I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about using Utopia's services after reading all the crazy reviews on Yelp. But , and sometimes to my own detriment, I am a ""need to judge for myself"" kind of person. So I signed up with them and handed over my condo. The whole process was pretty painless. They cleaned up my condo and got it ready for the new tenants. That ended up being a relief since I was trying to move my own family. ( The only thing I wasn't expecting was that there are a lot of things that tenants expect from landlords. I didn't think my home needed to be painted, but the management company encouraged me to do so. They were right....) Anyway, they put a great family in my home in just about 4 weeks and it has been smooth sailing since then. The maintenance coordinator is very helpful and my manager, though not always in her office, is very knowledgeable and responsive to my calls and e-mails. So, yep, I am a fan! I would personally recommend them to my friends.
