Our team will look closely at all advertising and property marketing needs your property has.

This might, for example, involve creating new local signage or online listings to highlight your property. New images might need to be taken that show your property in the most favorable light. Whatever is needed, we will deliver. That is our promise to you. Our advertising service boosts visibility and gains more interest, both from our referral list and organic search traffic. Before long, interested parties will be communicating with us to become the next lucky tenant of one of your Westlake properties!

Residential properties make up the majority of Westlake’s property ownership portfolio. If you are looking to buy property here, then you will find many quality homes to consider. While most buildings in the city are apartment buildings, there are a growing number of family homes. Since most of the available real estate in the city was converted from old-school mansions, apartment buildings are the most prolific.

Hire Utopia, and you get to work with a property management service that handles the whole rental process. By this, we mean that we will find you a tenant, secure their long-term arrangement via a tenancy agreement, and be always here. You do not have to worry about being bothered while you are on holiday; we handle everything, including any emergency maintenance requests that arrive. Thus, your properties stay occupied, tenants stay happy, and you continue to earn that rental income you have earned. Our careful, caring management will ensure that all parties are happy with the result.

Westlake is a very popular commercial location within the city, making it a great place for commercial investors. If you have a commercial property in Westlake, it is likely to be a restaurant, bar, retail store, or hospitality venue. Regardless of its purpose, though, you can trust Utopia to be your property manager. We will take on the full day-to-day running, including finding the best long-term partner for your property.

We find a vendor who has a track record of being a successful partner in their commercial ventures. Once evaluated and in place with a lease agreement, we are always there to serve that tenant. We take the time to look closely at their needs, including offering emergency maintenance requests. This guarantees that your commercial properties turn over a nice income and do not suffer from the high vacancy rates—over 6.5%—found in Westlake. We also handle bespoke issues specific to each industry.

As a property owner in Westlake, you have no doubt heard of the troublesome stories that exist in rental properties. Many property investors have had to undergo major renovations as they choose destructive tenants. These people damage the property and ruin its condition, creating expensive—even litigious—conditions to handle. At Utopia, we want to remove that from your plate. That is why we pay specific attention to detail during the occupant vetting process. As your property manager, we make smart choices.

We will review every detail about the tenant so that we know they are as close to a sure thing as possible. Our team will evaluate every piece of information that we have and verify and double-check all references. This lets us make sure that this person is a good fit for any residential or commercial properties you have for rent. Given that less than 1% of our choices get evicted, we make sure you have one less thing to worry about.

As a busy individual, you do not have the time to commit to financial reporting. However, it makes your life much easier when it comes to your tax returns, right? Well, leave that to us. We offer a service specifically for fiscal management. This means recording keeping of all income and expenditure earned by your rental properties under our control. This also includes all management and maintenance fees. Instead of complicated spreadsheets, everything is broken down into easy-to-understand terms.

We also handle all financial management processes outside of this. For example, we can settle invoice payments for contractors and specialists we hire on your behalf. We can also handle all rent collection. Any rent that you accrue will be paid to us through our secure, safe, and simple online portal. Tenants have no excuse not to make payments on time, easing cash flow while maximizing rental returns. Given Westlake properties have an average rental price of around $2,200, that is a nice profit each month!

Maintaining property is a key part of being a landlord in Westlake. Given that Westlake’s properties are among the top 12% in the country, protecting your property value becomes a priority. Add in the historical nature of many of Westlake’s properties, and you will face some challenges. Many of the old-school mansions that make up the residential properties in Westlake were converted into apartments long ago.

This means that having a property manager who can deal with rental maintenance becomes very valuable. We tackle all these issues for you. Thanks to an in-house maintenance team who can step in and resolve any matters, we make sure your properties are given the due care they deserve. We also offer in-house general contracting services, so we can hire experts if we need to bring in additional help. Rest assured, though, that your Westlake investment property will be maintained as needed from here on.

Leases are a vital part of the property management process, especially in Westlake. As your property manager, we handle all your lease-writing requirements. Our team will research the area closely to ensure that our agreements comply with the local laws. At the same time, we will inspect all your requirements, such as no-pet clauses and similar help.

This gives you the peace of mind you need to know that your property is legally protected. Not only does this shield you from most legal liability risks as a property owner, but it protects all parties involved. If your tenant breaks their lease agreement, then we can make them responsible as required. We also provide in-house legal assistance so you can get definitive answers to any potential legal struggles you face.
