Worst company ever, Incompetent, negligent, untrustworthy. Avoid at all costs.
*********AVOID THEM********
They take months to respond to urgent emails and they will not answer your phone calls.
I sent an email last year before the AGM and asked to add a motion. I even received an email saying that they will add the motion but they did not because it was to appoint another strata. (The Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 legally requires them to include motions put forward by owners in AGM agendas).
We asked to move the meeting an hour forward they did not respond and some people came late in the assumption the meeting wa...Read more
s delayed but it was not. They sent an email the next day to say they can’t change the meeting time. What a joke sending an email a day after the meeting. Their only result is keep changing the manager and blame the wrong on the previous manager. And every new manager ask to trust them like they know what they doing. They made us pay almost $200k in legal fees to win a $120k and they could not enforce the builder to pay. Of course the new manager said that they know another lawyer who can get more result and asked for another $45k. The only payment goes on time is paying themselves they will take money from the account for anything if they call you or send you email their invoice for things they didn’t do and no explanation they avoided the audit last AGM. They propose experts who don't really know what they are doing, but you still have to pay for their incorrect reports. (I wish I could find out if there is a financial reason why they are recommending these "experts".) You would be better off throwing money out the window (or better yet, give it to the bushfire victims!) than paying these guys a cent consider the service you get. Read Alice H review there.

Very disappointing to say the least
I have been living in this unit for less than a month now and my experience with Strata Choice is quite disappointing so far.
The communal laundry area is practically unusable; only one washing machine and one dryer both of them are old and very dirty. My real estate agent relayed my message to Strata Choice and their response was "
The committee have advised that they will discuss this at the next Annual General Meeting on 18.03.2020"
That's almost one month from today. How am I supposed to manage my laundry until then?

Incompetent, negligent, unlawful and untrustworthy. Everything you don't want in a strata manager. Avoid at all costs.
Here is my personal experience with this company:
1. They literally will break the law by suppressing motions put forward by lot owners from the AGM (the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 legally requires them to include motions put forward by owners in AGM agendas).
2. They take months to respond to urgent emails regarding building structural problems, and will never return phone calls.
3. They order the wrong reports at critical times.
4. They propose experts who don't really know what they are doing, but you still have to pay for their inco...Read more

Strata Manager and Building Manager performance
Strata Manager
We have had the best of service from our SM. He has responded clearly, promptly and given good advice on a number of sensitive issues recently. We have definately benefited from his broad experience and willingness to provide extra detail when required. He has the talent to simplify apparently complex issues into clear resolutions. This is of real value to 'volunteers' on Strata Committees.
Building Manager

Five days on and still no contact
I've been calling and emailing for five days, just wanting to get my air conditioning unit fixed. It's the middle of summer and there's smoke in the air. I think its reasonable to expect a response from your strata manager within 24-48 hours, particularly when its for repair work. Really disappointing service.

Strata Choice - well done team!
I wish to highlight and compliment the outstanding service of our Strata Manager Michael Barsoum. As an active and engaged Strata Committee member over the years, it is prudent to work with a Strata company and team, who are technically competent, responsive, accurate and customer-centric. Michael recently took over managing our Strata Plan and very quickly came up to speed on the various nuances. Ever so responsive, polite and knowledgeable, Michael is a pleasure to deal with. Andrew Abbott, Associate Director is also a great ambassador for St...Read more

Strata Choice & Lauren are always on the ball
I have been a Strata Committee member for our complex for two years and my experience of working with our Strata Manager Lauren of Strata Choice has been exceedingly positive. She is always quick in responding to and addressing issues that arise, forthcoming with helpful suggestions when required and has deep knowledge of the history of our complex as well as statutory requirements. I/we could not have asked for better support for the Strata Committee from a Strata Manager.

Patricia is one of the Strata Managers on a few properties i manage around Lane Cove and has been extremely helpful in every dealing i've had with her. She is prompt in response and action which is getting harder to come by.
Just want to let you know that i very much appreciate all she helps with and hope she continues to have a long successful tenure at Strata Choice

Strata Choice
Our association with our new strata manager is still in the early stages. Less than four months into the new role, Melanie has chaired our AGM with aplomb, responds to phone calls, emails within 24 hours and has had the initiative to conduct an on site visit to inspect our strata scheme. Well done to her!
We are not used to such professionalism given our rather tortuous experience with our previous strata manager who we likened to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Reliable Strata company
Henry is our strata manager, and found him to be quick with responding to any concerns. He doesn't dismiss any issues and is proactive in addressing them. So far so good.

Please keep up the great service

Shocking service!
We had to request a by-law and the time it took was very long, the costs blew well over the quoted costs and the service overall was terrible! We were charged for strata staff 'perusing' emails at solicitor rates of $259ph (our conveyancer instructed us that this NEVER should be the case). We were charged more than once for in-house work (photocopying 360 pages of B/W A4 paper and posting 12 envelopes cost $298.80!!!) With exorbitant fees per annum, we were staggered that reading of emails during this process was a huge added expenditure. Stata Choice is certainly NOT a good choice for anyone who wants quality service, integrity of staff or value for money!

We worked together with them for quite a few projects, they are professional, and the arrangement is always smooth. Very happy to work with them and I believe they are trying their best to look after all the buildings with the eyes to details. It's a great experience working with their strata managers and building managers team (Gary, you're the hero!).

Very Bad People
Due to separation strata choice were informed rates would be late till lawyers sorted things out was happy to pay late fees interest etc. There didn't seem to be an issue with this.
BUT instead very quickly they sent out legal threats and court summons plus costs with only one quarter of strata over due and another a month late prior their lawyers summons, they made sure they pilled on their admin fees to fatten up the claim to try get it over 4k. Due to this, ex partner issued proceedings to sell and I had to spend $18,000 to defend in family court not to sell.
Most disgusting bunch of human beings Ive ever come across in a long time, thank goodness product review can let people know what your business did before engaging your firm.
