Are you looking for an experienced and reputable Strata Manager?

Good strata managers work closely with the Council of Owners and have strong accounting systems to assist in raising levy invoices, tracking arrears, paying accounts, attending to budgets, meetings, and reporting.

A strata manager should work through an audited trust account and be able to offer sound legislative advice to the Council of Owners as well as attend to maintenance and insurance matters as required by the Council of Owners.

Many strata complexes suffer from poor management and an inadequate understanding by the strata manager of the legislative and operating requirements of the strata manager. A strata manager and a property manager in Perth are not the same. Each has a different structure and legislation that guides them.
