Strata Answers runs Tenders for Strata Management and the process is rigorous. It follows the principle that “Keymaster” highlighted – that the Agreed Fee should include ALL routine duties so as to minimise the Extras “Sch B Fees,” over which there can be little verification or control.
Tenders are based on services a particular scheme considers relevant to their needs ( no. of strata meetings included etc) and conducted via a formal process culminating in interview by the Committee.
A tight process is likely to see some of the less customer focused strata managers drop out as their cookie cutter agreements are unacceptable.
As you know social media is awash with bouquets and brickbats for strata managers and is of no real help. There are sites that will find you a strata manager for free, but beware, these sites are often commissioned from the first year of your strata management fees and many strata managers are not listed because they do not wish to be party to such fee arrangements.
Strata Answers declares its interest in fee based Strata Manager Tendering, but trusts the above assists.
