
