“If I could put 0 starts I would. Court proceeding have been initiated. Corin, can’t manage anything properly, 2 years on and nothing have been organised or done and they are all on lunch brakes, just look at their website which still say they are out office for covid. If you want anything to...”

“Corin's response time is horrific. As is most strata manager's unfortunately. If you can avoid strata I would, but in some cases you can't. Just pray that you can get a half decent strata manager that will actually reply to your emails, or answer your phone calls. CSTM is definitely not the one...”

“Zero stars from me. Latest management leaves a lot to be desired. They happily take your strata fees until a problem arises and then it's all too hard and they can't cope. So happy to leave and would never recommend CSTM. Complete young and inexperienced staff.”
1 ★ Bronz Life 19 Oct 2022
“Avoid this company at all costs. Poorly managed, complete lack of transparency or accountability, communication dismal. Junior staff do their best, but don't seem to appropriately trained. As an owner and strata committee member our experience with CSTM was very dissapointing which has led to...”
1 ★ Dan Holt 10 Nov 2023
“We inherited CSTM as a strata manager (they'd been looking after the place for about 20 years). I don't have the time or energy to list all the times that CSTM dropped the ball, but it's definitely fair to say this company is beyond a joke. We recently swapped to a different company. Only regret...”

NCAT Dismissed High Adverse [2021] NSWCATAP 156 2021-05-31
An applicant appealed a decision to appoint a specific strata manager. The tribunal had ordered that a compulsory strata manager be appointed and determined who to appoint. The appeal failed because the applicant did not provide the required documentation for their preferred manager, so the original order was upheld.
