Most strata property management companies in BC use a 3 tier system as their businesses model, which incurs huge overhead. Management companies may run with large offices with large expenses, such as large management divisions, large administration divisions, large management salaries and large dividends to their ownership and shareholders. Where does that leave individual property manager?

The individual Property Manager (PM) assigned to a certain complex may be one person in the organization getting the smallest piece for the pie and is forced to take on a large portfolio of buildings, just to make a meager living. Herein lies the rub. Unfortunately, this amount of buildings is too many for the PM to provide adequate service. If you were wondering why you rarely see your PM, that’s why. So where does that leave you, the client?

You are paying good money for an agreed upon service and are not receiving what you are paying for.
