Property Management in Eden Utah

Downtown Eden in Weber County, Utah

The picturesque community of Eden is located in unincorporated Weber County, between the North Fork and the Middle Fork of the Ogden River, in Ogden Valley. The population was only 600 as of the 2010 census, but some sources cite it as approximately 3,500 now. Eden is a quiet, small town with one grocery store, a post office, a few restaurants, a gas station, and magnificent mountain views. The first home was built in the area in 1857, and a community was established in 1859. According to rumor, a government surveyor thought the area was one of the most beautiful he’d seen and suggested the name “Eden” from the Bible. Neighboring communities include Huntsville and Liberty. Year-round outdoor recreation is easily accessible. Pineview Reservoir, just south of Eden, is well-known for fishing, boating, camping, hiking, horseback riding, hunting, picnicking, water sports, and winter sports. Fantastic golfing with breathtaking views is available at Wolf Creek Golf Course, and skiers and snowboards have their pick of resorts. Powder Mountain is especially popular for fantastic night skiing; Wolf Mountain is affordable; and Snowbasin is only a short drive away. Year-round hot air balloon rides are available, and residents and visitors enjoy an annual hot air balloon festival. Red Cliff Ranch, one of Utah’s oldest working ranches, is just northeast of Ogden Valley, and offers horseback riding, hunting, and sleigh rides. Ogden is only twenty minutes away, and offers all the conveniences and benefits of a big city, such as theatres, museums, restaurants, clubs, and more. At West Property Management, we are familiar with, and love, the Eden area. We would be privileged to offer you our professional services, which provide many advantages for homeowners. One of these advantages is our extensive screening process. Problem tenants can become quite costly, not only financially, but also in terms of time and frustration. While no background check can completely eliminate risk, our thorough, detailed process will substantially lower the possibility of future problems. Once the potential tenant completes an application, we verify photo ID and run the following checks: national and state background; sex offender, terrorist, and criminal; credit report, including score and full payment history; collection accounts or judgments filed; and past evictions. We verify income by either contacting the current employer or obtaining copies of tax returns and current bank statements if self-employed. We also confirm rental history and contact previous landlords about payment history, property condition, and nuisance issues. While it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, religion, gender, age, etc., it is absolutely in your best interest to turn down applicants for poor credit or rental history. We always have your best interests in mind, and will do everything in our power to increase your bottom line. We are accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Eden Homes for Rent

Some of the community events include an annual Easter Egg Hunt in April and the Farr West Freedom Festival in the summer, which includes events such as a baby contest, booths, 5K run, two-mile walk, parade, movie night, and more.

We are highly motivated to find good, long-term tenants because we make money when your property makes money. Our rental fees are significantly less than other companies. We also charge nothing for tenant turnover. We only get paid if a tenant renews. Again, we make money when you make money. Turnover and vacancy can be the biggest expenses for property owners, and while some property management companies profit from turnover and vacancy, we profit from long-term tenants who renew their leases. Why should you hire someone who will profit from your loss? Give us a call, and we will help you increase your bottom line. Farr West Homes for Rent

HARRISVILLE

Property Management in Harrisville Utah

Harrisville City Hall

Harrisville, located in Weber County north of Ogden, has a population of about 5,800 as of 2012. It was settled in 1850 by Urban Stewart, who built the first log house in the area. One night in mid-September, he heard a noise in his corn patch and shot at a moving object. This “object” turned out to be a Shoshone Indian Chief, who died from the wound. The Shoshone people retaliated by killing another white man in the area. After this tragedy, Stewart was forced to leave the county. In 1851, Martin Henderson Harris, for whom the city was later named, built a log home in the area. Harrisville was incorporated in 1962, and in 1964, when it was made a third-class city, the population was 867. In 1976, the city bought the property that was originally owned by the Martin Harris family and built the Martin Henderson Harris Bicentennial Park and Cabin. Residents can rent this cabin, which has become a popular place for wedding, family reunions, and community gatherings. Over the years it has been remodeled and upgraded to make it more comfortable and functional. To commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the incorporation of Harrisville, and to provide a legacy for future generations, the community created a time capsule in 2012. Residents submitted personal and family information and pictures, which were placed in a binder and buried with the capsule, along with an activity scrapbook of the previous 50 years. The Harrisville History Committee, in addition to publishing Harrisville Horizons, a complete history of the area, has compiled a biography collection of Harrisville residents over the age of 80 who spent the majority of their life in the city. The committee has also put together a free pamphlet that provides a self-guided tour of historical sites. Each summer, residents celebrate Heritage Days with a parade, vendor booths, games, activities, entertainment, a midnight 5K run, golf tournament, youth dance, food, and fireworks. The Youth City Council holds an annual Easter Egg Hunt, and each winter the community looks forward to Santa at the Cabin. The Parks and Recreation Department, in addition to offering youth and adult sports, is in the process of installing a disc golf course. The city also offers no-cost community garden plots, and from Memorial Day through Labor Day, kids enjoy the Splash Pad. Harrisville and Marriott – Slaterville join together for a weekly Senior Citizen lunch and activity, as well as free yoga classes and line dancing. At West Property Management, we are familiar with the Harrisville area and would love to offer you our services.

HOOPER

Property Management in Hooper Utah

Lifestyle in Hooper, Utah

Hooper is a small, rural community in Weber County. The Weber River flows through the northern part of the city just before it empties into the Great Salt Lake. Formerly known as Muskrat Springs, Hooper was used as a feeding ground for Congressman William H. Hooper, who ran his herd of cattle from Clearfield to the Weber River. In 1854, Hooper built the first house in the area for his herdsmen. The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers have since erected a monument near the original house. Hooper was declared a township in 1996 and incorporated in 2000, with a population of about 4,700. As of the 2012 census, the population was around 7,700. Traditionally, Hooper has been dedicated to agriculture and animals, but like many cities in the area, it has experienced much residential growth. Residents, many of them lifelong, have expressed a desire to maintain the rural atmosphere that has always defined Hooper. A favorite annual event is Tomato Days, held over two days and celebrated with food, fun, entertainment, a parade, farmers market, 5K walk/run, rodeo, and fireworks. Partygoers can also participate in a flag football tournament, baby show, tractor drive competition, Miss Pink Tomato contest, red-neck polo contest, and much more. The community also holds an annual Easter Egg Hunt for kids from 1 – 12 and a Nighttime Hunt for kids ages 13 – 18. The City maintains several facilities and parks for community use and enjoyment, and seniors can attend a weekly luncheon at the Hooper Civic Center. Hill Aerospace Museum is only eleven-minute drive, and Union Station in Ogden and George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park are both less than 25 minutes away. Outdoor recreational opportunities abound in nearby Ogden and Weber canyons, and Antelope Island State Park is only 30 minutes away. For world-class skiing, three resorts are within an hour’s drive. West Property Management knows the Hooper area and knows how to help you make the most out of your investment. Good, clean tenants are drawn to good, clean properties. We advise owners to make sure their homes are clean, inside and out, and ready for someone to move in. Carpets should be professionally cleaned, there should be no unusual odors, all plumbing fixtures should be working properly, and window treatments should be clean and in good, working condition. In addition, appliances should be functioning correctly and the house should be empty of all furniture, personal items, and trash, including storage areas and the attic. Electrical outlets and switches should have cover plates, the heating system should have a new filter, and smoke alarms and light switches should be working. Exterior door locks should work, extra keys should be available. The lawn should be in good condition, and trees should be trimmed away from the property. By making sure your home is in the best possible condition, you are more likely to rent it quickly and save money in vacancy costs. We are accredited with the Better Business Bureau and will do all in our power to help you profit from your investment. Hooper Homes for Rent

HUNTSVILLE

Property Management in Huntsville Utah

Huntsville Terrain in Weber County, Utah

Huntsville, a small town in Weber County about 12 miles east of Ogden, has a population of just over 600, as of the 2012 census. It is part of “Ogden Valley,” a community that also includes Eden and Liberty. Of the three, Huntsville is the only incorporated town. Historically, farming and dairying were the main occupations, but today, most residents commute to Ogden or other nearby cities. This beautiful community won Utah’s “Tidy Town” award in 1992. Huntsville was founded in 1860 by Jefferson Hunt, and first incorporated in 1903. L.M. Nelson served as the first mayor, and his home is still standing. Huntsville was dis-incorporated in 1909 because of bankruptcy, but reincorporated as a town in 1924. Utah’s first free public school was founded in Huntsville, and the first school teacher in Utah, Mary Jane Dilworth Hammond, was buried in the Huntsville Cemetery. LDS Church President David O. McKay was raised in Huntsville, and his family home is still a tourist attraction. Another popular site is the Huntsville History Library, which boasts an extensive collection of information and artifacts. The city also offers tours of the first cabin built in Huntsville by Robert F. Aldous in 1861. The Huntsville Veteran’s Monument was designed and placed in the cemetery in 2011 to honor all veterans and show appreciation for their selfless service. Another interesting tourist site is the Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Trinity, a Trappist monastery, founded in 1947. The Huntsville Town Gazette is a monthly newsletter mailed out to residents to keep them up-to-date on information and happenings. Some of the community activities include an annual Halloween potluck and costume party, as well as the Huntsville Marathon Expo, a popular fall event. The marathon starts in the Monte Cristo area and ends at Huntsville Town Park. In addition to the full marathon, the expo features a half marathon, 10K, 5K, Mayor’s Walk, and a Children’s Fun Run. This three-day event also includes food, games, artisans, and displays. Huntsville’s Fourth of July activities include a melodrama, wake-up call with red lights and sirens, breakfast in the park, races, parade, vendors, games, auction, tournaments, entertainment, and fireworks. Huntsville is close to an abundance of recreational opportunities. Pineview Reservoir, in Ogden Canyon, is a popular place for boating, waterskiing, and fishing, and Snow Basin, Nordic Valley, and Powder Mountain ski resorts are all nearby. An area in Huntsville’s town square is flooded each winter to make an ice rink. Ogden Valley Pathways, an ever expanding system of non-motorized trails and pathways, provides a variety of paved and unpaved trails for walking, jogging, roller-blading, biking, hiking, and horseback riding. West Property Management knows and loves the Huntsville area, and we would love to offer you our services. Because the average owner loses around $250 per week when their property is vacant, we have developed a premium marketing plan. This plan not only helps reduce vacancy time, but it keeps advertising costs low while maximizing marketing efforts. We advertise vacant units on over 15 high-traffic rental sites. Individually, this exposure would be quite costly, but because of our volume we get great rates and pass them on to you. In addition to advertising on the rental sites, the plan includes an online video tour of your property, referral bonuses for current tenants who assist with marketing efforts, and increased exposure to out-of-state prospective tenants. Potential tenants can view videos and submit applications before the current tenant even moves out, which means less vacancy time. With increased exposure, your property is most likely to rent quickly. We are accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Huntsville Homes for Rent

PLAIN CITY

Property Management in Plain City Utah

City Services Building in Plain City, Utah

Plain City is located in Weber County. The area was incorporated in 1944, and by 2012 had a population of around 5,800. Willard Bay is to the north, and Hooper and West Haven are to the south. Willard, Farr West, and Marriott-Slaterville are to the east, and the Great Salt Lake is to the west. Willard Bay State Park is about 15 minutes away and offers excellent camping, boating, water skiing, and fishing. In the winter, it is a perfect spot to observe nesting eagles. Plain City residents celebrate a rich pioneer history and heritage. The area was established by Mormon pioneers who came from Lehi and Kay’s Creek (Kaysville) in 1859 to find a good settlement area. Initially, settlers built dugouts instead of cabins because they were quick, easy, and required no rocks or timber. They consisted of a dirt floor, roof, fireplace, door, and window. Dancing was a popular form of recreation in the early days of the settlement; if fact, early settlers held their first dance, on a dirt floor, just a few months after the settlement began. Early residents also enjoyed gathering around each other’s hearths and singing, holding candy pulls, and getting together for fruit drying, corn husking, hay picking, quilting bees, and picnics. The old school house became the venue for church fairs, and in the winter people held sleigh-riding parties. In those early days, Plain City had a choir, a brass band, a drama group, and a baseball team. It was mainly a farming and dairy community, with sugar beets being one of the major industries. The Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) runs the Plain City Museum out of a log cabin, built in 1860 by John Carver, part of the original group of settlers. In May of 1926, Plain City began holding Dairy Days, originally called “Black and White Days,” as a fundraiser for the baseball team. They had a cattle exhibit, baseball game, horse racing, and a dance. The annual celebration has continued to this day, although the venue has changed to the Weber County Fairgrounds, and it is now called Weber County Dairy Days. The community looks forward to a fun-filled Fourth of July Celebration each year. In addition to a Junior Queen Contest, 5K Fun Run, and Kids Fun Run, residents enjoy plenty of old-fashioned country rodeo fun with Barrels, Dummy Roping, Goat Tying, Poles, Stick Barrels, Mutton Bustin’, and a Goat Ribbon Pull. Another enjoyable annual event is Founders Day, held in March and celebrated with a Kendama Tournament (Japanese toy), Speed Stack Tournament, Cup Cake Wars, quilt displays, dinner, and a magician show. Plain City recreational opportunities include an equestrian arena, batting cage, and sports teams. At West Property Management, we know the Plain City area, and we know what it takes to make the most of your investment and increase your bottom line. We also understand the importance of preventative maintenance. Regular inspections are crucial to identifying maintenance issues before they get out of hand. We perform a preventative maintenance survey for a nominal fee. We highly recommend this optional service. Tenants are given three days following inspection to repair any damage found, and if they don’t comply, we line up the repair and bill the tenant. Preventative maintenance keeps small problems from turning into big, costly ones. We are experienced homeowners and know what it takes to manage your home. Let us show you what we can do for you and your investment. We are accredited with the Better Business Bureau. Plain City Homes for Rent
