“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be taken away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it’s the safest investment in the world.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt
How We Can Help
Navigating complex documents like the Strata Property Act, Depreciation Reports, Strata Bylaws and Financial Statements can be confusing and overwhelming. At Condo Clear Services, we provide guidance and support to Strata Corporations, owners, buyers and Realtors looking for clarity and advice. We identified a need for this unique and dynamic service in British Columbia and are pleased to offer you our extensive knowledge in this area.
Buyers
Helping buyers understand the Strata Property Act, Depreciation Reports, Financials, Bylaws, and other related documents
Reviewing a condo’s strata documents is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure you’re making a sound purchase. A thorough strata document review can help you make an informed decision by ensuring you understand the regulations, restrictions, financial obligations, and potential risks or red flag items. But conducting a review can be time consuming, and the documents can be difficult to understand if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. Buyers may turn to lawyers and engineers for additional insights, but these services can be expensive, time consuming, and may result in an incomplete view if they lack experience in the day-to-day operations of strata corporations.
Sellers
Being prepared is the first step in ensuring a smooth transaction and avoiding preventable issues that may otherwise disrupt your sale.
The original intent behind Condo Clear was to provide support for buyers with understanding the documents provided to them during the purchase of a strata titled property; however, our service has come in very useful for many sellers that wanted to be proactive and avoid any potential surprises throughout the selling process. We have even tailored a Basic Review specifically designed for the needs of sellers. Think of it as a pre-inspection for your documents.
Realtors
Given the current rule changes and renewed scrutiny of the real estate industry can you afford to be unsure of strata regulations?
Whether you are working on behalf of a buyer or seller you have certain statutory obligations that must be met, and we can help. With the ever-increasing complexity of strata corporations, it is difficult for a licensee to stay up to date. In the past Realtors were left with very few options in how to deal with strata documents, this is contrary to other markets, such as Alberta, where document review services are common place and have been for the last 20+ years. By involving Condo Clear we can help by reducing the amount of time you spend on documents so you can focus on the key aspects of your role while helping to mitigate liability by having a third party with the proper experience and credentials take on that burden for you.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Having Condo Clear review documents has become an integral part of the service I offer my strata clients. They are fast, professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I would recommend Condo Clear to anyone thinking of purchasing a strata property.
Ryan was very helpful and informative. I have never owned a condo and had just moved to BC. He reviewed all of the strata documents for me and discovered information that I would never of caught. He also got me to ask the right questions to the strata management team for additional information. His report and experience allowed me to make an informed decision and back out of a high risk investment. Highly recommended!
Ryan provides plain language explanations to help guide and support the often-complex and difficult decisions that a strata council must make. During my term on council I greatly appreciated his knowledge and experience with a wide range of issues. His professionalism as our Strata Agent was essential to maintaining effective operations, and his personable nature helped to build positive relations across our community.
