Have you ever tried to manage a property in Sawtelle’s marketing? You will have seen the quality of your competition. This is one of the most competitive neighborhoods in LA to try to create success within. People with significant budgets indeed manage most properties here. If you try to manage your marketing by yourself, you might be disappointed at the quality of results that you can produce. However, you do not have to market your property alone: you can leave it in the hands of our experts!

With Utopia’s marketing division involved, though, results will improve rapidly. We develop intriguing-looking property marketing listings, which are then hosted on the top property rental sites in the state. This generates as much interest as we can for your property portfolio. New listings are made from scratch, with new photographs taken by our marketing team to really make your property shine off the page. When someone declares their interest, we will handle all discussions and viewing requirements.

Properties are like people: they might have similar traits, but they are all different. When you factor in that so many properties in Sawtelle were built 50+ years ago, too, many have their quirks and features. It is vital, then, that your property manager in Sawtelle can successfully adjust to fit the specific needs of each building. At Utopia, our management process is adaptable and flexible, so we can adjust as needed. Any property under our control is given specific focus to ensure its requirements are met.

Regardless of the specific issues we find, though, all properties are given the same round-the-clock care. When a tenant has a problem they need to report, they do not have to wait until our offices open. We are here to take calls and emails at any time of the day. As such, properties are carefully managed and given the care needed no matter the problem faced. Do you own commercial or industrial property in Sawtelle? Then we can manage that too, using our entrepreneurial-minded managers to build profits over the future.

A tenant has to be chosen very carefully, lest you want to end up in a time-consuming and costly legal battle. Evictions are not easy to arrange and often result in many hours in the presence of a legal rep. We want to avoid that. So, we will deal with the tenant selection process on behalf of all of our clients. This means you benefit from the forensic examination process we use. When screening tenants, every feature of their personality is reviewed closely. This lets us make sure they fit our very high standards and needs.

Why does that matter? We want to avoid, where possible, putting the wrong tenant in place. We have seen first-hand the damage that a rushed decision can cause and the negative consequences it can create. So, we screen every tenant as closely as we can to verify that they are who they say they are. This verification process creates trust and helps us guarantee that tenants have been thoroughly evaluated. This focus is why less than one percent of our tenant recommendations are evicted before the tenancy ends.

The figures involved in managing a property are not something to be looked at lightly. While it can be a headache to lose valuable hours tackling figures, accuracy is essential for two reasons. First, you want to know easily what your property costs versus how much it generates. Two, you need to have a clear, accurate set of figures to use when it comes to your tax returns. Are you sick of messing around with all of your figures alone? Then leave the accounting to our eagle-eyed finance department to deal with it instead!

We manage all of our client’s accounts so they can avoid the hours per month spent totting up figures. Now, you can get back to simply seeing the rental payment arriving in your bank account. We handle all of the figures, so you have a simple statement to refer to at the end of the month and year. Additionally, we will deal with any financial management needs you have in terms of collecting rental payments. This is all handled online, too, so we ensure that payments go through and are secured through our payment channel. We also can provide support with financing future Sawtelle investments if you need assistance.

While properties in Sawtelle are beautiful, they often need at least some form of regular property maintenance. It is easy to leave a property that was built in the 1970s to fall into disrepair without even meaning it. Our job at Utopia is to be the attentive party needed to help ensure that such problems do not arise. We maintain the property on your behalf so it can avoid any of the usual headaches with repairs. This means problems are caught early and corrected fairly, and thus, maintenance costs are kept to a minimum.

When our inspection team discovers a problem, we make a note of it so we can begin maintenance ASAP. Should a tenant call us in the middle of the evening or the AM with a problem, we have it fixed right away. This prompt maintenance, all handled by local contractors or the Utopia Maintenance team, delivers peace of mind. You know that the work has been carried out by professionals in the field who can be trusted. Crucially, you also know that work is guaranteed and delivered by insured professionals.

A lease is not something that you should take lightly. At the same time, it might seem like a quick and easy document to put together, but a vague lease can cause very specific problems down the line. We want you to be able to avoid the risk of having a lease put in place that is not fit for purpose. To that end, we use a lease-writing service that creates an agreement perfectly suited to your needs. This avoids any needless headaches.

We have seen many of our clients suffer from legal liability due to not being protected by an agreement. They either used a basic agreement found online or wrote the agreement themselves. Either way, this is not going to be suitable. Leases have to be accurate, easily understood, and, crucially, in line with current laws. We can create a new agreement or adapt current agreements to fit this requirement.

Now, you can be far more confident that your property is enshrined in the protections an agreement should offer. No more fretting about a legal dispute as you know your agreement and our management practices will protect you as needed!
