Owning property in Queensland is desirable and owning in a community title scheme (strata property) is becoming a popular option. This is mainly because you own your property (lot) outright and have shared access to desirable assets like a swimming pool, spa, boat jetty and/or mooring, gymnasiums, recreation rooms, BBQ areas, car wash points and secure parking. It's like having the best of both worlds.
However, it is this 'shared ownership' aspect that can negatively impact on your joy of living in and owning your property. The management of the common areas is undertaken by a committee selected by the owners (the body corporate). The body corporate committee makes decisions, by-laws and sets the levy that owners are required to contribute towards the common areas. The committee often contracts with a professional body corporate manager to help the committee comply with the many applicable laws, run the body corporate and manage the finances. Sometimes, this doesn't go as well as the committee would like. Charges of excessive levies, petty politics, lack of corporate governance, secrecy, incompetence, unprofessional behaviour, favouritism, bad service, and poor communication are common.
And it doesn't have to be like that.

Friendly professionalism is everything to us.
The strata property industry in Queensland is unfortunately rife with instances of poor body corporate managers, frustrated committees and unhappy owners. But it needn't be like that.
Your property is an important and valuable family asset and you want your body corporate to be run professionally.
When we're asked to get involved with a new property, we want to know who and what we will be working with. So our first action is to conduct a 'due diligence' review of the property, its CTS and CMS documents, the committee, the by-laws, the finances and the minutes.
Assuming we proceed, we liaise with the committee to design a fixed price* service package specifically for your scheme comprising a tailored solution of administration, financial and secretarial elements. This includes standard disbursements.
So you pay for what you need, and no more.
Wherever possible we use digital processes and solutions for documents and communication so you can have 24/7 online access to your scheme and its management. If you need something on paper you can download it or we can send it to you.
Our team are professional, emotionally mature and business-focussed: we work hard and keep our promises.
* a pet hate of body corporates is the 'extras' section on the manager's invoices. If you've been charged extra for an email, a phone call, an envelope, an insurance claim, software, portal access and so on, perhaps you too will appreciate a fixed price.
