Advertising takes time, but it also takes skill. Rental marketing in a place like Newport can be challenging due to its low profile. Yes, Newport is a county seat, but many renters in Washington tend to look at other areas of the country. With Utopia as your property manager, though, these difficulties are overcome. We market your property with the kind of engaging language that guarantees interest from potential renters.

We use more than just engrossing writing to encourage interest in your investment property, though. We also create new photography using our in-house marketing team. These images, allied to our SEO-optimized content, will encourage as much interest in your rental properties as possible. Once the interest begins to flow in from interested parties, we screen applicants to find the best partner for your portfolio.

Managing your property is a 24/7 process, which means many property owners find it tough to keep on top of their obligations. You might soon find that you need to leave a family event, for example, because a Newport tenant has called with a complaint. Or, you might need to spend the earliest hours of the morning contacting contractors to find a maintenance service for an overnight emergency. Sound fun?

We know that most landlords find this to be tedious and time-consuming. To avoid the risks that come with property management, leave it to us. As your property manager in Newport, we will guarantee that your property gets our utmost attention on a 24/7 basis. Our dedicated team is always here to take calls and to create improved rental conditions. Low vacancy rates below the local 9% average are created.

If you want to have an easier life as a landlord in Newport, you need to know you have reliable renters. Due to these high vacancy rates, though, many landlords simply take the first application they receive. While we recommend your desire to fill up vacancies quickly, it is not always wise to choose a tenant without due attention to detail. As your property manager, we handle all tenant screening obligations.

Our team uses a dedicated service to assess potential renters. We look for issues that might exist in their rental history or issues in their professional or personal situation. Only those who tick every box and give us no cause for concern will be considered. We never want to saddle a landlord with unsuitable tenants, so we review every applicant very closely. This is why our eviction ratio sits at under 1% nationwide!

The numbers might seem like they add up naturally, but owner-investors in Newport need to know for sure. At Utopia, we offer an accounting service that guarantees 100% accurate record-keeping on all your money in and out. Our team provides comprehensive financial reporting services. Everything is accounted for and broken down into monthly statements accessible via our owner portal network.

We do not only handle your financial reporting, though; we also handle rent collection. Our team will guarantee that rent is paid when it should be; otherwise, we will enforce penalties, including evictions. Once we know that rent is paid, we will get to work on delivering it to you through our online payment network. Rent then arrives in your account far sooner than it would if you self-managed rent collection.

Maintenance sounds simple, but we have seen firsthand the damage done to many rental properties in Newport by cowboys. At Utopia, we know that you expect us to deliver a high standard of repairs as your property manager. So, we have created an in-house maintenance division. They deal with most work, though we can also hire local experts as a licensed general contractor.

Maintenance requests can be made at any time, including during overnight emergencies and holidays. We always find someone who can get to work immediately and carry out the job you are looking for. Our team will guarantee that maintenance meets standards and is delivered by accredited, experienced, and insured professionals. You never need to worry about delayed repairs in your rental properties again!

If you want to create long-term relationships with Newport tenants, you need to set boundaries early on. As your property manager in Newport, we do this through the creation of a dedicated lease agreement. Each lease is written specifically for each property, ensuring that owners and tenants can form a positive relationship. Our team guarantees that you and your tenants share an understanding of what comes next.

Should a dispute take place, our in-house legal assistance is here to help you work through the issues. However, any problems that arise regarding legal matters or disputes with tenants will be handled by us. We reduce the risk of legal liability while being in full compliance with every law in place. Laws change all the time, too, so we review the rules of Washington and the federal government so such problems can be quickly rectified as soon as the issue emerges. For up-to-date legal agreements, leave it to our experts!
