If you want to cause yourself a headache as a property owner in Santa Maria, pick the wrong tenant. Eviction management does not come cheap; the collateral damage to your property and your reputation can be hard to stomach. To help avoid those problems, we deal with the occupant vetting. As your new property manager, we will endeavor only to recommend tenants who we know pass our application. Each application is thorough in its line of questioning, so we can guarantee that only the best meets our standards.
This matters greatly to us as we want to ensure that properties receive the care they need. We pick tenants who have a history of paying rent on time and adhering to all agreements stipulated upon their arrival. With an accuracy rating of over 99%, we almost never need to provide our clients with eviction guidance. What we do promise, though, is comprehensive support throughout. Once we find a tenant who meets our expectations, we incentivize their long-term stay to lock in low vacancy rates.

Financial Management in Santa Maria, CA
Staying on top of the figures behind your investment property is a boring but essential exercise. We know of many property owners who fail to do this properly, though, instead relying on estimates or failing to research properly. This can lead to both missed expenses and profits, which can either heighten your tax burden or leave you with a messy dispute with the tax authorities. Naturally, we want to avoid this.
So, leave us to handle all record keeping on your finances. Not only do we ensure that records are kept in monthly statements, but we also handle the settling of invoices and other associated management tasks. We also handle your rent collection process. Rent and deposits are paid to us and stored safely. This limits cash flow risks, negates late payment problems, and ensures rent is paid on time.

Property Maintenance in Santa Maria, CA
A failure to maintain your rental properties in Santa Maria is a surefire way to ask for trouble. We see many of our clients fail to maintain buildings, which then becomes a concern for their financials. It is our job, as your Santa Maria property management company, to resolve all maintenance requests ASAP. Since we work outside of a typical office hours schedule, we can attend to emergency issues faster. This means that problems that might have waited until morning with another property manager are handled now.
Why does this matter? For one, it keeps the cost of damage down. Treatment and solutions are immediate, limiting the risk of the problem continuing needlessly. Crucially, tenants also feel more cared for and respected as we address their maintenance issues right away. With an in-house maintenance team who do most of our work, we can resolve almost any issue that arises without worry. At the same time, though, we are a licensed general contractor, so we can hire trusted experts if needed.

Lease Control in Santa Maria, CA
Ask any property owner what their first fear is, and it will likely be a legal liability. Being a landlord means accepting that things can go wrong, and those problems could lead to legal problems. As your chosen property manager in Santa Maria, we must make sure that such problems do not occur for you. To ward off legal liability, we offer a lease control service and in-house legal assistance.
This assistance can give you advice on what to do should a legal headache emerge. However, we look to preempt such problems by putting in place a completely agreeable lease. Not only do we take the time to make sure that the lease agreement is in line with the law, but we also make sure that any specific clauses you want, such as no-smoking rules, are put in place without rubbing up against the laws of the city or state. This protects you from risky legal problems but also helps to create clear boundaries for tenants.

Your account reserve is an amount of money that is held in Utopia Management’s trust account for issues that might arise on your property. The reserve account is typically funded by the initial payments made by the tenant. The reserve is kept so that owners don’t have to send emergency money to fund repairs or other issues on their property.
How do you determine what my property should rent for?
Utopia has a business development manager that will come out to your property to evaluate how much your property should rent for and what needs to be done to get the desired rent at no cost to you.
