Get at least 3 quotes from licensed managers who service your suburb, check they hold current professional indemnity insurance, ask for references from buildings of similar size, and compare on service inclusions — not just headline price.
Local Strata Manager does this for you for free: tell us your building details once and we match you with up to 5 vetted managers, send you structured comparable quotes, and let you compare side-by-side. You can also ask your building network, search the SCA member directory, or look at signage on similar buildings nearby.
Avoid hiring purely on price — the cheapest quote often has higher disbursements, slower response times, or excludes services that quickly become extras.
Compare written fee proposals from strata managers covering your building — free for owners corporations, no obligation.
