Choosing the best strata manager
Choosing the best strata manager for your property is a big decision. A professional strata manager can make the difference between a fruitful future or one that can be problematic. The best strata managers are experienced, informed and excellent communicators.
Experience is one of the most critical factors to consider when choosing a strata manager. Look for a manager who has a proven track record of managing strata schemes similar to yours. An experienced manager will have a thorough understanding of strata legislation, compliance requirements and best practices for managing strata schemes.
ASSM has over 40 years of successful experience in managing all types of strata schemes, including residential, community, commercial and industrial.
Make sure that the strata manager you choose has a current licence and registration with NSW Fair Trading. This will give you confidence that they have the necessary qualifications and knowledge to manage your property in compliance with the law and have the necessary systems and procedures to ensure your scheme is managed effectively.
Open and transparent communication
A good strata manager should be able to communicate clearly, regularly and promptly with all stakeholders, including committee members and service providers. Quality strata managers are great relationship builders who are honest and work with integrity. Look for a strata management firm that is responsive, proactive and able to provide regular updates and reports.
Evaluate their management style. Do they have a very good support system, professional staff and good visibility? Strata management is about servicing the client and your strata manager should be available when you need them.
At ASSM all our strata managers are experienced and qualified. They receive ongoing training, professional development and have the support of outstanding internal systems and a professional management and administrative team. ASSM has three offices covering Sydney, the highlands of New South Wales and the Greater Western region.
