“Over the past 3 years, we have experienced several changes in our strata managers from IUM. The first strata manager was terrible. The second manager started strong for 9 months, but then ghosted us. Fortunately, the third manager, Hope Sestanovic, was outstanding. She effectively managed all...”

“Over the past 12 years, our building has had 11 different strata managers from this company — they come and go constantly, and each one has been worse than the last. The company is disorganised, unresponsive, and misleading. They have failed to provide correct account details, payment records,...”

“Very disappointed with the service from this strata company. They are extremely hard to reach, rarely respond to emails or calls, and show little professionalism in addressing residents’ concerns. As a company responsible for managing our homes and safety, this lack of communication is...”

“IUM has taken a while to come good, however, a change in our Strata Manager at IUM made all the difference with the appointment of Melissa Thompson to our building. Melissa is contentious and responds quickly to emails with solutions that are relevant to us.”
1 ★ Mona Gadd 16 Aug 2025

The lack of communication and response is appalling and we do not see any benefits in my father owning a property in this...”
