and we are judged by that guarantee every day.

Reason 10
Exclusive Reports Free-Of-Charge
......
We are the only company to provide your Strata scheme with:-
Only in this way can your Strata Scheme be kept informed.
Reason 11
Insurance
Commissions Refunded
......
As you may be aware, insurance commission is normally part of the Agent income, however, this does not work in the interests of Strata schemes as there is a temptation to recommend the insurance company that pays the best commission.
We do not retain insurance commission. We still negotiate commission, but then we rebate it back to the Strata scheme in full, so that there is no incentive to us to recommend other than the very best price for what would be your largest single item of expenditure.
We obtain competitive quotes from several insurance companies for your business.
Reason 12
All
Included
......
Quarterly levy notices, maintaining the Strata Roll, arranging competitive insurance. Our fee includes all the items already listed, plus preparation of notices and minutes of meetings, issue of "MICR" encoded quotes, negotiating with contractors, maintaining and issuing security keys, etc.
Reason 13
Personalised Service
......
In the past, you may have suffered frequent "changes of face" managing your Strata scheme, "new" staff gaining their "experience" at your cost.
Reason 14
Photocopy
Costs
......
Photocopies are treated by many others as a "Licence-to-print-money" at the expense of the Strata Scheme. Our approach is different in that we charge a sliding scale, depending on quantities, and you are only charged for the copies used by your Strata scheme.
There are:
We do insist on an external audit at the cost of the Owners Corporation, it protects you from us and us from you.
Reason 15
Your Strata
Bank Account
......
Are your strata funds protected???
We keep your strata monies in an individual bank trust account for every individual strata plan in the name of the Strata Scheme.
Other strata managers keep the trust money for all of their clients in a single "pooled" bank account, with clients separated only "in their computer".
The individual trust account method of banking has proven to be the safest for strata schemes monies.
“Which Bank?” With banks cutting back staff and closing branches, we have selected the Commonwealth Bank for all of our strata schemes.
Why???
Reason 16
Property
Management Is Our Speciality
......
When you engage the services of First Mark Realty to manage your property, you know your investment will be managed professionally. Our property managers are constantly upgrading their skills by training and up-to-date education and legislations changes and markets trends.
We believe that the total cost of management through our company is the lowest in the industry, however our management fee per year, may be higher than that quoted by others.
The reason for this is that all of our costs are disclosed as part of our management fee and we do not try to "hide" indirect charges.
If you examine other quotes closely, you will find that they charge many "extras" such as "computer fees", "fax charges", "meeting fees", "levy encoding fees", "phone calls", and other charges. Others take insurance commission to supplement their management fee, but we refund the insurance commission in full to the Owners Corporation.
Our Management fee is our only fee, and our only income. The only other charges are postage and photocopying plus any "out-of-pocket" expenditure.
From this we hope that you will agree that the comparison should not be made solely on the management fee but on the total cost plus the service and information rendered.
It is on this basis that we state that we believe that our total package will be the lowest cost available for your Strata scheme.
Reason 17
Direct Computer Link
......
We have a direct computer link from our office to the Land Titles Office so that we can immediately access property information.
Reason 18
Team
Work
......
A team of salespeople gives you a huge amount of manpower working on the sale of your property. More sales people means more contacts, and more potential buyers, so more buyers will view your property
Team of three senior managers are looking after your Strata. Personalised service is guaranteed by having each manager responsible for a small group of buildings.
Our team knows the market and ensures the maximum return on your investment.
Reason 19
Registered Valuers
......
The carrying out of the mission in terms of supplying a professional valuation service, in the shortest possible time, at a competitive market related valuation fee and with the highest standard of professionalism as required by the valuation profession.
Reason 20
Conclusion
......
Our cost may or may not be slightly higher than others, but when all costs are taken into consideration, that are normally hidden, our fee is not only reasonable, it is totally honest, up front, and capable of regular checks.
It is not "how much is the fee," but how much it will cost you in the end.
We are very keen to provide you with professional services.
