End the Frustration of Poor Communication & Hidden Costs

Tired of chasing your body corporate manager for answers? And with surprise fees appearing on your statements?

You deserve better than radio silence when urgent issues arise, and you shouldn't have to decode mysterious charges that suddenly appear on your levy notices. At Ember Body Corporate Management, we understand that your biggest frustration isn't just poor communication—it's the complete lack of transparency that leaves you feeling powerless about your own property.

Our full management service takes away the guesswork completely. Communication has never been quicker and clearer. You will know what is going on management-wise, and get routine updates on maintenance, financial report releasing, and more. There are no surprise charges, no excuses. Our professional experienced team will keep you informed during the whole management process.

Stop Carrying the Heavy Load Alone

Are you exhausted from doing your body corporate manager's job for them?

Committee members shouldn't feel like they're running a one-person show while paying professional management fees. The constant burden of chasing contractors, following up on maintenance issues, and managing compliance requirements is exactly what you hired a management company to handle. Yet too many property owners find themselves drowning in responsibilities that should never have landed on their desk.

Ember’s comprehensive owners corporation management service means you can finally step back and let the professionals take control. Our highly experienced team actively manages your property and all the issues associated with it from maintenance and repairs, compliance with legislation, and anything else that falls under your responsibilities as owners corporation or property owners.

We don't manage issues but prevent them while managing through regular property inspections as well as ongoing management when required.

Our Team

Behind Ember is a family-run team committed to personal service and long-term care. With many years of experience - we bring warmth, professionalism, and a hands-on approach to every property we manage. When you work with Ember, you’ll always know who’s looking after your investment.

Protect Your Investment with Proactive Excellence

Does your existing manager let minor issues escalate to more expensive catastrophes?

Property Maintenance is for more than just fixing broken things; it is about protecting the value of your investment through a well-planned and proactive process. Too many owners corporations uncover building defects, insurance issues, or compliance issues and subsequently a financial burden. The reactive approach of many management companies is costing you money, time and most importantly your peace of mind.

Ember’s comprehensive service goes far beyond basic property
management. Our specialised building defect management identifies potential issues before they escalate into expensive repairs.
