Yes JT, three (3) day course – says it all really, doesn’t it? Not dissimilar to a real estate licence!
Fey Knows, you are absolutely right. A squillion dollar unregulated industry indeed.
And I know a person (friend of a friend) who lasted 12 months as a Strata manager – he said it was soul destroying – skimming 20% off all quotes & contracts, constantly misleading (lying to) owners & bleeding money from the O/C endlessly causing depletion of accounts. Really have to ask, how low can you go? Unscrupulous, immoral spivs.
Any type of public enquiry into Strata companies would be great, considering all the units being built by their developer mates, they’re just rubbing their dirty hands together with glee and our money!
