FAQs

Can or should Self-Managed Strata Corporations use the services of All Property Consulting Inc.?

Answer: Absolutely! In fact, not having management representation can actually decrease the value and desirability of your complex. Here's why...

 

Many professionals in the real estate industry, realtors, mortgage brokers, mortgage lenders and mortgage insurers, often assume self-managed strata corporations are poorly managed. The assumptions in many cases are that: the strata corporation will have poor financials, inadequate reserve funds, out of date records and forms and possess no building maintenance plan. Sadly, this assumption is often correct. 

 

The affect of these assumptions can be devastating to a self-managed complex in that:

a)  realtors are reluctant to bring prospective buyers 

b) prospective buyers will find mortgage qualification more difficult or even impossible

c) the complex becomes less desirable to the 'industry'

 

The result of a less desirable complex is:

a) owners are forced to lower their selling price in order to attract potential buyers (resulting in lowering all unit values)

b) the overall value of the entire complex is diminished 

c) poor morale amongst the owners
