Property marketing and advertising are time-consuming processes that can be hard to get right. However, marketing is not free; every mistake you make can be an expensive one. As such, we look to take over the reins on all property marketing needs. Our dependable services include the creation of new listings online and local signage. We also have our photography team snap new images of your building.

This helps us sell the property in the best light possible. Managing your property means finding the best tenants, and we do that through our marketing. We draw attention to your property from the kind of great people you want to rent to. Our exceptional services also include managing all visitation requests and showings and handling the occupant vetting process for successful applicants.

You are likely aware now that property management is not the ‘passive income’ that it was sold as. With the right foundations in place, though, it absolutely can be. We make residential properties a hassle-free investment. Why? Because we take over the full running and management of things. This includes everything from tenant selection to property value growth and maintenance requests from tenants.

We are here all day and all night, too. There is nothing that will be left until the morning. If a tenant calls us looking for immediate help with a problem, we do our best to deliver that. When our clients ask us for insight or financial support in expanding their Fairfield portfolio, we provide it. We are constantly here to help and take on any issues you might need help with, cementing your position for future success.

Commercial and industrial properties are a growing part of the economy here in Fairfield. If you are having a hard time managing commercial properties, you are not alone. Many of our clients come to us because they own commercial property that is very difficult to deal with. They struggle to find the time to manage each task and the entrepreneurial mindset needed to make the necessary decisions.

Well, at Utopia, we have both time and mindset in abundance. We can take over the day-to-day running of things. This includes finding quality renters looking for commercial or industrial property in Fairfield. Then, they are given bespoke help with everything from maintenance requests to property marketing. We help ensure your new partner succeeds so you continue to see the rental income you deserve paid on time. We also handle specialist needs like CAM expense reconciliation and REO management if needed.

If you have ever had to receive eviction guidance in Fairfield before, you will know the pain the wrong tenant can cause. Many of our clients suffer because they hire tenants who are not a good choice. When we are managing your property, we make tenant screening and occupant vetting a major priority for us. Why? Because we believe that tenants need to be selected on a very specific basis to minimize all risk.

The cost of having the wrong tenant is as significant as the savings in picking the best tenants. At Utopia, we ensure that a thorough screening process weeds out the bad eggs in the application process. We also ensure that your property is advertised on our referral list. This maximizes the chance that you will have low vacancy rates and protection from evictions, all the while seeing rent paid on time every month.

The figures behind your property portfolio are so important to keep track of, but it can be a tough balancing act. We see many landlords and property investors end up in a confused rush near tax time. Why? Because they failed to maintain suitable record-keeping. They do not have the record they need of their income and expenditure, and this means a frantic last-second rush come the year-end tax deadline.

We want to help our clients avoid that. As your Fairfield property manager, we make sure that this is dealt with. We provide 100% accurate record-keeping managed by a dedicated team of accounting specialists. This means that you always get accurate figures back and thus total knowledge of what has been spent. As regional property experts, we also adjust your rent rates to match the data analysis of the Fairfield area. We also manage all rent collections, ensuring payments are made through our safe, secure online portal.

To ensure that a property’s value continues to grow, it must be maintained over the years to come. While over one-quarter of Fairfield properties were built in the 2000s, over half were built between the 1970s and 1990s. Maintenance, then, becomes a priority. Maintenance became an essential topic for the 20% + of remaining properties built during the post-war boom until the 1970s began. We also offer move-out inspections on any property, and we make maintaining the property our top priority.

At Utopia, we handle ALL your maintenance needs. Thanks to our in-house maintenance team, we do most of the work ourselves. When we need to hire someone, we provide general contracting services in-house. This means that people are picked out based on their ability to do the job for the best rate without cutting corners. We handle all maintenance requests, whether they arrive in the middle of the night or during ‘open hours’—nobody is left waiting for a solution to a maintenance issue.

If you want to cause yourself a headache, then use a generic lease agreement you find online. Many property investors lack legal knowledge, so they use the first lease agreement they come across online. While this is cheap today, as most are free, trust us when we say this will cost you down the line. What you need is a lease agreement written for your property that is specific to Fairfield’s regulations. At Utopia, we provide that through our in-house legal assistance. We can give you advice on the best way to tackle problems with tenants.

But we also limit your risk of future legal liability by ensuring that the property is protected with a new agreement. This agreement is written in such a way that it should help to quell any disputes or discomfort with tenants. You also get the peace of mind of knowing that your agreement is written for you, applies specifically to you, and leaves nothing uncertain in the minds of tenants. Should an issue arise, rest assured we will resolve that for you.
