HOW TO GET THERE
Typical pathway
A common pathway into strata property management may begin with secondary school courses that build communication, math, computer, and organizational skills. Some people enter the field through related office, administrative, or property services experience and then learn the job on the job. Post-secondary study in business, real estate, or property management can be helpful for some positions, but requirements may vary by employer and role. Experience working with clients, records, scheduling, and problem-solving is often useful.

A DAY IN THE LIFE
What a day can include
A typical day may include answering emails and phone calls, checking in on maintenance issues, updating records, and helping prepare information for owners or council meetings. The work can involve coordinating with contractors, reviewing building-related paperwork, and following up on service requests. A strata property manager often needs to balance several tasks at once and may spend part of the day in an office and part of it dealing with property-related concerns.
