Have you just purchased an apartment? What did you get yourself into! What is this bizarre world of draconian rules, nosy neighbours who tell you what you can and canât do? Why canât you keep your two cats? Who says you canât just go ahead and renovate your bathroom? Maybe you havenât even moved into your unit yet because the developer is one year late finishing the build. Apartment living was supposed to be the âsimple lifeââŠwasnât it?
Or, maybe youâre an old hand at this strata stuff. Youâve served on your strata committee for years and youâve seen it all: the late night parties, the strata manager who doesnât return phone calls, the neighbours who donât know a by-law from a bicycle. Maybe youâre a strata manager who deals with trouble makers all day (and most nights); youâre trying to get a handle on the relevant legislation, which seems neverending. How do you, an experienced strata expert, keep on top of the mountain of information that is out there, and sort the valuable from the useless so that you can best serve your community or your clients?
Iâm Amanda Farmer, a specialist strata lawyer with over 16 yearsâ experience in strata and community living. As a Fellow and Council Member of the Australian College of Strata Lawyers, I am a recognised strata expert.
I have built an online community where strata owners and strata managers (whether beginners or experts) can access the information and resources that I know they need to live peacefully and stress-free in their own homes, increase the value of their investment and, in the case of managers, stand out from the competition: confidently managing their clientsâ million dollar assets.
