Before explaining what we do, perhaps it’s best if we tell you what we don’t do. We don’t do property rentals, property sales or property developments. Hands up, we admit we know nothing about it. What we do know about is owners corporation management. It’s an industry in which we excel. We’re devoted to this area. We choose to specialise. Our thinking is that you can’t be all things to all people and still claim the title “expert”.
