Early 1980s: Maria Linders recognises that strata communities across Sydney are being let down by poor service and a lack of genuine care. Having served on a number of strata committees herself, she is determined to make a change. She undertakes the necessary training to become one of the city’s first licensed female strata managers. With a clear vision and a client-first approach, she establishes M Linders Strata Management Pty Ltd — a family business built on trust, integrity, and the belief that every building deserves dedicated attention.
