Hi,

Whilst searching for strata management companies in the Lower Mainland, I happened to stumble across two separate industry associations that claim to represent the interests of member management companies:

Strata Property Agents of British Columbia
http://www.spabc.org/

Professional Association of Managing Agents
http://www.pama.ca/

Does anyone have any experience with these organizations? Each offer a list of affiliated members on their respective web sites, and I was wondering if being a member of these organizations would give a management company a little more standing in the industry. And if a company is not a member, should that send some sort of warning message?

I guess I'm just trying to find out in the first instance whether or not these two associations have any credibility.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Mike.

P.S. Great site, I hope it really takes off!
