Moving careers from Property Management to Strata Management

If you are a Property Manager and have considered moving to Strata Management, this one is for you!

First things first, you need to figure out which one is actually right for you. If you want to manage more than one owner in a building or apartment complex, you want to consider being a strata manager. If you only want to manage individuals (even if the individual owns several properties in that building or apartment complex), then property management is more suited to you you.

So now, if you are leaning towards strata management, we will guide you on the next steps for a successful career move.

Similar to PM, Strata Management is a very people/customer service-focused career. Use this to your advantage and include in your resume the skills employers in Strata Management look for. Some of these include problem-solving skills, conflict management, multitasking, time management and communication skills.

Next, consider reaching out to individuals in the Strata industry. You can do this by finding and connecting with people on LinkedIn. Try to connect with leading strata managers/senior strata managers to get an idea of their day-to-day and how they have become successful.
