About Us
We're a strata property management and consulting firm based in Surrey, serving councils across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. More than 25 years of hands-on experience has given us the knowledge and insight we share with every strata corporation we serve.
Why We Focus On Self-Management
The Growing Challenge of Finding Qualified Strata Property Managers in British Columbia
British Columbia is currently facing a shortage of 200 to 300 qualified strata property managers, a gap that is expected to widen if left unaddressed. This shortfall has real consequences for strata owners and residents. As the pool of available strata property managers shrinks, service quality declines, response times slow, and strata property management resources become increasingly strained.
Smaller Stratas Face The Biggest Challenges. Strata corporations under 50-80 units are often passed over by strata property management firms, leaving councils with no choice but to self-manage. Without the right guidance, this can result in a heavier administrative burden, greater exposure to costly mistakes, increased financial risk, and real legal liability.
What You Can Count On
The strength of a strata property management company comes down to the people in it, their depth of knowledge and the experience they've gained serving the strata industry.
Licensed And Accountable:
We’re a licensed strata property management brokerage with a managing broker accountable for the work, so the strata corporation receives advice and assistance that meets the professional standards required by the Real Estate Services Act (RESA).
More Than 25 Years In The Strata Property Management Industry
Our experience spans more than 25 years in the strata industry, earned hands-on through building restoration during the “leaky-condo” era, major projects of every type in association with engineers, and close collaboration with lawyers navigating litigation and mediation.
Expertise And Guidance For Councils
We work alongside the council, sharing our knowledge and experience through the decision-making process for major projects, legal issues, insurance appraisals and renewals, and service contracts, while keeping the council informed of changes to the Strata Property Act and Regulations. Throughout it all, we remind the council that under the Act, it is the council that gives direction to the strata property management company.
FOUNDER AND MANAGING BROKER
Kevin O'Donnell
Kevin O'Donnell is the founder and managing broker of All Property Consulting Inc. With more than 25 years of hands-on experience in the strata property management industry across the Lower Mainland, Kevin has worked closely with strata councils through every aspect of managing a strata corporation in British Columbia, from major building projects to significant legal proceedings. That depth of hands-on experience shapes the advice he brings to every council he works with.
Kevin's approach has always been independent and council-focused. Comparative pricing on every major decision, independent engineering oversight on significant projects, and an outright refusal to accept any incentives from contractors that could constitute a conflict of interest. He is always cognizant of who his client is, and every piece of advice he gives reflects that, with full transparency about what a strata corporation actually needs.
Industry Involvement And Notable Work
More than 25 years of close involvement with the BC strata property management industry shapes the advice we bring to every council. A few projects and proceedings stand out as examples of what that depth looks like in practice.
References
In the words of those who have worked alongside Kevin over the years.
“As a lawyer in the Strata-World, including landlord-tenant matters, I have had cause to work with Kevin for nearly two decades. In all that time, there are likely only a handful of property managers I have dealt with who have a comprehensive knowledge of the law and the practical realities of running a strata corporation; and Kevin is one of them. Kevin is no-nonsense, practical, deeply knowledgeable and keen on efficiency and technology in the management of the buildings and strata corporations he oversees. The big advantage of working with Kevin is you are less likely to need my help!”

To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Kevin O’Donnell. I have worked with and have known him for over 15 years now, and have found him to be conscientious and very hardworking.
During the years that I have worked with him, I have had the opportunity to observe his professional skills as well as interpersonal style. I would describe him as someone who believes in positive motivation and hard work. He is someone who is dedicated and enthusiastic, and adamant about meeting deadlines. Kevin is master at multi-tasking and has ensured the efficacy of many projects due to his superior organizational skills.
I have a great respect for him. I felt honored to be asked to provide this character reference and hope that it helps you understand what a great individual Kevin O’Donnell really is. I have no doubt that he will make a valuable contribution to any organization he chooses.

We decided to hire a new management company to guide us through a major envelope retrofit at the same time as when we were commencing legal action against the developer. At the end of the project, the owners were realizing full market value for their suites. Thanks to the management and guidance provided by the strata management company.

To whom this may concern:
As Council President of Strata Plan NW2495 from 2004 to 2006, I brought Kevin O’Donnell on after terminating our previous management company for poor performance. What followed was a significant turnaround: longstanding security issues resolved, problem residents evicted, a years-long water ingress problem finally fixed, and a costly building-wide re-piping, pushed through without proper assessment by the previous management company, put to a stop.
On the piping issue, Kevin had the pipes properly tested, presented the findings to council, and proposed a water treatment system along with a five-year re-lining plan that avoided a special assessment entirely. The owners approved it resoundingly.
Kevin’s financial practices were ahead of the industry — separate accounts for every building, council-only cheque-signing authority, and full transparency on all financial matters. His bylaw enforcement is unshakeable, his organizational skills second to none, communications and meeting minutes always thorough and on time.
I recommend Kevin O’Donnell without reservation to any strata corporation seeking experienced, principled management.
Gordon Price
Council President, Strata Plan NW2495
Let's Set Up A Consultation
We welcome the opportunity to meet with the council in person, do a walk-around of the complex, and take the time to understand the building and its management needs. During the same visit we can offer recommendations, answer questions, and explain how we work with self-managed councils. No pressure, no obligation — just an experienced, honest assessment of where things stand and how we might be of service.
