Simply the best – Westside Strata and our agent Leanne has been absolutely fantastic. She is prompt, efficient and gets to know your property and its individual problems. I believe that she and the company do care. She has gone above and beyond where we have had problems with neighbours, trees and the council. She poured lots of oil on troubled waters in our case. She should work for the UN. Show reply

Competent and Considerate – Westside has been managing my building for a long time; very long, in fact, because we were with them before their management change years ago. I feel that all the people that work for Westside are earnest in their intentions and are friendly. Even in trying circumstances, I feel that Westside honestly tries to do right by the building from their… Read more ·  1

best judgement and are understanding when it comes to difficult issues. They are always willing to try and talk to you and negotiate issues if required when you reach out to them, and will do their best to explain any of their actions if you have concerns.

Sometimes you have to try harder to reach out by visiting or phoning them because emails either get lost or take a while to respond to, but if you care about an issue, they will try to accommodate your request if it is reasonable. I can understand that this could be frustrating, and I also heard from others that they wish for better service especially for non-English speakers, but I haven't had too many issues. Even if there's conflict in your building they will also try to remain impartial.

When I wrote this, there was a negative review under a name that was very similar to mine "Lillian L." It even tricked Westside into thinking that I wrote it, but they never said anything negative to me, or even mentioned it. I found it by accident later. It's absolutely not me by the way. I don't know if its a fake username or if Westside has a customer with such a similar name while having troubles very similar to conflict in my building at the time, but I was surprised and scared to see it. I'm just glad that even if they were tricked, Westside never treated me badly because of seeing it. this.

Great service highly recommend this Agency especially my strata manager Minh – I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Westside Strata and their exceptional Strata Manager, Minh, for their outstanding management services. For almost 10 years, they have expertly managed our strata plan comprising three dwellings located at 256 Epsom Road, Chipping Norton. During their tenure, Westside Strata and Minh have demonstrated… Read more ·  1

unwavering dedication, professionalism, and expertise. They have consistently provided prompt, efficient, and effective solutions to all matters related to our strata, ensuring seamless day-to-day operations and maintenance.

Minh's exceptional communication skills, attention to detail, and proactive approach have fostered a harmonious and well-maintained community among our residents. Their ability to navigate complex issues with diplomacy and tact has been impressive, and their commitment to our strata's well-being has been unparalleled.

I highly recommend Westside Strata and Minh for any strata management needs. They have earned our trust and appreciation, and I am confident they will bring the same level of excellence to any future endeavors.

Senior Strata Manager with Westside and is responsible for the overall management of our building, a task for which she has consistently displayed her passion, commitment, broad knowledge and skills. Westside has been appointed and re-appointed by us, year upon year, for one clear and simple reason. In all aspects of strata management related to our building, their performance has been consistently excellent, professional and supportive. Should you be fortunate enough to engage Westside as your Strata Managers, these qualities will become immediately evident upon dealing with their Director Franck Vigouroux, Operations Manager Petra Walker, Senior Strata Manager Rebekah Birchall and undoubtedly other members of their skilled and knowledgeable team. It is important to note that Westside is a well-resourced management team who: a. Maintain regular communication with the Committee b. Are keenly aware of the various NSW Acts and Regulations c. Work closely and effectively with building developers to identify and rectify building defects d. Work closely with professional Building Managers, Industry Agencies, Solicitors, Building and Engineering Consultants and a wide range of Service Suppliers including Insurance, Security and Fire Safety, Garden Services, Electricians, Plumbers, Painters, Abseilers, Lift Managers, Pest Companies, Plant Hire Companies, Window Cleaners etc. With such tried and tested logistics in place, they are consistently efficient, responsive and reliable. Accordingly, Westside is easily and successfully able to offer excellent: a. Administrative management in relation to the establishment and long-term maintenance and enhancement of residential buildings b. Accurate and timely Financial Reporting to our Committee c. Regular Strata Plan Reports d. Provision of Annual, Extraordinary and Strata Committee General Meetings I am confident in saying on behalf of the Committee and myself that you would be hard-pressed to find a better Strata Management Team in today’s market. We have been particularly fortunate and happily rewarded by our original decision in choosing Westside Strata Management and in having Rebekah Birchall as our Senior Strata Manager. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any particular aspects, please feel free to call me during business hours. Yours sincerely

Demonstrate care and integrity despite challenges – I have dealt with a number of Strata companies in various capacities (home owner, owners corporation etc) over the years and fully appreciate that it is by no means an easy job. Over the past months, I had some difficulty to get repairs, documentation on preexisting structures and other paperwork related to my unit completed. While it was a rather… Read more ·  1

frustrating experience (I am sure on all sides), Westside Management Pty Limited has shown their integrity and professionalism by reaching out once they learned of the issues and not only offered solutions but made it clear that they care about property management and value their costumers.

I do have to point out that the building manager is very polite, professional, and responsive. Additionally, as Strata management is a rather difficult and demanding job, I am sure there is ample opportunity for conflict and frustration. I believe, however, that it is the ability to take ownership and move on from challenges that allows us to successfully grow, and am happy to attest that Westside Strata company represents those values.

Jessica Duong is a Strata assistant not a manager! She thinks she can come barging in changing arrangments that was set into place with our complex. Don't use her. She lies and just push aside tenants and owners agreements to get pass what she wants. Wouldn't recommend her at all. Doesn't reconcile with tenants or owners before she takes her own actions into place. Inconsiderate!

I’ve had the pleasure and excellent experience working with Westside Strata Management, and in particular with our strata manager, Cameron Birchall, who supports our Vogue Body Corporate and Committee. Cameron has consistently demonstrated a high level of knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care resulting in the smooth running… Read more ·  1

of our building and adherence to governance processes and structures.   His communication is always clear, concise, considered and timely, and he approaches every matter, big or small, always with a solution focused mindset that makes a noticeable difference to owners and residents through making them feel heard and valued.

What stands out most is Cameron’s ability to navigate complex strata issues with confidence and fairness in an informed, collaborative and consultative way.   Whether coordinating maintenance, guiding the committee through compliance and governance requirements, or helping progress community improvement projects, he brings a level of diligence and follow through that builds trust and keeps our buildings operating efficiently.

Under Cameron’s management, we’ve seen improved coordination, faster resolution of issues, a more proactive and collaborative approach to building needs and delivered efficiencies resulting in administrative savings.  His support has been invaluable in helping the committee deliver positive outcomes for the Vogue community.

I highly recommend Westside Strata Management and Cameron Birchall to any building seeking a collaborative, knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely committed strata manager.

Great results by excellent manager – I would like to highly commend our Strata Manager, Mr. Minh Nguyen, for the excellent service he has provided. I have been positively impressed by Westside Strata since I purchased this property 5 years ago. However, since Mr Nguyen became our manager, he has raised the level of service to truly excellent. His greatest achievement to date has been… Read more ·  2

to patiently follow through on an application to Sydney Water, to recover more than half of $6,000 charged in one bill. This was more than three times the normal charge to our Strata complex and was due to a leaking pipe, hidden under a brick pathway. Apart from this impressive achievement, Mr Nguyen has always responded promptly, in a friendly manner and most helpfully to important issues relating to plumbing, gardening and requests from owners or tenants' agents in our Strata complex.

Best Strata Manager – Leanne Charles at Westside has been amazing to deal with concerning my property and helping with any problems that have come to her attention.

Her kind,calm and caring way she talks to… Read more ·  1

you puts you at ease and helps with stressful situations that arise and explains everything very clearly. Leanne never has a problem liasoning with my Property Manager either for solutions even when it's not a Body Corporate problem which shows her dedication and going the extra mile to help you. As a Landlord it is very reassuring to know that you can have someone like Leanne looking after you who is not only amazing at her job but who treats you like a person. Westside is very lucky to have her.

Very responsive Strata Management – We have had a number of strata managers over the last 13 years owning our unit. Westside have been the best strata management company we have used, and our strata manager Lucio has been great. He responds to all issues in a timely manner and has been very easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend them.
