Why It Matters

Why Vancouver matters for property management

Vancouver skyline

Vancouver is the largest property management market in British Columbia, with a high concentration of multi-unit strata corporations and complex mixed-use buildings.

Continued densification through the Broadway Plan, Cambie Corridor and Vancouver Plan drives steady demand for experienced strata governance and developer transition support.

Aging high-rise inventory in the West End and downtown core requires sophisticated reserve planning, building envelope oversight and capital project execution.

In Vancouver and across Metro Vancouver, professional strata management typically ranges from $35–$90 per unit per month depending on building size, age, amenities and scope of service. Smaller buildings (under 30 units) usually sit at the higher end per door, while larger high-rises benefit from economies of scale. Korecki provides transparent, all-inclusive proposals with no hidden ancillary charges — request a quote for your Vancouver building to see exact pricing.

Most full-service residential rental management companies in Vancouver charge between 8%–12% of monthly rent collected, plus a one-time tenant placement fee equal to 50%–100% of one month's rent. Our Vancouver rental management includes marketing, tenant screening, lease execution, rent collection, maintenance coordination, monthly statements and year-end reporting. We tailor fees to portfolio size and asset class.

Switching is straightforward under BC's Strata Property Act. Your Vancouver strata council reviews proposals, selects a new manager and provides 60 days' written notice (or as defined in the existing agreement). Korecki handles the full transition — records transfer, bank account setup, vendor onboarding, AGM coordination and a 90-day onboarding plan — so your council and owners experience zero disruption.

Form B (Information Certificate) and Form F (Certificate of Payment) are required disclosures under BC's Strata Property Act whenever a unit in Vancouver is sold or refinanced. Form B summarizes financials, bylaws, insurance and depreciation status; Form F confirms strata fees are paid in full. As your strata manager in Vancouver, we issue both within the legislated 7-day window, accurately and signed by a licensed manager.

Yes. As of July 1, 2024, all BC strata corporations with 5+ units — including those in Vancouver — must obtain a depreciation report every 5 years, with no opt-out vote permitted. We coordinate qualified engineers, manage timing relative to your reserve fund cycle and help your Vancouver council interpret findings to plan special levies or contributions responsibly.

The BC Strata Property Act and your bylaws determine responsibility. Generally, the strata corporation maintains common property (roof, envelope, hallways, elevators, plumbing in walls) while owners maintain everything inside their unit. In Vancouver buildings, we provide a clear repair-responsibility matrix at onboarding so councils and owners avoid disputes and unnecessary insurance claims.

Average time-to-lease in Vancouver is currently 14–28 days for well-priced units in good condition. We market across MLS, REW, rentals.ca, Craigslist and our internal database, pre-screen credit and references, and run in-person or virtual showings. For Vancouver landlords, our average vacancy rate is under 3% and we re-lease most units before existing tenants move out.

We focus on long-term residential and strata management to ensure compliance with BC's Residential Tenancy Act and Vancouver's short-term rental regulations. Following provincial short-term rental restrictions effective May 2024, most non-principal-residence Airbnb operations in Vancouver are restricted — we can help owners transition to long-term tenancies and maximize stabilized cash flow.
