Finding a good strata manager

Jimmy-T · 2011-03-14T21:59:22+11:00

Happy to see some positive recommendations but please don't start naming companies you hate who will then sue me (and not you) for defamation. Obviously, I'm biased in favour of Strata Choice And StrataRes/StratamanageIT, if only because they show impeccable taste and intelligence by sponsoring this website. I also have a lot of time for Strata Associates or you may wish to have a small local operator (but make sure they have impeccable references from local buildings). One thing I would advise is that when you meet any prospective strata managers you ask to meet the manager who will actually be looking after your property. And bear in mind that once you have sold the apartments it's no longer your decision about who gets the contract in the future. It may also help with the sales of the apartments if you have a strata manager who presents well to prospective buyers, rather than Sneaky Sam's Stratafarians who will do you a good deal in the hope of getting an opportunity to shaft your prospective purschasers.

I own a block of flats in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, which is in the process of strata titleling. I would like to have a strata manager to manage the flats. How do I go about finding a good one, and can any of the forum members suggest a good one; or conversely, the ones they wouldn't recommend to their worst enemy?

Many thanks.

Setting up the scheme Books and Records (creating the compliant strata scheme) and then managing a small block can be handled by most strata managers.

Best to break the task into 2 parts for this discussion.

Set up the scheme – call a strata management company.

Managing the scheme.

However many only offer the 'standard' service – one size fits all solution.

There are now 3 different levels of service you can get – from “Do It Your Self Service Management”, “Assisted Service Management”, “Full Service Management” – these are now a combination of a web based services and a personal service.

The choice is now with the Owners Corporation on how much they want to save.

Hi Gay,

I own a unit in Centennial Park and have used CF Strata for many years. They're based in Kingsford and I'd highly recommend them. You can call me for more details if you like. 02 9452 4881. Regards John.
