Serving All of Venice

Venice is a beachfront neighborhood in the 90291 and 90294 zip code areas of Los Angeles, originally founded in 1905 as a seaside resort. Like its Italian namesake, Venice is known for the historic canals that run through one of its upscale residential areas. It is also known for its beautiful beaches and the Ocean Front Walk, a two and a half mile promenade on Venice Beach that features circus-like attractions. If you own a rental property in Venice and are looking for a reliable company to help you manage it, Utopia Management employs the experts who can help.

Whether you are still in the process of getting your property rent-ready, are looking for ways to increase the property’s value, or are deep in the day-to-day tasks of managing your rental units, we are ready to assist you. We have over twenty years of experience in aiding property owners in Southern California to get the most out of their properties – all with very little effort on their part. Here are the five basic services that we offer each of our clients:

Marketing and Advertising: Let the experts at Utopia Management give your Venice property the widespread exposure it needs to find the best tenants. We will create a wide online presence by listing it on the most popular property websites, as well as utilizing more traditional advertising methods like property signage and our referral base.

Tenant Screening: Thorough background and credit checks are just the first steps we take in screening each potential tenant before a contract is signed. We also verify driver’s licenses, social security cards, and even pay stubs, as well as looking for prior evictions and contacting previous landlords.

Management and Consulting: When you choose Utopia Management, you will partner with a team of management professionals who will take care of all of the normal daily property management tasks you’d expect – like collecting rent and serving legal notices. We can also advise you about current market trends in Venice, as well as general rental matters, to ensure that you have all of the information you need at your disposal.

Maintenance and Repair: Utopia Management maintains a general contractor’s license (#792427), which enables us to do some maintenance and repair work on your property in-house. However, when that is not possible, we hire the work out to one of the preferred vendors in the area, many of whom we’ve worked with for years.

Accounting: Our team of accounting specialists works hard to ensure that you have all of the financial data you need to keep track of your property investment. Each month, they’ll compile a statement that shows every financial transaction generated for your property, including revenues and copies of bills paid.

Do not waste another moment of frustration or aggravation trying to handle the many concerns of property management by yourself. Let Utopia Management take care of the less pleasant aspects, leaving you to enjoy the benefits of a truly profitable real estate investment. Call us today to find out more about how we can help make your Venice property a success.
