The advertising side of things can be confusing, especially given your competition’s budgets. At Utopia, though, we have a dedicated team of marketing staff who deal with every part of the marketing campaign to come. This includes local signage to draw interest from local parties and access to our referral list. We also create new online listings on our UtopiaManagement.com portal.

This brings in organic interest from people looking to become tenants in Fairfax. Not only are they given all the information they need about the property, but we also make communication quick and simple. As soon as someone declares their interest in the property, our communications department will ensure they are given all the information they need. We then handle all correspondence, including arranging viewings of the property. The best applicants who apply for tenancy then go through our occupant vetting process.

The constant availability needed to be a property manager can be hard to find, even in a small town like Fairfax. You have other business and personal commitments and do not have the time to take on the multiple challenges you might face. At Utopia, though, we have a dedicated team of property staff who deal with every issue. This means any issues that a tenant has can be sent directly to our team.

This includes issues like out-of-hours maintenance requests. Given the significant age of all property in Fairfax, this is more common than you would hope. However, at least you now know that tenants are being given dedicated, professional support for any issue(s) they face. At the same time, though, we make sure that everything is in place so that rent is paid and properties remain occupied. With one in ten properties in Fairfax vacant, we do everything possible to avoid that fate for your portfolio.

Picking the right tenant can be the difference between a harmonious experience and a headache. At Utopia, we provide all Fairfax property owners with the help they need. As your property manager, we make sure that no red flags slip past our occupant vetting process. This means that we analyze everyone, giving their application the interrogation needed to help spot any potential problems.

One issue that we often find as a property manager is that our clients have chosen in haste. While we provide eviction guidance, we look to avoid this problem in the first place. With a thorough review of any information that we receive about the individual, we make sure they are a renter who can be trusted. This means that you have peace of mind knowing that our recommended tenants come with a near guarantee of being good citizens. In fact, we have a 99-percent-plus retention rate for our chosen tenants in Fairfax!

Finances are the key reason anyone would invest in rental properties in Fairfax. With the average rent being so high here, there is potential to make a lot of money from your investment. At Utopia, though, we know that record-keeping is a time-consuming task. Without accountancy experience, too, you run the risk of making mistakes on the financial records you keep. Why not leave it to our accounting department?

Our accountants are specialists in accuracy, making sure every decimal is in the right place and every dollar spent or earned is accounted for. Instead of losing hours each month trying to account for everything, we do it for you. This means that you simply get to pick up easy-to-read monthly statements instead. Now, you know exactly what you have earned and what was spent to keep your property on the right path to success. We also handle all rent collection and payment security through our tenant portal. All payments for rent and security deposits are made online, removing excuses and security risks.

If you own property in Fairfax, you will be aware of how opulent and beautiful it is. However, the age of the property means that any building in Fairfax is likely to need some rental maintenance. When a problem emerges, though, you need someone you can trust to do the work. Instead of trying to do the work yourself or hiring a contractor you have no experience with, leave all your rent maintenance to us.

Hiring Utopia as your Fairfax property manager means getting access to our in-house maintenance team. Not only that, but we have excellent contacts in and near Fairfax for rental maintenance hiring. As a licensed general contractor, we handle the negotiation and hiring process. This ensures that only the best in the business are brought in while at the same time ensuring they do the job required for the fairest rates. This keeps maintenance costs down, tenant satisfaction high, and your property value growing. Does that not sound much easier than trying to find suitable contractors based on reviews alone?

Given the high monthly cost of rental properties in Fairfax, tenants tend to have lofty expectations. If those expectations are not met, you could find yourself in a time-consuming, expensive dispute. To help limit the risk of that, we offer in-house legal assistance to help navigate any of these thorny issues. We can also produce lease agreements written specifically for any rental properties in Fairfax you own.

Our team can then ensure that your potential legal liability is limited. We are also here to offer you advice on any disputes, making sure that an amicable agreement can be found. If a tenant has broken their provided lease agreement, we can implement the required penalties. Should a tenant fail to adhere to those penalties, we can also provide eviction assistance to free the property up. This allows us to find someone who might be a more suitable choice for your property in the future.
