Jason is new to KBW, and was very proactive at getting our rear fence replaced at our investment unit property. Very good at communicating and easy to contact.

KBW has taken over managing our property this year and so far our Property Manager, Scott has been responsive and I feel comfortable dealing with him. He was proactive organising a company Flametree to pressure clean the entrance, driveway and pathways around the property. I am very pleased with the job.

Our Strata has been managed by KBW since January 2025, all was great, they were helpful, responsive and easy to deal with, UNTIL, I requested a copy of some invoices. First they stated that I had to do a search of the records at an office 2 1/2… Read more
hours drive from my location. I responded with evidence from the commissioners office that showed as I only requested a copy of specific documents that a search was not required. Next thing a director of KBW emailed that because of an unreasonable request I am to have no contact what so ever with KBW. It was then indicated that this director had been engaging in gossip with a committee member. An indication of a breach of the privacy provisions in place for lot owners of a strata scheme. KBW without reasonable justification or statutory authorisation from a judicial entity has decided they have the right to deprive me of my rights under the BCCM Act without any recourse to appeal or natural justice. Question: Do you think they will still require me to pay the fees.. Ha ha yeah I know they will, and try and bill for additional services too.. :)
Stay well clear

We switched to KBW last year and have not been disappointed. Scott and the team are friendly, easy to deal with and respond quickly to questions and requests. Happy that we made the switch.
KBW have been our property managers from purchacing our unit in 2017 to the sale in 2026. I had two managers Bob and Nuwan, who have helped me navigate our agenda items professionally. Thanks Bob and Nuwan
We moved to KBW from another body corporate manager and are extremely glad we did. Their service has been impeccable, with prompt communication and timely action on all matters. Day-to-day issues, maintenance, compliance, and budgeting are handled efficiently and professionally. Scott is polite, responsive, and highly organised, which makes a real difference. Highly recommend KBW for body corporate management.
I've only been a unit dweller for around a year now, previously owning land, bricks and mortar. So this is my first experience with Body Corps and their management. It has definitely been a positive one with Newan Fernando at the helm. Maintenance is always an ongoing issue in a medium size complex such as this and Nuwan is always there,… Read more
approachable, helpful and good humoured. He just gets it done and with great outcomes. Nothing seems to much or overwhelming for him. I'm grateful he is on our team - for his help, knowledge, advice and positive results . Thanks Nuwan :)
KBW has been our small building's strata manager since 2012. After other 'big' companies, KBW showed its difference, with a high regard and specialisation in small strata buildings. Having managed the body corporate committee since 2012, I can say that that Bob, Nuwan and the team go way beyond their remit. Nothing is too hard, they are very… Read more
prompt in dealing with issues, simple and complex. I have received timely, comprehensive and sound advice on every aspect of strata management, from resident issues to maintenance, compliance to engineering works. They have helped us manage a small budget very effectively, having no need for extraordinary contributions in the past 13 years, despite big works needed at times. Never had an issue with tradespeople and works projects are managed very well. Everything is managed efficiently and collaboratively: I am particularly impressed with the friendly approach of the company, and the willingness to chat ASAP on any issue by phone and email. Nuwan, as our manager, has been terrific to work with in the past few years. I would not want another company.

Honesty 10/10, integrity10/10, knowledge and compliance 10/10. Not a better body corporate management company around. And as we all know, there’s one in every building that are never happy no matter how many hoops you jump through. KBW are above reproach
We've been working with the KBW team for the past two years as one of their maintenance contractors and have had nothing but positive experiences. Nuwan, Scott, Bob, and Jason consistently go above and beyond. Their response times are exceptional, and they're always incredibly helpful and solution focused. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend KBW as your body corporate managers. Their service is reliable, professional, and genuinely supportive.
The team at KBW have been amazing to work for over the last few years assisting in upgrading and maintaining their portfolio with construction and maintenance. Great response rates and seamless communication!

recommend KBW Management to anyone looking for reliable and professional body corporate services. Truly one of the best in the industry!
During the time Steven Brunjes was the manager of the Body corporate (of which I am a member), it was my unfortunate experience to liaise with him. I found him to be unreliable, extremely arrogant and unprofessional.
I’ve worked with KBW for the past 10-12 years. The best company and the best people, both professionally and personally. Highly recommended for all aspects of body corporate management. I can’t speak highly enough of all staff that I deal with.
Excellent Body Corporate Management – KBW manages my unit block. They are very responsive to any issues, deal with them quickly and professionally and provide appropriate guidance on matters that need handling. They are efficient and follow up on all committee agreed action items. Friendly, professional and approachable. The best we have had in the 20 years I have had my unit.
Highly recommended! – Scott Paynter and his team at KBW have been consistently prompt, helpful and professional in providing service to our Body Corporate. They’re knowledgeable and well-informed in all their dealings with us, provide expert advice and they get stuff done! Highly recommended.
Excellent service and communication – My property BC is managed by KBW. The service I received from Scott Paynter was exceptional. He attended to every request I had to assist with the sale of my property promptly and efficiently, way above my expectations. Thank you Scott
Very positive – Scott Paynter has been an excellent body corporate manager at 19 Stamford St. We have always found him very approachable, patient and helpful with any requests we have made. Leo and Debbie
Excellent Management – I have been an owner in our complex for the last 5 years and have found the management excellent. They respond to enquiries immediately and follow up with all required work orders efficiently and competently. I would highly recommend their management to any unit owners.
A Grade service – I’ve been a contractor working with KBW for nearly 3 years on a mix of residential and commercial buildings. Scott and the team are great communicators and always have their clients best interest at heart. Never had to chase a payment either! Highly recommend

with great care, efficiency and consideration to the people involved and the laws covering. I/we have been very happy and thankful for KBW's Management and particularly thankful for Mikayla's patience, understanding, knowledge and skills in providing us with continued support at a very fair price. I highly recommend.
Professional, Knowledgable and Approachable – I can't speak highly enough of the professionalism and expertise delivered by Mikayla Parker and her team at KBW. I have dealt with several Body Corporate Managers over the years and KBW are by far the most approachable, knowledgeable and efficient. Their rates are very competitive for the great service they deliver. As a unit complex we intend to continue with this partnership.
Professional and reliable – We've dealt with a several body corp managers over 30 years and KBW are the best. Meeting minutes their advice and correspondence are always prompt and reliable. Our requests for information needed for our recent sale were answered quickly. Thanks Scott Paynter and the KBW Team
Excellent service – Dealt with Gary Lombard of KBW Community Management on several occasions. The latest being last week when I needed to get a General Improvement Application submitted to Strata for a storage enclosure in my garage car space. Contacted Gary and had the requirements confirmed within 24 hours. I lodged the documents requested and he arranged to be… Read more
sent to the Body Corporate Committee within 24 hours. The Committee had a meeting a few days later on a Sunday and I was informed of the approval the next day. Couldn’t hope for better service than this. Excellent service…and not a one off.
Great to work with Gary – Pleased to award highest points for the commitment and support from our current BC Manager, Gary. The standard of service can very much depend on the individual Manager and the communication and cooperation they are willing to offer to Unit Owners. Former Managers have not always performed to this high standard and would more likely score a… Read more
3-star rating but since working with Gary, who also deals with numerous other properties, we have witnessed first-hand his willingness to invest in the Community business of our complex. He shows excellent knowledge of Strata issues and has done much to improve the standing of KBW during his tenure. He has managed a lot of matters on our behalf over the past 2 and a half years and his wise guidance and advice has helped greatly on each occasion, resulting always in well-accepted outcomes. Gary is a credit to his profession.
Great people , great clients representer – My clients and I already been over 10 years with KBW , some or most of them even longer. As a service provider I always find KBW a great company to do business with ! Fair, understanding and QUALITY FOCUS!
Professional, Objective Body Corporate Managment – After 18, years as a Resident Manager in various Strata Titled Residential buildings I have worked with quite a number of Body Corporate Managers. KBW and Gary Lombard deserve a 5, Star Rating because they are efficient and really importantly their advice is frank, objective and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending both to any Body Corporate looking to appoint Body Corporate Managers. Warner Banks LL B
Helpful team at KBW – Scott Paynter is the contact person for our complex. I have needed to contact him over a few matters the past couple of years & I have always found him to be polite, approachable & helpful. He always answers emails and phone messages promptly. Any of the other team members I have spoken to have been very similar. Highly recommend this team.
