Property advertising has to be very carefully considered, and to start, we will evaluate everything that is missing from your current marketing approach. Our primary focus is to create rental listings on the most prominent websites in America for rental properties. Locations such as Homes.com, Zumper, Trulia, and Condo.com will see your rental properties advertised backed by SEO-optimized writing and professional photography. We make sure that everything that potential renters need to know is stated loud and clear.

Once we have created listings, we advertise them across every medium we can find. Our work will bring in a much larger potential audience of tenants to choose from. Instead of having to worry about filling vacancies with any old renter, we encourage the great tenants in the area to look at your rental properties. Once we find the perfect fit, we manage the application and screening process for you.

With quality renters now in place, we make sure that your property gets a fresh property management process. Our team will look at what has to change from what you are currently doing so we can help limit the risk and alleviate the stress. At the same time, we evaluate every issue you might need to overcome so we can be prepared. When a tenant calls us with maintenance requests in the middle of the night, we are prepared. Our 24/7 service becomes invaluable for landlords who want to lighten the load.

We ensure that your properties get the kind of tailor-made management they need. While over 60% of Blaine properties are single-family residential properties, over 23% of alternatives are multi-family properties. We can manage everything from your apartments and households to warehouses, logistics firms, and any other rental properties you might have invested in, regardless of their age or condition.

When you leave tenant screening to Utopia, you are working with a Blaine property manager with a near-perfect score on tenant retention. In over thirty years, we have evicted less than one percent of tenants that we recommend. Why is our rate for evictions so low? Because our team provides the needed attention to detail in the application process. We do not just choose any old tenants; we choose the best people who apply. Thanks to our marketing support, there will be more potential renters than before.

We then take care of all management of the rental process, focusing on tenant retention. Since we have a great track record of finding the best people for you, we make sure that we can prolong their tenancy for as long as possible. Given the city’s higher vacancy rates, we find the best people and then give them every incentive to stick around for as long as possible. Let us create happy, lasting tenancies on your behalf.

As your property manager, we wear many masks and deal with many issues you might be used to handling alone. One such issue that we take on is the management of any financial protocols. For example, we handle all monthly reporting, breaking down your costs and profits into easy-to-read monthly statements. They are provided via our online portal, so you can request access whenever or wherever you are.

We also take care of your rent collection process. Our team guarantees that rent is paid when it should be. Not only do we find great tenants with a track record of paying rent when they should, but we pass the payment on to you promptly. Let us alleviate cash flow problems that might have emerged in the past by first improving the rental process and then ensuring rent is paid using a secure, always-online system.

Among our many other key tasks as your property manager in Blaine is our property maintenance. While we have an in-house team of maintenance professionals who handle most of our work, we also have a great list of contacts across Blaine and Bellingham. We find professionals who can handle the work needed ASAP; if we have to outsource emergency repairs, rest assured we pick excellent people for you.

Our team will handle the maintenance side of things, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Not only will we reduce the risk of property management costing more than it should, but we will also find you the best deals on maintenance costs, materials, and more. Our team will carry out any inspections needed to help define the necessary scale of work and then provide you with a cost-effective estimate.

As soon as you give us the go-ahead, we can carry out any maintenance and renovation work required to improve conditions. Given the varied age of rental properties, every property requires an individual analysis. The Utopia maintenance crew will carry out that analysis so you know exactly where you stand.

Staying ahead of your regulatory requirements as a landlord is not easy, but it is essential. At Utopia, we never want to see our clients face litigation and legal liability accusations. So, we make sure that every rental agreement you have is accurate and 100% in line with the law of the moment. We create easy-to-follow lease contracts that are written from scratch so they cover your property in full.

Our team will take the time to look at every regulation at the local, state, and federal levels. Then, we draft new agreements, which we can guarantee are 100% up to date. As soon as the law changes in any way, our team will update your agreements accordingly. We then handle the delivery and execution of your lease agreements. Should tenants break the deal in any way, we manage the penalties process. We create a disciplined lease control process that ensures everyone knows where they stand.
