What is a strata management assistant?
A strata management assistant is responsible for providing administrative support to the strata management team. They conduct both internal and external assistant duties such as assisting onshore staff with time-consuming admin tasks as well as liaising with tenants to address queries and concerns.
Strata management assistant duties and tasks can include:
- General strata administrative tasks such as answering calls, organising meetings and coordinating inspection times
- Arranging maintenance and repair work as required
- Preparing meeting agendas and minutes
- Issuing keys, contracts and emergency details to contractors, owners and tenants.
These assistant tasks are particularly well-suited to being outsourced. Organisations free up their local real estate teams’ time by sending these tasks to outsourced strata management assistants. This allows your onshore team to focus on performing higher value, revenue generating work.
TALK TO US
What key skills and qualifications make a great strata management assistant?
Record maintenance and file management is a key skill to possess as a strata management assistant. They are constantly speaking to tenants, organising contractors and keeping track of repairs or any issues within the complex. Communication is paramount to secure a clear dialogue between owner and tenant. As these assistants go between external and internal stakeholder communication, a strong attention to detail while being able to multitask will ensure that information remains confidential and organised.
Outsourcing services recruit strata management assistants the same way an internal, talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:
- What experience and knowledge do you have assisting property managers or in a similar role within property management or administration?
- What are your time management skills like?
- How do you ensure excellent communication, both written and verbal, between tenants, contractors and owners?
- What organisation techniques do you use to ensure information is updated and maintained?
- Provide an example of how you showcased a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
- What tools and systems are you familiar with?
In terms of qualifications, a higher education degree or certificate in business administration is desirable but not necessary. Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation's real estate requirements by hiring these strata management assistants who can efficiently support and coordinate with your onshore teams to increase revenue.
- Whether you are looking to train a strata management assistant from the ground up and teach them your business's way of doing things, or
- Whether you are seeking expertise and a team of strata management assistants with certifications and higher education.
