Every number comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many owners and tenants have rated the company, compared with other property managers around Hayward. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few. Recency reflects how recently clients still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
What property managers charge
Only one firm here states a fee on its site, and the reviews give no dollar amounts. Costs usually combine a monthly management fee with separate leasing or renewal charges, so compare the full fee schedule rather than the headline rate.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Utopia’s stated monthly management fee | 8 to 10% of monthly rent |
Stated on Utopia Property Management’s own San Leandro page (updated September 2026), which also says it charges no leasing, lease-renewal or start-up fees. This is one firm’s description of its terms, not a market average, so ask the other companies for their own written fee schedules.
