One Breaking Point.
One Solution.

At one point before I left the profession I was simultaneously managing 13 properties. Nearly all had been neglected for years prior to my arrival. Many were carrying legal issues, deferred or forgotten maintenance & repairs, compliance failures, and some with serious structural problems reserve funds could not cover. I knew the problem was not about people dropping the ball so much as it was about why they were dropping it. That story has not changed to this day.

Ontario alone has 13,318+ condo corporations covered by a heavy and layered regulatory blanket, and a persistent shortage of qualified licensed managers to properly navigate those regulations. Too many volunteer boards are making critical decisions worth millions in value without the professional guidance they need. Too many owners feel that nobody is listening, so tribunal cases are piling up. Most often the real issue is another manager has simply run out of hours in the day. I lived that. Many of you still are.

So I stepped away. I moved to Thailand, took 3 months to walk the Camino de Santiago across Northern Spain, spent 6 weeks in the UK, a short visit home to Canada and then returned to Southeast Asia, all while planning something that would actually help close the gap between the work-to-do and the resources required to do the work.

My post secondary education was in programming and business admin, and my early career was as a programmer/analyst. I returned to my roots, dusting off my tech skills. I completed a year of refresher coursework, and came back with a clear picture of what needed to be built.
