Brenden Allen

People Come First


Brenden has been our Strata Manager for only a little while, but already his responsiveness and communication have been outstanding.

— Frances Howat

Jey Osman

We're For Achievement


Jey has been by far the best strata representative our committee has worked with.

He is extremely professional, responds quickly, and is very invested in having everything run smoothly. 

— Kate H

Lauren Clark

People Come First


Lauren has served our Owners Corporation for approximately 18 years, a remarkable tenure that reflects her deep commitment and resilience.
Over this time, she has navigated the many quirks, challenges, and shifting dynamics of our committee with grace and professionalism. Her ability to manage diverse personalities and perspectives is matched only by her unwavering dedication to the wellbeing of our strata community.
Lauren’s contribution defies simple measurement. To rate her on a scale of 1 to 10 would be reductive, her calibre far exceeds such metrics. She brings not only expertise and experience, but also a rare emotional intelligence that fosters trust and continuity in even the most difficult circumstances.
We are fortunate to have Lauren supporting our building. Her continued professionalism, despite occasional disrespect from one or two current committee members, speaks volumes about her character and integrity.
Our community is stronger because of her.

— Mike Pleasants

Jey Osman

People Come First


Jey Osman has come on as our Strata Manager in late 2025. Jey briefed himself with our building; people; current problems & issues. As a result any problems that arose short term were attended to or fixed immediately and our long term problems addressed in a manner that gives us in our building confidence that a process to resolve issues is being proceeded with.

Jey’s response time is generally under 8 hours and even at some times within 5 minutes. Our building is much happier now knowing we are in professional and caring hands.

— Julia Pie

Sam Lancaster

We're For Achievement


I have been a committee member of Paddington Barracks for 7 years and during that time we saw a number of different representatives who managed our property. Sam was great, he was diplomatic, knowledgeable, provided good guidance (without being forceful), followed up, and got things done. He was also approachable and seemed to understand the financials and the mood of the large number of residents he was handling.

— Garry Connell

Lauren Clark

We're For Achievement


Lauren is spot on and does a fantastic job. There is never a delay in doing what is requested by the committee.

— Prabha Dastur

Stuart Denney

We're For Achievement


Stuart listened and was attentive and quick to respond. My first interaction with Strata Choice and a great first impression of the company.

— Jeremy De Constantin

Lauren Clark

We're For Achievement


We’ve used this Strata company for three years with no issues. Our Strata Manager, Lauren is excellent. She is very experienced and well informed and shares her advice and opinions willingly, allowing the committee to make good decisions on behalf of the owners and residents.

— Darryl T

Sam Lancaster

Being Authentic


Sam, who chaired our recent AGM, demonstrated his obvious in-depth knowledge of Strata Laws and rules and related these in a way that was understandable to all. There appears to be no doubt that his broad experience, calmness and relatability are invaluable in the strata industry.
Sam also provided specific advice on structuring meetings for the Strata Committee. This was most helpful in providing a better focus on reaching the objectives in a more positive and effective manner.

— Karen Waller

Lauren Clark

We're For Achievement


I’d like to point out the outstanding communication and responsiveness of Lauren Clark.

She is always happy to engage in a meaningful and cheerful way with good information, and is undoubtedly one of, if not the best strata manager in the Lower North Shore.

— Peter L

Ashley Sutton

People Come First


Ashley has been looking after our strata scheme since she returned from maternity leave. She is always prompt in her responses and incredibly helpful. Any of our owners that have contact with her find her professional and always have nice things to say. I find Ashley to be kind, funny and empathetic. She runs our admin side of the building with efficiency and pushes ahead in projects to ensure we have speedy outcomes.

— Mardi Sparrow

Mark Loveridge

We're For Achievement


I have enjoyed working with Mark Loveridge. He has been very responsive and professional, and our project was managed very well by him. We were updated and kept in the loop along the way. Thank you!

— Evelyn L

Jey Osman

We're For Achievement


Jey was appointed our Strata Manager eight months ago. After two and a half years of tearing my hair out as secretary of the Owners Corporation of a unit block, we finally have a Strata Manager in whom I have great confidence.

He answers emails promptly (even on weekends and late at night). He is able to solve our problems and correct errors in correspondence from the company. He attends meetings on time and runs them very efficiently. He goes the extra mile.

— Judi Brown

Kate Maclachlan

We're For Achievement


Myself (CFO) and Rob Glockling (the owner of Ash Passive Fire Solutions) had the privilege of working with Kate on the Rockwall Apartments, navigating a particularly complex passive fire issue, one that is often misunderstood and undervalued by owners. From the outset, Kate’s leadership and expertise ensured that every step of the process was handled with precision, transparency, and a focus on the best possible outcome for the building’s owners.

Guided by Kate, Ash Passive Fire Solutions was able to actively contribute to a solution that not only met compliance requirements but delivered genuine long-term value and safety…

…Her professionalism, problem-solving ability, and commitment to excellence make her a truly deserving nominee for this award.

— Russell Stanton

Lauren Clark

People Come First


We have recently had a strata committee meeting at which Lauren guided us in a very fair and professional way. Our SP has been experiencing a difficult time for the past two years trying to install new common property windows. Lauren has steered us through strata law, engineers, contractors, arguments, NCAT, lawyers and much more! I have experienced many strata managers but Lauren just shines above the rest.

— Anthony Naake

Sam Lancaster

People Come First


I am so happy that Sam Lancaster has taken over managing our building. We had our first AGM last week. Sam ran this meeting very efficiently, was knowledgeable, transparent with information and accommodating to all the owners. Our building is working through some very complex, sensitive and difficult issues and I am very confident and comfortable in Sam’s capability to manage these matters for the owners. Over the last 6 months Sam has provided us with excellent client service.

— Assunta Macolino

Jey Osman

We're For Achievement


Jey was incredibly helpful and supportive while I navigated Strata for the first time. He explained everything clearly, guided me through the process with ease, and responded quickly every step of the way. Excellent service—truly appreciated!

— Laura Mobbs

Andre Andreev

We're For Achievement


Our exceptional Strata Manager Andre Andreev recently took over the management of our building and the positive changes have been remarkable!

Andre’s leadership is guiding our building towards financial stability and improved overall maintenance. His deep legislative knowledge, diplomatic approach and collaborative style are making a huge difference.

Thanks to Andre we finally feel like our building is in excellent hands.

— Charlotte

John is always reliable in providing advice, especially when assisting with renovation applications.

He handles all matters promptly and maintains efficient compliance. His dedication makes managing our complex seamless and stress-free.

— M Chang

Jey Osman

People Come First


Jey has been very helpful with my committee approval. Thanks Jey

— Jane Holliday

Sam Lancaster

Being Authentic


Sam looks after our company title arrangement building in Elizabeth Bay. He is handling a myriad of issues with utmost grace and professionalism. Managing personalities would be excruciating, but Sam stays on message. I am very comfortable he is there.

Being an absent occupant (purchased property for my daughter to live in), and exposed to multiple strata schemes across our portfolio, I wish Sam was handling them all!

— Jay Windsor

Jey Osman

Being Authentic


Jey is by far the absolute standout at this organisation. Attentive, attention to detail, open communication, friendliness and professionalism are all heads and shoulders above everyone else. Whatever he is paid, it isn’t enough.

— Lauren Bennet

Sam Lancaster

We're For Achievement


Sam is our Strata Manager for our large complex which faces many problems due to past neglect. Sam is expertly guiding us through some difficult challenges, and is always very calm and clear when dealing with both the committee and some challenging Owners. We truly appreciate his professionalism and know that we will get through the next few difficult years with his calm guidance and support. Thank you Sam!

— Linda Davidson

Aleks Milovanovic

We're For Achievement


I have been through the process of obtaining approval to do a renovation of my unit. Aleks Milovanovic is the strata manager. It’s been a seamless and straightforward process. Aleks was responsive and helped navigate the requirements so that we could get it done efficiently. I have been very satisfied with my interactions with your company, your providers and Aleks specifically as my point person.

— Filomena L

Lauren Clark
