The Utopia property management team in Palm desert/ Palm Springs area really helped us find a new home. We are very happy with the service and the support we have received since we moved into our new place. Special shout out to Steve of the Utopia maintenance department, and Brandon who completed the tasks clean efficiently. They have been very quick to help with when we need some support! In the beginning, we were helped by Megan who walked us through the application process very easily and patiently. We had been living in the same home for 23 years, and she made this new process very easy for us. We want to thank Melina for the tour she assisted in and her wonderful personality that was very welcoming as we begin a new living experience in a wonderful building. The whole team has been wonderful and we thank you very much. ~ Marston a
I would like to recommend Utopia for the overall improvement in their services. They were OK before but now I would like to commend them. I believe they have a new management and I notice how fast they respond to your needs. Before, I felt hesitant to call to ask for service because they will tell you that you that it was your fault, and after a sermon they blame you for the reason you were calling for. Also, their maintenance people also improved. Before, they will send you drunk people that were also very lazy. I had a gentleman this week that installed a new toilet and can not tell how efficient, responsible, courteous he was, he was in our house before, I am sorry that I forgot his name. THANK YOU VERY MUCH UTOPIA, I AM GLAD THAT YOU CHANGED YOUR MODUS OPERANDI . WE HAD BEEN THEIR TENANTS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS. ~ Juan A
This property management company is the ABSOLUTE best! From reception, to the wait time in between extensions, from sounding eager and happy to help, to the actual help you receive! I have rented from Miss Cathy Barraco and was ABSOLUTELY thrilled with her professionalism, diligence, and overall outstanding ethic to help me and family out in every way. From finding the right fit for me, from handling any maintenance that needed to be done, to being excellent in every area that a property manager should be! I give Miss Barraco the HIGHEST form of praise and gratitude. I STRONGLY recommend working with her to find your next home! She will take the BEST care with you! ~ Jeremy M

My regular experiences with your company have been very very good, Steve in your maintenance department is a wonderful guy, he takes care of everything, every problem I have, I’m very grateful, my only problem now is I’ve been without air conditioning for the last week and it looks like it’s gonna be a month or so before I can get the replacement part put in, they brought a portable unit for my bedroom, but the rest of my apartments is around 95°+ every day, I can cook eggs on my countertop, so if there’s anything you can do to rush that part along, I’ll be very grateful, thank you. ~ Thomas B
Utopia Management was amazing when it came to fixing my A/C and microwave.after a crazy power outage that caused my WiFi to go out, my microwave to go out, and my air conditioning to go out. They had to order parts to fix my air conditioning so they set me up with a portable air conditioner in the meantime time. Then they came within days to fix the air conditioner took the portable and replaced the microwave the next day after I put in the maintenance request! Very good maintenance company very good management business! ~ Chai W
We have been renting through Cathy Barranco (Desert Properties and now Utopia Management) for the past six years and we have been extremely happy with her reliable service. She has always been responsive to our needs and has always handled any problems that have arisen quickly and efficiently. She is professional, knowledgable, and caring, always willing to go the extra mile for my family and me. I would highly recommend Cathy and her team at Utopia to anyone looking for an excellent rental experience. ~ Luis C
We have had the pleasure of working with Utopia Management Property,Manager Cathy Barranco. and can honestly say that she is one of the most responsive managers that we have had the opportunity to deal with. She takes pride in her work duties and completes everything with a smile on her face. She really is "top notch" in my world when I have the problem in my duplex, she’s always there. That’s why I could say she’s the best thank you Cathy Barranco. Utopia Management,,, ~ Junior R
I’ve been in this particular apartment that Utopia rents to me. I am very satisfied whenever I need something taken care of. They get to it right away. Very much appreciated. I asked him to fix quite a few things. The maintenance guy came and completed them all within the same day. I’ve been here quite number years and the stove was getting quite old. They replaced it. I’m very pleased. i’m so grateful that when I put in for Maintance, they always follow through ~ Herma P

I am very pleased with the quality of care they provide to the property. Overall, I'm incredibly grateful for their hard work. ~ Michael P
I have only been with UTOPIA since January 1st, when they purchased the previous management company I was with. So far, it has been a very positive experience. But, the only reason I am with UTOPIA is Cathy Barranco. Cathy has managed my properties, in Cathedral City, for more than 24 years. She has moved to other management companies through the years, and I have learned to take her advice. I trust her judgement completely. With Cathy, I know I am in good hands. ~ Ruben C
Utopia property management did an amazing job in getting us in to our rental property. They made sure the process was quick and effortless for us. Since we've been in our home, they have continued to show professionalism with great communication. Utopia Management always stays on top of the required maintenance schedule of the property. We could not be happier with our experience of renting through them. We would highly recommend Utopia Management to anyone currently looking for a residence. ~ James G
Cathy Barranco realmente excelente siempre que ocupamos cualquier cosa o problema de la propiedad ella siempre atenta en ayudarnos estamos muy agradecidos mi familia y yo la recomendamos muy amable Cathy gracias ~ OmarTheWarrior 4
Irene was such a pleasure to work with! She was professional and knowledgeable of the current market! She helped my family purchase our home and made the entire process run smoothly. She was available for call and made an appointment for any homes we wanted to tour. I definitely recommend Irene to any future home buyers! She holds the keys to future happiness in your new home. Leslie assisted her from time to time as well. ~ Erika S
Leslie Solares, showed my wife and I two properties that were in our demographic area and in our budget. We signed a lease within a few days of making our decision with the help and guidance of Leslie. This individual took the time to return calls after hours and when she was under the weather. For a young lady she demonstrates qualities that older adults in the real estate business should have learned. Stephen Priest ~ Stephen P
I can't think of a better place to have an apartment home managed by Utopia than where I am at in Palm Springs, California. From my initial experience with the representative who answered my very first phone call to their Palm Desert, to present everyone has been professional and courteous to me every step of the way. You typically don't see the level of personal attention to details offered by many other companies the size of this one. But they are very understanding and willing to make sure the entire rental experience is the very best it can be. I enthusiastically recommend Utopia Property Management to anyone who is looking for their next property dwelling experience and also for those folks who are seeking a stellar company to manage property you own. A gentleman I know uses Utopia in the Coachella Valley for several buildings he owns, and he is very happy with their management skills. Bottom line - Utopia Management has proven, thus far, to be an excellent company to consider whether you're a renter or property owner. Their website has more information and is packed with an abundance of great listings in many areas. ~ Dusty J
I enjoy being a tenant of Utopia, and blessed to have Cathy Barranco as a landlord. She is attentive, professional, responsible and caring person. I was going through some hardship during Covid she gave me the lead. The lead was a blessing they helped me pay for my rent. I have been a renter for more then 10 years great customer service and highly recommend Utopia. ~ Raquel H
I like Utopia as they helped me immensely while I was overseas and unable to be present in USA to manage my property. They kept me informed and helped me troubleshoot enabling me to keep things running ok while I was not local nor able to do things myself. Their vendor knowledge is extremely helpful too as they are the locals in the area. Well done. ~ William G

Tenants appreciate the communication, and owners see the difference in property care, reviews, and retention rates. ~ imac16 c
Utopia Property Management has made renting a breeze! The staff is professional, friendly, and always available to help.
