A 32 unit strata in NSW.
The managing agent looking after the strata has recently resigned. The managing agent firm is appointing another manager on their staff to supervise this Strata.
This has happened 3 times in the past and the OC just accepted it. This is after initially asking for a particular manager who subsequently left the firm.
The firm in question has a large number of managers and yet the newly appointed manager is rather new to their firm and some of our Owners feel we should have a senior strata manager looking after us.
We have a lot of expensive projects coming up and we have an inexperienced EC at the moment. Some of the Owners feel we need very experienced managers for their guidance now and into the future to advise the future EC. Some Owners realise we should approach the managing agent for a more experienced manager and if they don’t come to the party, we look elsewhere.
On the other hand there are Owners who don’t want to be bothered. We are about 50% tenanted.
Unfortunately, a large number of Owners don’t know what’s going on or don’t care.
How would you suggest we proceed.?
Do we ask the EC to appoint a small committee to interview a few suggested firms and then recommend to the OC at an AGM and/or do we approach the managing agent for a senior strata manager and of course both options.?
Your suggestions would be appreciated.
