Being a committee member on a body corporate of any type of strata scheme can be very rewarding but also frustrating. You have the inside information on what needs to be done and how to continually improve the property, however you are also burdened with dispute resolutions, getting damaged areas fixed, ongoing maintenance and other issues that arise within a strata scheme setting.
Jason Mak is a long-term client of ASSM’s. He’s an astute investor with nine properties within varied stratas and locations managed by All Suburbs Strata Management. Jason is on the committee of all the body corporates in which he has an interest and is not backward in coming forward.
“I’ve been investing in property for the past 20 years and have built a portfolio of properties including units and flats that are managed under strata schemes. It is important for me that my tenants are well looked after and that the buildings are properly managed, well maintained and issues are resolved quickly and fairly for all parties,” says Jason.
Jason’s first experience with All Suburbs Strata Management dates back two decades. His first investment property was located in a complex managed by ASSM. Not long after taking possession, a fire broke out in the underground car park. Jason had taken a place on the committee but was new to the way strata management worked and the roles and responsibilities of the committee and the strata manager.
“When the fire happened, naturally it was a little chaotic and the first thing we did was make sure everybody living in the building was safe. Thankfully nobody was hurt; however, there was significant damage to the property.
Having a client like Jason makes us a better strata management team. He is a fantastic advocate for ASSM, however he will let us know when he is not satisfied with our service. Feedback is important to us and you don’t know what you don’t know. Having a client like Jason who is willing to voice his concerns is a huge advantage to the ASSM team.
“ I have dealt with a number of strata management firms over my time. Some are very good and others are not. ASSM does listen and does take action.
No one is perfect, including me; however, in a relationship, communication and honesty are very important. I have found I can voice my concerns and the team at ASSM will take them seriously and help find a solution that works for everyone. A good strata manager will work with you and think outside the box. They will also provide professional advice when your idea falls outside the by-laws or affects a bigger picture you have not considered. This is a strength of ASSM that I appreciate,” says Jason.
There is always room for improvement and ASSM takes the feedback from clients seriously. We view feedback as an excellent tool for continued improvement and another way we can work harmoniously with our clients for the best outcome.

It refers to proactive, responsive and efficient strata management that ensures legal compliance, financial stability, smooth maintenance, clear communication, and positive community outcomes across all aspects of your strata scheme.
Clear, consistent communication ensures owners and committee members are informed about meetings, budgets, maintenance, decisions and issues — reducing misunderstandings and building trust within the community.
Experienced strata managers act as mediators between owners, committees and residents to resolve conflicts diplomatically, following bylaws and legal frameworks to keep community harmony.
Good strata management helps protect and enhance property value by coordinating maintenance, managing finances transparently, ensuring compliance with legislation, and resolving disputes before they escalate.
Key services include budgeting and levy collection, financial reporting, maintenance coordination, by-law enforcement, record keeping, meeting organisation, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Effective strata management shows up in timely maintenance, accurate financial records, compliant processes, positive owner feedback, quick responses to issues, and smooth annual or general meetings.
It has been a pleasure interacting with Ian from the Repaid and Maintenance Support team on a multiple major issues with my unit. Ian has been very responsive and informative, assisting me in escalating the issue with the Strata manager to expedite the work order approval. Although the process is still ongoing, it gives me a peace of mind that Ian is doing his best to help and keeping me informed of every step in the process.
Very thank you and appreciate when you make a good environment and good communicate to owners to inform every single update and give some good solutions to us to choose. Work with ASSM is very happy and satisfied with the conscientiousness in their works.
Great stratra manager and always available to discuss issues etc. Have been with this agency for over 20 years, definitely recommend.
Rebecca from All Suburbs Strata has been incredibly professional, responsive, and proactive. She’s made a real difference in how smoothly our building runs. Clear communication, great follow-through, and genuine care for the community, highly recommend!
My primary contacts are Tina the Strata Manager, and Huong who follows through with the multiplicity of clerical functions. Both are quite exceptional in keeping the government informed and owners protected and happy. Both are very efficient and responsive in giving assistance to a somewhat novice Strata Committee member.
Tina Poole is an amazing Manager and I truly appreciate all she has done to help fix our unit.
previously I had given a 3 star but now that the issues have been fixed, I cannot thank Tina enough. She took over the situation in her hands and made sure that everything was done in a timely manner. Thank you. You are a true star Tina. Keep the fire burning with your hard work.
