Commercial property management requires the understanding of the specialized needs of commercial tenants and properties. We professionally handle leasing and investment strategies for office, retail, and industrial spaces through use of practiced and fine-tuned methods and techniques. For commercial real estate management, we tailor our solutions and fees to the specific needs and complexity of each property, giving our clients the most economical option for all-encompassing administration of their rentals.

We list and manage a large selection of single family homes, townhouses, and condominiums of all sizes and values in Tacoma. Our fee for residential properties is fully transparent with no hidden leasing or setup fees, at an extremely competitive 8%. All rental management services are included: marketing properties with greater visibility, collection of monthly rental payments with online options, leasing, screening, and providing ample options for quality and quick repairs. All accounting records are made accessible through monthly statements provided via your personal and secure online portal. We help owners of just a single property to investment groups with a large portfolio. Our property owners appreciate the way we handle everything that comes up with professionalism and organization. Choose Utopia as your property management company and watch your headaches diminish and your returns increase.

We increase the range of visibility for your property by placing attractive listings on the top websites for rental property searches, including utopiamanagement.com, along with signage at the property and the Utopia Referral Base. Greater exposure means more interest from qualified potential tenants, giving us the ability to occupy rentals with eligible tenants and minimal vacancy time. Our strong presence in the market has led to many renters beginning their property searches with us. We offer online scheduling options for showings available 7-days a week. Utopia Management’s staff of licensed professionals is local to the area of your property, giving them the constant insight into market trends and knowledge of the most beneficial rental rates for the area.

To eliminate unnecessary legal liabilities and delinquency, we thoroughly screen all applicants and select the best-quality tenants possible. Placement of the right tenant is possibly the single most important aspect of successful rental property management, with less chance of expenses resulting from a renter’s misuse or negligence of the property, or worse. Quality tenant placement also results in lower evictions, and Utopia Management proudly maintains less than a 1% eviction rate for our clients. We go beyond just checking employment and income by also verifying licenses, social security cards, and pay stubs. Industry-specific credit reports are obtained with past eviction record searches, and further including contacting previous landlords for renter references. We also offer the optional “Utopia Eviction Protection Program” for added safeguarding and peace of mind.

After decades in the market, we have had the opportunity to partner with many local vendors for maintenance and repair needs of all sized and scope. Our business relationship with our list of preferred vendors typically means we receive lower than market rates for services needed. For regular maintenance or specialty and difficult needs that may otherwise be difficult to outsource, the use of our in-house technicians (through general contractor’s license #792427) provide a reliable and cost-effective option. At Utopia Management, we handle it all, from move-in and move-out inspections with video, to 24-hour emergency call response.

The accounting team at Utopia Management handles all income and expenses on your behalf with detailed reporting. All transactions are catalogued on monthly statements sent through your secure online portal, with full details and copies of any bills or invoices paid. At the end of each year, annual statements are provided with yearly figures to aid in streamlined tax filing. Tenants are provided with their own portals online to facilitate easy deposit and monthly rental payments. Our accounting staff is just a phone call away and happy to assist with any questions or concerns you may have about your statements or properties.
