Worst Condo Management Company in Edmonton

Written by Adam Sullivan on July 30, 2010.

Who is the worst condo mangement company in Edmonton? Many of our readers live in condos that are professionally managed and for some management companies the term “professional” is a gross over statement. Many people do not realize that the condo management industry is unregulated, and that can leave Alberta condo owners in a lurch when they have a problem.

Last week I was working on a deal on where the buyer had numerous questions about the condo complex and documents. So they contacted the management company with their questions, as many prudent buyers do. After numerous unreturned calls (5 according to their agent) the buyers agent said if they didn’t hear from the condo manager they would not remove their condo condition because of his unanswered questions and his lack of confidence in the manager to perform their duties.

This prompted the seller to call to exert additional pressure. The receptionist was very snooty and said that the other agent had already left messages. All the property manager had to do was answer some questions for the buyer but the lack of service by the manger and the snooty reception from the management company became an issue for the buyer. Even after several attempts by the seller to get the manager to call the buyer nothing happend. When she finally reached the property manager he told her he had given the buyers agent some information and that should be good enough. At that time he promised to call the buyer by 2pm (the condition day).

Conditions were actually extended for four days to accomodate a call by the condo manager and still nothing. Do you think the condo manager called as promised at 2pm of the day conditions were supposed to come off? Ha! You guessed right. At 5pm my client called him to get confirmation he had spoken to the buyer. The deal collapsed at 9pm and neither the seller nor myself could blame them. I was just left shaking my head as to how this person could be managing an entire complex.

So my vote for the worst condo management company in Edmonton has to go to Simcoe Management based on that performance. Bravo you cost your client the sale of her condo.
