    Commercial Testimonials

    “I can’t recommend Ada and her service highly enough.

    She was extremely supportive and transparent and made a usually difficult-to-navigate process absolutely seamless.

    We now have a fantastic new management agent.

    Thank you!!”

    Katherine Marks
    Committee Chairperson
    Carnegie, VIC 3163

    “On behalf of our OC Committee, I cannot recommend Ada and the team at Strata Management highly enough. As an Owners Corporation (OC) committee, we had endured years of unsatisfactory service from our previous management, leaving us frustrated and in need of a fresh start. Ada guided us through the entire process of finding a new OC management company with exceptional professionalism, transparency, and expertise.

    From the outset, she listened to our concerns, provided valuable insights, and presented us with tailored options that aligned with our needs. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to ensuring a smooth transition made what could have been a daunting task feel seamless.

    Thanks to Ada and her team, we now have an OC management company that truly prioritises our building and its residents. Their support has been invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful.”

    Jamie Bligh

    Prahran, VIC 3181

    “My contact at Strata Consultants, Ada Zhao was most pleasant and attentive. She understands the need and her value in this business.

    Our Committee needed help to find another manager for our strata and she had clear kpi’s.

    While it is still relatively fresh as our change, her care, respect and diligence is for the client (us as the Committee).

    We appreciate her help and Strata Consultants.”

    Joe De Petro
    Committee Chairperson
    Maribyrnong, VIC 3032

    “Over team our OC found that the performane of the contracted OC manager had deteroriated significantly. We are an estate based OC with a single piece of common property, so our affairs are considerably simpler than those of large multi storey unit developments. For whatever reason our OC Manager seemed to be incapable of consistently delivering the service we needed and so our committee resolved to test the market for a new OC manager.

    We engaged Strata Management Consultants to assist us to identify and engage a new OC Manager. Jordan and the Team at Strata Management Consultants were very helpful in the facilitating this process and we have now transitioned to a new OC Manager. Highly recommend..”

    John Potter
    Committee Chairperson
    Tarneit, VIC 3029

    “We recently used Strata Management Consultants to assist in the selection of our new Strata Manager.

    We briefed Jordan, our consultant on our requirements, he provided us with a very detailed short-list of businesses and from there we made our selection.

    The process was clear, efficient and effective. The result – early indications are very positive!“

    Sue Monk
    Committee Chairperson
    Richmond, VIC 3121

    “We engaged Strata Management Consultants to find a new Body Corporate for our small complex.

    From day one, Jordan listened to us and what we needed. He did all the heavy lifting and found us a great fit. He took care of all the legalities and tenders.

    I couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough.“

    Josephine Abbatangelo
    Committee Chairperson
    Ascot Vale, VIC 3032

    “I observed Jordan offered valuable advice and guidance throughout the process.

    I was especially impressed by his prompt and attentive responses.

    Jordan’s independence was a key factor in my confidence in the process.”

    Jessica Hose
    Committee Member
    Footscray, VIC 3011

    “As a quick update, our transition from Bluestone OCM to a new manager has been successful this week and is now fully onboard.

    We acknowledge that we couldn’t have done it without you and your team’s help, so on behalf of the OCC and the Port Melbourne owners corporation, thanks for your advice, hard work, commitment, and support through the tender process. We look forward to working with the newly appointed OCM and their team.

    We do hope we can work with you in the future (hopefully for a different appointment/contract) as we all were impressed at your professionalism, expertise, and promptness in responding to the required quick turnaround.

    Thanks again Jordan, it was truly a pleasure working with you.”

    Karina Greig
    Committee Chaiperson
    Port Melbourne, VIC 3207

    “The communication and professionalism of Strata Consultants was on show in the first phone call to enquire about their services.

    I was so impressed by my interaction with Jordan and his ability to understand the issues we were facing. His ability to guide us through the process was brilliant and provided important insights as we progressed.

    If you want to choose a new body corporate with confidence, Strata Consultants are your only choice.

    Our process to change OC managers for commercial properties

    A Strata Consultant works one-on-one with your Committee from the first assessment through to appointment and handover.

    1

    We meet with the OC Committee to discuss how the building operates, what is not working with the current management, and what the Committee wants to improve.

    2

    We review the management agreement and key records so the Committee understands the timing and key dates, as well as the true cost of the incumbent OC management company.

    3

    We visit the property and review it alongside the Plan of Subdivision. We then sit down with the Committee to scope what you are looking for in a commercial OC manager, including reporting, contractor controls, access requirements, and compliance oversight.

    4

    We help the Committee run a structured tender process for a new OC management company, approaching suitable firms with relevant commercial experience and making sure proposals are comparable.

    5

    We meet again to review the management proposals, confirm the preferred option, and agree the next steps and action points for appointment, termination, and handover.
