In a place like Eastside, where such a large portion of people are renters, you must be visible. High competition in the area from other property investors means you need to stand out. Doing this on your own is tough, though, unless you have a background in marketing. By hiring Utopia as your Eastside property manager, though, you get access to our rental marketing department. We will then craft a fresh new marketing campaign, using a combination of local marketing and online marketing to success.

We will create new listings online across most of San Jose and California’s most prominent rental portals. This ensures that your property is as visible to as many eyes as possible, making it easier to find the best tenants in the area. Quality renters are hard to locate, but those who come across our marketing and those on our referral list are alerted to your availability. Campaigns are backed up with high-resolution images of your property as well as every detail that potential renters could look for in a new property. This ensures maximum interest levels with minimum effort required on your part to find the best tenants.

It can come as a shock to most property owners when they find out the demands of Eastside rental properties. Are you able to spare the time needed to carry out tenant screening? Can you find the best local contractors to deal with maintenance requests? Are you available constantly to help your tenants with any problems they face? If not, then you need a proven Eastside property manager to do this for you. At Utopia, we can take on the process of managing your property, filling in every gap in your skillset.

The main benefit of our service, aside from our vast experience and proven competence, is our ability to be here. Many property managers only operate during typical opening hours, but we do not. Our team is here day in and day out, even during the early hours of the morning. We manage residential properties, multi-family properties, and commercial properties in the Eastside area. So, whatever kind of home or business you own, we can make sure it is rented out for the best returns while receiving our complete attention.

As an Eastside property owner, you have seen the challenges of finding quality renters first-hand. While Eastside is a fantastic location, suffering from a high rental turnover here is possible simply due to making poor choices. As your property manager, though, we handle the occupant vetting process. Every application that arrives to rent your property is scrutinized closely. This helps us to make sure that the tenants we are dealing with are 100% compatible with the Eastside rental properties that you own.

We guarantee that all tenants we bring to you are a good fit. We evaluate their history as a renter, as well as their personal and professional situation. If we spot red flags such as late payments in the past, poor credit history, or a patchy employment record, we dismiss that applicant. Only when we find what we believe are the best potential renters will we put their name forward as a candidate. This extra attention to detail is a key reason we avoid the typical problems faced by property owners when choosing tenants. We avoid making rushed decisions that could cause you financial harm and distress later.

While financial competence is always striven for, if you lack accountancy skills, record keeping becomes difficult. As a property owner in Eastside, you need a property manager you can trust—someone with a dedicated team who handles just the financial aspects. We have a specialist department that manages all record keeping. Instead of having to self-manage your books, we leave you with easy-to-use monthly statements. These 100% accurate breakdowns leave you with the figures needed for tax returns.

However, we do more than just simplify the record-keeping process. Our team also helps you in dealing with rent collection. We can manage all rent collections via our online tenant portal. Tenants can pay their rent online instead of using outdated offline methods. This secure, in-house payment platform is proven to be the best way to get your Eastside tenants to pay rent on time. Should a tenant fail to pay their rent when they should, receiving their payment – and accruing penalties – becomes our priority.

The most time-consuming aspect of property management in Eastside is maintenance. Property maintenance is needed, but finding contractors you can trust is not easy. You want to avoid hiring someone who makes the problem worse, right? Well, hire us. We have an in-house maintenance team that deals with most of our contractors. As a licensed general contractor, though, we can also bring in the best third-party experts in Eastside. These are proven, experienced professionals who deliver value.

We keep your property in the best condition, dealing with issues either found during inspections or reported by tenants. Work can commence at any time of the day, too, including overnight inspections to evaluate the problem that has been reported. This keeps your property value growing, tenant satisfaction at an all-time high, and profits being generated. Leave the rental maintenance to us, and you can stop worrying about one of the most challenging parts of being a property investor in the Eastside area!

When we speak to property owners in places like Eastside about why they want a property manager, many will state that legal uncertainty is their main reason. Knowing the laws of the city, county, state, and federal government is not easy. That is why our in-house legal assistance looks to deal with all of this for you. Now, instead of having to invest countless hours of your time in legal research, you can leave it to us. You also do not have to take any risks with template lease agreements that risk legal liability.

Instead, hiring us as your property manager means getting access to our legal assistance team. They will craft new legal agreements for your properties, which protect all parties as closely as they can. We regularly review the laws around property, too, so we can make sure that the correct laws and regulations protect your property. Not only do we deal with this, but we deliver and, if needed, enforce the agreement. Should your tenants have any problems, they come to us instead of bothering you during your day-to-day life.
