New to Inspire Property Management


 

We hope to make the transition from your current managers as easy as possible.

We are humbled and proud that your strata council has selected Inspire Property Management to be strata managers for your community.

This page is focused on the basic information and forms we need to efficiently communicate and so you will continue to pay your fees on time. We thank you for taking the time to fill out these forms.

The above forms are what we need as soon as possible. But, every community is a little different and may require different information or forms.

Perhaps you have a pet that needs to be registered. Or need to request a new copy of the bylaws. Or have a problem with your irrigation that needs to be reported to the strata manager.

There are many forms that may be submitted electronically at www.inspirepm.com/clients or find other resources under Clients » Clients Resources from the top menu of this website.

As we get to know your community, many the forms may be updated to include information only needed by your community or exclude information that your strata council does not need. No log-in required.

Of course, you can always email your strata manager directly. They will answer your message and add the matter to the council’s agenda.

If you wish to drop off the form to us in person – we’d love to meet you!. But please call ahead to schedule a visit with your strata manager.

As a small brokerage there may be times during normal business hours that someone is unavailable to receive you. If you are in our area, but can’t reach your strata manager right away, please try calling our general inquiries extension at 778-738-0234 x 2 to confirm that someone will be available to receive you.

We are often asked why we need owners to agree to a new pre-authorized debit or provide their contact information again.

The simple answer about pre-authorized debits is that the contract you previously agreed to was between you and the previous management company.  We need you to provide Inspire Property Management authorization to collect your strata fees by direct debit.

Likewise, this is a great opportunity to update the strata corporations contact information for you, since we may not be able to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the records we will receive from your previous management company.

Now that the basic paperwork is out of the way, we expect you have a few questions.

Below are a few articles and announcements you may find interesting as a new owner in a strata community.  More articles and announcements may be found at www.inspirepm.com/news.

“Grandfathering” is an offensive term | Let’s stop using it

“Grandfathering” is an offensive term | Let’s stop using it

The term comes out of the American south where many states enacted laws to prevent African Americans from registering to vote. These states enacted voter registration laws that required registrants to pass literacy tests, own land, or other such strategies to create significant restrictions on men who may vote. But, because poor and illiterate white voters would also be barred from registering to vote under these laws, the laws included clauses that granted exemptions for any man whose grandfather was entitled to vote prior to the civil war. These clauses became known as “grandfather clauses” or “grandfathering.”
