Advertising is the ‘secret sauce’ that many Tacoma landlords miss out on. With over 89,000 properties in the city, competition is extremely high.

At Utopia, we can give you all of the help and advice you need to market your property to the right kind of audience. This can be a game-changer, especially if you are struggling to cultivate enough interest. Our advertising experience can be invaluable in drawing interest.

For one, at Utopia Management, we operate one of the most visible rental portals in the state. This means that we draw in a lot of interest from people who might otherwise not check where you usually market. We also create listings on the most popular rental portals in the USA, making sure that interest is widespread. On top of this, we use local advertising to help draw in interest from locals who might be looking to rent property in the city. This mixed marketing methodology produces increased interest and credible results.

Also, we have a team of photographers who can take images of your property to use on your online marketing and listings. All of these property marketing solutions are aimed at delivering consistent results. We also have our in-house referral program, which is a list of people who we have engaged with before and who meet our high standards for tenancy. Therefore, you know that any tenant that we put in place is going to be the perfect choice since we take such a thorough approach to screening any applicants.

Our marketing is proven to work, and with 7-day screenings and an always-active support staff, we answer any queries ASAP. This helps us to ensure that the best choice for tenants does not go elsewhere, ensuring maximum uptake on interest. With Utopia involved, your property is about to become much more in demand!

Residential property is increasingly common in the rental sector, with 44% of people living in Tacoma renting property. The challenge with Tacoma rental property is that the city has been around for a long time. Over a quarter of property was built before the Second World War, and just 15% was built in the 2000s. As such, many residential properties for rent in the city are outdated and in need of repairs, maintenance, and continual care if they are to deliver the kind of rental income you wish to develop.

If you own residential property, you will realize that your list of things to do can be tough to put in place accordingly. You need to be able to maintain the property, put the right tenant in place, draft a legally accurate tenancy agreement, and deal with the financial side of things. These are a range of tasks that can be hard to deal with on your own – why not bring in an expert? At Utopia, we can assist. We have been dealing with residential property management across Tacoma and Washington for years.

We bring the experienced advice and knowledge you need to feel comfortable about your situation. We offer a service that is all about delivering consistent results. By removing your need to be personally involved, too, we make it easier for you to profit without having to take on every task. We manage everything, with a 24/7 liaison team available to contact via call or email. If you or your tenants run into an issue, our team is always available to take your call and assist you with any problem(s) that might arise.

With our management expertise, though, rest assured that you can look forward to that passive income you were promised. We manage everything from the rental rate that your property will bring in to the requirements for property maintenance. Everything is handled by a specialist department that has vast experience in the field. If you want a full-service management service, contact Utopia to get started.

Commercial property is a critical part of Tacoma’s economy, as is the growing number of industrial properties. Retail accounts for 10% of employment history, while manufacturing accounts for around 8%. So, there are lots of economic opportunities available with commercial property in Tacoma. The challenge? Ensuring that the property is looked after correctly and that the tenant you choose is suitable. This is not easy for an individual, but for our team of commercial management experts, we can do so.

Our team has a history of resolving commercial and industrial property challenges. We are used to dealing with property in the commercial and industrial sectors. This means advertising the property, finding the right kind of tenant, and then making sure the tenant’s wishes are adhered to. At the same time, we draft legal tenancy agreements that make it clear what is and is not allowed on your premises. Therefore, any tenant that we put in place knows 100% what they are getting involved with upon arrival.

We also manage all property maintenance and key areas of business, like vendor management, contract arrangement, and expense reconciliation. We handle all specific elements of property management in the commercial and industrial sectors that you might struggle with. We also carry out regular inspections of the property to ensure that the tenant is playing by the rules set out in their agreement. This reduces the risk of a tenant taking liberties and threatening your property’s reputation.

Everything we do is built around making sure that your business can, in effect, run itself. Through thorough tenant screening, detailed input to ensure satisfaction and marketing support, we handle everything you might struggle with. These are some of the most time-consuming tasks of making sure your commercial or industrial enterprise can succeed. Why not pass the challenge on to us and let us generate results?

The secret to a well-run property portfolio in Tacoma is having the right tenant put in place every time. Choosing the right applicant, though, is not easy. While our advertising and property marketing services in Tacoma bring you lots of great candidates, they still have to be verified. Someone still has to make sure they are who they say they are, that their references check out, and that they are 100% genuine. At Utopia, we have a team of in-house specialists who do this on your behalf to reduce your involvement.

We have years of tenancy screening experience. As such, any tenant we look at for you will be someone who has either been recommended via our referral program or who meets our criteria. We then review their application and evaluate every piece of information available. This includes looking closely at their details, credit history, criminal background, and history with rental property. This gives us complete confidence that anyone we put forward is perfectly suited to your property.

This gives us all of the information we need to know about the tenant. Then, we can make sure that we only put forward tenants who are the perfect fit for your property portfolio. We review their rental history, making sure they have a history of being a good tenant. We look for criminal violations and problems in their employment history. Every reference is checked out to ensure that the information provided is genuine. All of this results in a tenancy process that is accurate, thorough, and proven to produce results.

This information goes an extremely long way toward ensuring that your properties are filled with suitable tenants. This is also why Utopia Management boasts an eviction rate of less than 1%. With our Protection Program available, you can ensure that anyone who has to be evicted is dealt with. For a service that negates the typical challenges involved in tenant selection and retention, contact us.

Finances are the major draw of having property to lease out for rent. You can draw a fantastic passive income with the right setup and the right attention paid to portfolio development. At Utopia Management, we understand that finances are both the most important and most time-consuming issue you face. With an accounting team ready to get to work, though, we can resolve this issue on your behalf.

We handle the income and expenditure side of things, as well as collecting all deposits and rent. As such, tenants pay money through our secure online portal. Collections are managed digitally, cutting down on the time deficits that often emerge when making financial payments online. Why does that matter? This reduces cash flow problems, ensuring that your rent is always paid on time.

Since we handle the full process, you no longer have to worry about your finances. We also handle your invoices, bills, collections, and monthly statements. This is delivered to you when required but also is available on demand. Contact our accountancy department, and we will give you all the information you need. Now, you can easily stay on top of the income and expenditure generated.

By letting us handle all of your finances, you will reduce the time you spend dealing with figures on your own. Instead, you can sit back, relax, and let us handle the calculations. We provide you with a simple breakdown of everything so you know exactly what is being generated and what is being spent. This removes some of the most pertinent considerations that emerge for any landlord in Tacoma.

Maintaining property is not an easy task, especially if you are an individual landlord. It is unlikely that you lack the skills to deal with each property maintenance problem yourself. As such, you need to be able to find trusted help in the Tacoma area who can handle property repairs for you. At Utopia, though, we have a team of in-house maintenance experts who handle all of our property maintenance on our behalf.

These are experienced, licensed professionals who have been proven to do the job to a high standard. All of our contractors are insured and undergo regular training to keep them abreast of industry standards. We can cover almost any typical property maintenance in-house without having to involve third parties. If we do have to hire a specialist, though, we can do so on your behalf to avoid you getting involved.

This means hiring a Tacoma service provider who comes with all of the skills and guarantees that you would want. They are professionals who we have worked with before and who come highly recommended for their local reputation. More importantly, though, all of our property maintenance staff handle the hiring, so you do not have to get involved. Rest assured, all work carried out is to our standard.

We regulate the hiring process as we hold a general contractor license so that we can deliver all hiring on your behalf. At the same time, we work with our staff to ensure that only the best people are hired for the best rates, passing on any savings that we get thanks to our reputation to you, reducing your costs.

A property must be regularly inspected to ensure that it meets the expectations of the modern tenant. At Utopia Management, we offer regular property inspections on your behalf. Our in-house inspection team can visit any Tacoma property that you have invested in. These inspections can be invaluable in ensuring that the property is looked after accordingly and that lease agreements are adhered to throughout.

We carry out property inspections before any tenant moves into the property. Thus, we can handle any issues that might cause a tenant to be put off or complain. We handle any structural issues, as well as carry out repairs and checks on all utilities and appliances. Then, when a tenant moves in, you know that the property is in a condition that is completely in line with expectations for you and your tenants.

During tenure, we also carry out scheduled inspections that help us check that the tenancy agreement is being respected. This lets us catch any violations of the agreement, but inspections during tenure also help us spot problems. We can then bring these issues to your attention and come up with a plan of action to have them resolved ASAP. This shows tenants that they are among your main priorities.

After a tenancy agreement ends, we will carry out a full inspection of the property. These property inspections look for any breakage of the lease agreement. If we do find such a breakage of agreed terms, we can hold the tenant liable and ensure the consequences are enforced accordingly.

Leases are one of the most important tools in your arsenal as a landlord. A lease agreement is something that has to be put together to give a tenant a clear idea of what they can and cannot do. Without an explicitly clear legal document, you make it easy for tenants to leave you in a sticky situation. You also need to know that your lease agreements are in line with the most recent Washington property laws.

This is not easy to do on your own, but we can ensure that you get this support when you work with us. By drafting all of your legal agreements, we create complete certainty that your property is 100% safe and secure. This means that all agreements are in line with Washington state law and all federal property laws. Therefore, your property can be rented out easily to anyone who is looking to rent here.

With our team enforcing the agreement and making sure there is full compliance, you have nothing to worry about. We also carry out inspections to make sure that tenants are playing by the rules of the law that was set out in front of them. Therefore, tenants are much more likely to feel comfortable renting from you as nothing is unclear. You also feel more confident as you know your agreements are legally safe.

Having a lease fail to stand up in a court of law can be damaging, as can having unclear lease agreements. At Utopia, though, we can make sure that such a problem does not have to become a problem down the line. With our help and advice, you can avoid the issues other landlords might face.

The legalities of property ownership, especially in a complex state like Washington, can be confusing. If you are worried about ensuring your property portfolio passes legal muster, there are solutions available. At Utopia Management, we make sure that all of your lease agreements are completely in line with the legal requirements of the federal government and the state.

However, we also know that you might have other questions regarding property law. This is a complex part of the legal structure, and understanding that you have applied the law correctly is vital. From applying for new building expansions to dealing with an unhappy situation with a supplier, there are many reasons why you might need legal support. We can recommend a legal professional to contact.

While we make sure that all of your operations with us adhere to Washington and federal law, you might have other questions. We recommend that you contact a legal professional who can give you sound advice on the best way to proceed. No matter how challenging the situation is or how specific it is, we will recommend a legal expert who has a track record in property law. Thus, you can get the answers you seek with ease.

Legal support can be a fantastic solution to have saved for when you need it most. At Utopia, we can give you access to the support you need. While all of our operations are guaranteed to be legally sound, we can help you find third-party legal expertise in Tacoma and beyond should you require it.
