The advertising side of things sounds easy, but the reality is far more complex. When you factor in that many of your rivals in Sherman Oaks are experienced property managers, too, the reality is very different from what most expect. Are you having a hard time building up the level of interest you would have wanted in your property portfolio? Then, you can benefit from our astute marketing approach. We have built up a system that helps to ensure all of our client’s property portfolios are as visible as possible.

We use a dedicated approach to our marketing that focuses on creating interest through online rentals. While we also use local signage to draw interest from nearby, our primary focus is on the internet. This means that we create detailed online listings with new photographs and informative details. This gives anyone who is considering making an offer on the property all the information they need. When the interest begins to flow, we handle all discussions and arrange showings for each individual.

There are various aspects involved in managing property, and at Utopia, we cover each of them. We understand that it can be hard to juggle the various tasks involved, and it can soon eat into your personal time. Many of our clients come to us because they want to enjoy some freedom and not be involved in the constant minutiae of property management. It can be hard to manage this on your own, which is why our help can be so invaluable. Rest assured that whatever the issue is, we have a solution that works well.

Picking the right person to be a tenant is so important to making sure that properties essentially run themselves. The right tenant will be amicable when any issues arise, who has no concerns about damaging the property or breaking their agreement, and who pays their rent on time. We have a specialist team who have a knack for finding people who fit in with this very particular description. This allows us to make sure that any tenant we put in place is someone with a proven track record.

Our team focuses on the selection process using strict criteria. We evaluate everything about the person, from their current financial situation and profession to their rental history. We even review their rental and criminal history, and any references they provide are given a thorough inspection. All of this helps us set standards that help guarantee that tenants are chosen based on their quality as much as their history. With such a thorough analysis, we see over 99% of our tenants stick around for their tenure.

Finances are not something to ignore, as staying on top of your income and expenditure is vital. Not only can this help you to know just how much is being spent versus generated, but it is essential for your year-end taxes. However, we make sure that all financial management matters are handled in-house. With a team that manages everything from rent analysis to collecting payments and dealing with invoices, we take care of one of the most vital tasks on the property owner’s to-do list. Now, you can shut down that spreadsheet!

We tackle the accounting side of things, delivering easy-to-read and easy-to-follow statements. These give a clear understanding of spending versus earning, breaking everything down into simple statements. Not only does this give you a clearer financial picture, but it guarantees that your year-end tax returns are less timely. From avoiding late rent payments to making taxation less time-consuming, let us handle your finances.

The easiest way to harm your reputation as a property investor or landlord in Sherman Oaks is to fail to address maintenance needs. Properties in this area are so beautiful that they stand out a mile away when something is wrong. When your tenants report a problem, they want it to be dealt with post-haste. Do you have the contacts to make sure that this is the case? If not, it might be wise to contact Utopia. By leaving maintenance to us, we can ensure that contractors are on hand to deal with issues now and in the future.

Listen, the most important part of being a property manager is addressing tenant concerns. Nothing is more concerning than a tenant who complains of a dripping roof or a broken boiler. Even with the high value of properties in Sherman Oaks, typical problems like this can still emerge. Through our dedicated maintenance crew or local contractors, we make sure all issues are fixed right away. This guarantees that properties are kept in perfectly suitable conditions to ensure tenants stay happy.

A lease is one of the most important documents that you will ever have to create. Many think that a lease agreement can be a short, simple document that covers only the basics. No, a lease agreement must be both thorough and easily understood. It has to apply to all property laws in California, and it should be updated as soon as new laws come into place. This ensures all agreements fit in with state regulations.

Are you having a hard time writing a lease or enforcing it? Leave it to us. We can have the lease written, prepared, delivered, and then enforced. When a tenant breaks the agreement, we ensure that the agreed penalties are put into place ASAP. Not only does this reduce your need to get involved in ugly disputes with a tenant, but our lease agreements protect you from potential liability problems now and in the future. Limit the risk and improve the ease of understanding of any agreement you happen to have in place.
