A Word From The Author
Prior to my career in Management Rights, I gained experience in airline operations with Qantas and commercial swimming pool management with Poolwerx. My foray into Management Rights began with the acquisition of a 52-lot high rise on the Gold Coast, where I developed a hands-on approach to learning the fundamentals of the business. Subsequently, I served as managing partner for a larger 297-lot low-rise property, Turtle Beach, which was part of the most significant Management Rights purchase of the time. Within this context, I took on the task of asset management for several high-rise properties, comprising 1,200 lots and seven bodies corporate, including a 200-lot new building in Brisbane, which I managed from its construction to opening day.
Following a successful seven-year tenure in these roles, I transitioned to private consulting and training, focusing on Management Rights operations. In 2019, I accepted a role with Accor as a strata manager, overseeing a vast portfolio of over 80 properties, their associated caretaking agreements and responsibilities. This role afforded me considerable insight into the importance of strategic planning and rigorous record-keeping in achieving best practice and compliance in Building Management.
My book represents the culmination of years of experience, extensive knowledge of best practices, and a practical approach to building a successful and profitable Management Rights business.

Individuals who have not been involved with an Owners Committee, Body Corporate, or commercial contracts such as Caretaking Agreements before entering the Management Rights industry may find this guide particularly useful.
This text will discuss best practices, transparent communication, and provide insight into why profitability needs to increase from day one.
