Independent matching for BC strata councils.

Strata Match helps councils find two or three management firms that fit their building. Each shortlist is checked against size, geography, capacity, portfolio type, reputation, and issue fit. No fee for councils. No paid rank.

No paid rank Firms cannot buy placement.
Human checked Capacity is confirmed before a council sees names.
BC specific Built around strata councils, BCFSA licensing, and local fit.

Why this exists

BC has about 35,000 strata corporations and 275 licensed brokerages. When a council needs a new management firm, search results usually return directories, old forum threads, and firm marketing pages. That still leaves the hard question unanswered: which firms will take this building, in this city, with this workload?

Strata Match handles that comparison for councils.

01

Council describes the building.

Size, city, portfolio type, current issue, timeline, and service level.

02

Strata Match filters the firm roster.

Firms are screened for licensing, geography, capacity, portfolio fit, and obvious conflicts.

03

The shortlist is checked by a person.

The final two or three names are reviewed before council gets the recommendation.

What Strata Match checks

The matching logic uses the same six criteria across the site. Council can audit the method before using it.

  • SizeWhether the firm accepts buildings in the strata corporation's unit range.
  • GeographyWhether the firm already works in or near the municipality.
  • CapacityWhether the firm is taking new clients and can support the proposed manager.
  • Portfolio typeWhether the firm's experience matches highrise, lowrise, townhouse, mixed-use, or small-building needs.
  • ReputationLicensing, discipline signals, references, and public record checks where available.
  • Issue fitWhether the firm is suited to the building's real problem, not just the address.

Editorial standards

Public guides and resources cite the Strata Property Act by section, plus CHOA, BCFSA, the CRT, and other BC sources. The Strata Match team does not publish sponsored posts from management firms. If a number is wrong, the correction is dated and public.

How neutrality works

No management firm owns Strata Match, advises the shortlist, or pays to appear in the directory. Councils pay nothing for the matching. Participating firms may contribute to operations after a real council conversation begins, but that does not buy rank, directory placement, or inclusion in a shortlist.

The revenue model is explained on the methodology page.

What this site is not

Not legal advice. Not affiliated with BCFSA, CHOA, VISOA, or the Civil Resolution Tribunal. Not a rating platform. Not a top-ten list. The public directory lives at /companies/; the curated shortlist is the product.
