It means Local Strata Manager does not represent any particular strata management company and has no financial incentive to recommend one manager over another. Owners pay nothing, every manager pays the same rates, and there are no kickbacks, exclusive partnerships or paid rankings.
What independence looks like
Owners pay $0
The same fixed rates apply to every manager
No kickbacks or referral fees from suppliers, insurers or contractors
No exclusive manager partnerships
No paid ranking
Every manager is subject to the same verification process
Rankings are based on fit, performance, reviews and compliance rather than advertising spend
Our role
The platform's role is: verify → match → introduce → facilitate comparison.
We don't make recommendations. The committee still decides who they want to appoint, and there is no obligation to appoint anyone.
