The first thing that your rental properties need is a new focus when it comes to rental marketing. In a city like Bell Gardens, where over 80% of people are renting, you need to be visible; otherwise, you will soon be left behind by your extensive competition. So, we sit down with you to understand what your properties bring to the table and what your ambitions are. We also analyze your competition within the local area.

Then, we create exciting, modern listings that are informative, detailed, and easy to read. We distribute these listings across California and Los Angeles County’s most prominent rental networks. We use a professional department to take new photos, too, showing potential tenants what makes your Bell Gardens properties such an enticing place to rent. We even handle viewings and applications.

While the majority of residential properties in Bell Gardens are single-family households and townhomes, things are changing. Multi-family properties now account for over one-fifth of the rental properties in Bell Gardens. As mentioned, rental competition here is significant; you need a property manager who can get you ahead of the competition. You need support to find great tenants and then help to retain them, right?

Well, at Utopia, that is what we offer – and then some. We provide comprehensive services for all residential properties. Once quality tenants are in place, we offer them the kind of 24/7 support network they need to feel safe and satisfied. We provide comprehensive coverage to help landlords and tenants know they only need to contact us if they ever need help. Leave the stressful side of management to us!

Commercial properties are mostly found within the city center of Bell Gardens, but we can manage any of your commercial outlets. From eateries and retail stores to medical practices and even factories, we can take on anything you own within the boundaries of Bell Gardens and the surrounding LA County area. Once you hire us, your commercial properties are given the dedicated, entrepreneurially-minded support they need. We include CAM expense reconciliation and REO management as part of this service, too!

Among the many tasks rental property owners have to deal with is selecting quality tenants. With such a wide rental audience in Bell Gardens, it feels easy just to pick any old renter. As your property manager, though, we make sure that you are not saddled with troublesome tenants who cause more harm than good. We find that you are a great tenant who has passed our extensive tenant screening phase.

Our occupant vetting is designed to catch any proverbial flies in the ointment before a tenant is given the keys, not after. Finding a new tenant is easy; finding the best tenants takes time, patience, and attention to detail. We make sure that you benefit from a thorough tenant screening process that boasts a 99%+ retention rate. Evictions are a rarity for us as our due diligence helps us to avoid this regrettable situation. Every detail is analyzed so we can be as certain as a property manager can about each applicant.

There are so many tasks involved in property ownership that we understand it is easy for financial record keeping to slip the net. In a city like Bell Gardens, though, it is important that you can avoid this issue. After all, the monthly statements we provide not only give you a clear indicator of how successful your rental properties are but also make your year-end tax returns far less stressful than they are without records.

Rather than having to turn those Sunday nights into ‘spreadsheet Sunday,’ leave the record-keeping to us. Our in-house accountancy department will make sure that everything is recorded with 100% accuracy. Every decimal is in the right place, every contractor that has been hired is recorded, and every rent payment is noted down. We even handle rent collection so you can avoid those challenging chase-downs of tenants who have not paid their rent on time. If you want certainty that rent is paid, leave it to us!

Maintaining rental properties is not easy, especially in a city like Bell Gardens. It can be tough to find the right contractors, and hiring the wrong contractor can lead to more harm than good. To avoid such a stressful situation, leave all rental maintenance to us. As your Bell Gardens property manager, we will handle all repairs. Our in-house maintenance staff will handle the majority of the work carried out here.

However, as a licensed general contractor, we can also initiate the hiring process should a third party be required. We oversee and manage every project regardless, and we also make sure that maintenance is never put off. 24/7 support means help for emergencies, so if a tenant calls you with a problem like a burst pipe or a broken window, we can have someone on-site to analyze, review, and correct the issue. We also minimize downtime and reduce vacancies, so rental income continues to arrive from happy tenants.

The list of tasks and obligations that a Bell Gardens property manager needs to abide by can be, in many ways, exhausting.

Should any laws change in Los Angeles County, California, or nationwide decree, we will adjust your contracts accordingly. Let us protect you from the risk of potential liability in a legal sense.
