I have worked with Catalyst Condos for years. In my experience with Drew and Angie and their team, I have encountered so many individuals who truly care about their clients and strive to always find the best solution. Condo management is not an easy business but they are setting new standards for the industry. Also, an added bonus that they are a local company. Thank you for all your amazing work!

Several months ago I was looking for information on landscaping contractors for the condo building that I lived in. The company that was managing my complex at the time weren’t getting me the information I needed. I contacted Catalyst and was put in touch with Alandra. Considering that I was not even a client at the time, she went above and beyond to get me the information I needed. Fast forward to now, I have moved and am now sitting on the board for my complex. We had interviewed several management companies before deciding to go with Catalyst, they are a young, enthusiastic and energetic team and we have been extremely happy with their performance.

A great company to deal with! I have personally dealt with Alandra and Drew on a number of occasions, having completed drywall repair and painting projects at a number of the properties they manage.

The software program they use produces very clear invoices and I can instantly see if I owe anything on my account.

The team from Catalyst Condo Management are just that, a team, and an amazing one at that. You do not simply get one person supporting your condo board and owners, you get an entire team! You, as an owner, may not like the answers you receive but they operate to support the condo board and help everyone remain in compliance with bylaws. The entire team: Drew, Angie, Alandra, Dustin, Fabrice and Betty, all work together to help solve condo issues. One can't help but respect them for all they do.

I have been working with Catalyst Condo Management to provide reserve fund study solutions for several of their clients over the past two years. They bring many new and innovative solutions to property management and are always available to go above and beyond what they are requested.If you are looking for a team of experts to help you manage your property this is the company for you.

Steven Laidlaw
16:46 13 Dec 18
If you want a company that has a dynamic solution to property management this is the team you want. They have the most innovative approaches to data management to ensure tasking is assigned by skill set to specialists rather than a "jack of all trades" property manager. Time and again they have been dependable for finding solutions to challenging situations. Taking over from the previous property manager they have been a breath of fresh air.

Catalyst did a good job keeping everyone informed with letters or emails of status at our condo building. Angie Norman went above and beyond by taking the time to talk to me personally. All issues were followed up in a timely fashion and both my husband and I greatly appreciated this. It's important to understand the background Catalyst Condo Management as they took over a previous condo management company. They inherited many issues the previous condo management team did not resolve. Inherited issues included everything from the outstanding condo fees being the biggest one, theft and security security, and upgrading technology. Not easy issues to deal with especially with a large group to deal with. We were extremely happy to have someone like Angie and her team to resolve all our issues. Great work Angie. Someone give her a raise. ;)

Being a new condo with very few units, we have found it difficult to find a management company that will make us a priority, work with us to establish best practices, and give us the tools we need to set up a successful board. Since switching to Catalyst we have not only rectified issues created by previous management companies, but were now in a position to add value to homeowners. Catalyst has helped us create a board that doesn't just identify issues, but sees them through to resolution, they act as a vital buffer between the board and homeowners, and they are not afraid to call contractors non-stop until they show up shovel in hand (Thank you Alandra!). Not to say we haven't gone without misinterpretation, or unexpected incidents, but the key difference is Catalyst is willing to meet us half way in the conversation and work through differing opinions. Their commitment has been vital to building the partnership between the Board and Management. I highly recommend Catalyst as a property management company!

This is my second year working with Catalyst as our property manager. Their approach to property management flips the industry model of non-specialized property managers on its head.Their use of online database systems connects multiple staff to condo owners allowing them to specialize in focus areas rather than just managing all aspects of a few properties.The cherry on top is their ability to manage challenging owners concerns while supporting the condo board's vision.I highly recommends them to your interview list when you are looking into a strong property management solution.

First time I wanted to write a review for someone because I believe this amazing team deserve it. Kind-professional - hardworking team-valuable team. Thank you so much to Alandra Richards for everything. She is really good at what she does. Alandra is super easy going and awesome person to deal with.My experince with catalyst condos has been fantastic. Everytime when I had an issue they were on top of things and got it solved with an amazing team effort.when I have any All my questions answered. This team is also getting things super fast. Communication is awesome. What I also like the most is that they don't try to come up with temporarily solutions. Rather than quick fixes They get professionals to do things right.

After years of poor service at FSR, our 8-unit condo board switched to Catalyst, and we've been so happy we did. We've been with them for over a year, and they have saved us a lot of money already. We reviewed our budget and realized that we were being over-charged for very simple services by FSR, and now have a budget that works with our size. I'd strongly recommend them. Not only is our budget back on track, but we've also had better service now than we have had for years. Thank you, Drew and Angie and the whole team!

Thank you so much Douglas for the fantastic service as a property manager. We had some challenges with an existing tenant that I had placed before working with Douglas. Douglas provided great advice, was available when I needed him and helped resolve some complex issues. If you want piece of mind, and someone who is willing to listen and take the time required for excellence in service, I highly recommend working with Douglas and Catalyst Management.

The experience with Catalyst is beyond wonderful. The team is always available - responding to whatever the needs of the condo are, whether big or small.

Can't recommend them enough!

Our condo board switched to Catalyst Management earlier this year. As the president of the condo board, I must admit that although Catalyst checked off all our boxes of what we wanted with a new company, the thought of ultimately making that switch was a little nerve-wracking. What if we made a mistake? Sometimes, dancing with the devil you know, is better than the devil you don’t. Well, I can honestly say I wish we’d made that change years ago. Now that we have, it’s made me realize that our previous property manager, truly was the devil and Catalyst . . . well they certainly are not. We had so many problems with our previous management: Not responsive; no organization; accounts were in disarray; no proper online communication between the board, the management and the residents of the property, never knowing the status of tasks without a million emails flooding my inbox. When new boards were voted in, if files hadn’t been properly transferred over, there was huge gaps and losses of information. When we were interviewing prospective management companies, we quickly realized that all the ones we interviewed were all cookie-cutter operations. That is why Catalyst stood out. They are different. They are a younger team of owners that realizes there is a better, more current approach to managing properties. They have embraced current technology and because of that, we are now paperless and are running a much more efficient and seamless process. Minutes, public records, letters sent to units, suggestions, service requests, comments, accounting (profit/loss statements; balance sheets), contracts, cheque runs, etc. are all conveniently located online so at any point in time, a board member has any information at their fingertips in real time. What’s beautiful about this is that as board members come and go, all pertinent and historical information is not lost.Drew and Angie have been beyond amazing for how significantly they have changed the mood of our residents; how responsive they are to requests; and the drive that they have to help us succeed. They have single-handidly made our board look like rock-stars. We are so incredibly happy we made the switch.Out of curiosity, I looked up their mission and vision statement on their website. They certainly have gotten those statements 200% correct.

Catalyst Condo Management was great to work with for my condo document review. Drew and his team were easy to correspond with and were quick to finish their review; this was critical given my short closing. As a first time home buyer, Drew gave me confidence in the building I was buying into. Not only did he walk me through the document findings, but he shared his knowledge on what I should be aware of with condo boards and property managers.

Our condo has been with Catalyst Management for several months now. After our previous management company, working with Catalyst has been a breath of fresh air. They are friendly, patient and diligent with responding to any concerns our residents and Board members have; all of this at a very competitive rate compared to other management companies.A few months ago the heat went out in our building on a chilly afternoon. Drew, one of Catalysts owners, quickly responded and followed up with a maintenance company to have someone on site to get the heat going in under an hour. I was very impressed with the quick response; It was after this, that I realized our condo had made the right decision in choosing Catalyst to manage our building.One of the best parts of using Catalyst has been the paperless transfer of all of our documentations onto a App called Geniepad. Now at any time we are able to review older documents and financial information at ease with no cost.I would strongly recommend Catalyst to anyone who feels their current management company has too high a cost and too low a service standard.

As a realtor in the business for a number of years, the process of getting all of the condo documents for a client from a property management company can be time consuming and difficult.

Drew is wonderful to work with! As a realtor obtaining condo documents it can be a real test with property management companies but with Drew it was a breath of fresh air! Not only does his company not charge the owners for documents he always answers his phone or returns your calls immediately. It truly would make our lives easier if all management companies were as efficient and provided super customer service like Drew and Catalyst!

Catalyst definitely goes above and beyond! They were there for us before we even signed them on and have been helping get our complex back on track when our previous management company wasn't there for us. Angie and Drew are amazing to deal with. They are attentive and quick to respond. We couldn't be happier with our decision to sign Catalyst. Best choice we have made for our complex. I highly recommend this company and the wonderful people who work there.

As a first time condo buyer I was a bit nervous about reviewing condo docs and getting into all of that stuff. Drew from Catalyst condo management is the person who we worked with and he made understanding the whole process a beeze. I feel more confident now in this whole process and am so happy that we had the opportunity to work with Catalyst. They have been so helpful, kind and just great at the jobs they do!

I was referred to them by my realtor Rachel because they have some of the cheapest services with the best service and they tell you things some places don't. She was right...Drew came and met with me close by where I live, at a time that worked best for me, he was very nice and told me everything I could need to know and more. He is very knowledgeable and knows what he's talking about, which is important I think. My seller never had pdf's for files, only paperwork. Angies team spent over 2hours scanning the paperwork and now I get PDF's for files! If I could give this 10 stars I would. 10/10 would and will recommend.

A uniquely great experience dealing with these guys for sure.

My experience with Drew at catalyst was very good. He was very forth right about his findings in regards to the condo docs he was reviewing. He was able to answer every question I had. He also took extra time to look farther into a concern I had.....and in the end was able to put my mind at ease.I would for sure reccomend this company and Drew to take care of your condo doc concerns and or questions.

Intercom has not worked for two weeks. Constant calling got me nowhere. I’m in a wheelchair permanently so when I fell the EMS couldn’t get in building. Their emergency key would not work either. This is a dangerous situation. So I had to report them to the City to take care of this problem. When I called the office I was never called back or nothing happened.
