TEAMWORK PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Tim Coffey
Managing Broker
The well-known adage ‘In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes’ was authored by Benjamin Franklin in 1789 in a letter to a friend in France. I would like to expand on his comments to state: ‘In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and property management’. You may laugh at this statement, and I may be criticized for saying such, however homeownership is the single largest source of wealth in Canada. In British Columbia, the largest growth in home construction is strata corporations. For thirty years I have been a property manager managing strata corporations. One could argue that is a life sentence equivalent to purgatory. I confirm the outcome of that sentence is that I have learned to be happy. I would not call it euphoria; it is more a calm happy state resulting from years of dealing with people living in strata corporations. I will let your imagination wander in all the myriad ways one has to deal with humanity, then extrapolate that by infinity and you will have a fairly accurate portrayal of the life of a property manager. The job can sometimes consume you. Therefore, if you are going to be consumed, why not be happily consumed. If my state of mind is happy or mostly happy it is in my best interests to see if that happiness can be shared with others. Others being clients, friends, and people in general to alleviate some of the daily stresses, they may encounter.
Lastly, my mother always wanted me to be a PM, unfortunately I misheard her advice. She wasn’t shy to remind me, Prime Minister Tim, Prime Minister.
