Very pleased with the quick and courteous response from Ayyan at Catalyst, in response to concerns I'd raised on behalf of our commercial tenants with a contractor's snow removal services. Catalyst was prompt in acknowledging our concerns and more importantly, ensuring the contractor fulfilled its obligations in a timely and satisfactory manner. Great customer service!

I reported a heating issue in my unit. Asfandyar Abid, Maintenance Project Manager, contacted me right away to get more info so to understand the issue better. Then he immediately contacted Eddytime Mechanical. Both Asfandyar & the contractor responded so quickly & efficiently to solve the issue. Much appreciated for their professionalism, exceptional customer service & expertise.

Hamza at Catalyst was super fast to respond to my renovation request and had everything before the board and approved so quickly! Catalyst has also been a huge improvement over our previous condo management company. They have systems in place, are always friendly, and are really supportive to us owners. Thank you Catalyst, and Hamza, keep up the great work!

I was in a bit of a rush to get my renovations done as wasn't aware of the bylaws protocols to get them approved beforehand. Hamza was absolutely amazing in facilitating this and got all approvals in an expedited manner. Catalyst condos are lucky to have him. Great job on my renovations approval! It was much appreciated 🙏 😌

He was always friendly and courteous to deal with and responded in a timely manner to our phone calls and emails. He is a true asset tto he company. Thanks so much Hamza.

A big thanks to Hamza Qazi for working hard - even on a statutory holiday - to ensure my clients received the timely approvals they needed to go ahead with their purchase of a unit managed by Catalyst. In an industry where as realtors we see an epidemic of service and communication issues, Hamza gave me reason to believe there are still great professionals out there that go above and beyond. Very impressed and appreciative!

They work hard at a tough job. Not always perfect but I would say from ownership down to the people managing the property and responding they have been kind and practical throughout. I say this having been both a resident on the receiving side and working with them as a board member.

Asfandyar at Catalyst Condo Management promptly responded, as I alerted them in regard to a problem with the heating system in my property. He then swiftly set a process in motion to have this resolved within 24 hours. Remarkable service.

[This praise is dedicated to this employee of Omair, not catalyst all staff]My request to replace the flooring in my apartment was approved relatively quickly!! I gave Omair a 5-star rating for its work efficiency and service attitude.But I can only give 0 stars to other staff at catalyst, they are very rude.

Catalyst Condo Management is the management company at The Waterford. I recently had an incident which required immediate action. My dealing with Asfandyar Abid were professional and timely and I was very happy with the service. Inquiries I made were dealt with professionalism and the detail provided was greatly appreciated.

Tenant let me know of an issue with their lock in their unit. Emailed Catalyst through their system. Received a response in a timely manner, and they dispatched someone right away to look at it. Updated that the issue was fixed, and that it was not our cost. I understand things won’t always go this smoothly, but gotta celebrate the small wins!

I have dealt directly with Omair and Ryan and Catalyst (as well as Amanda at FIRST). I am in the same industry and understand that there are processes to follow and that these can sometimes take time to come to an end result. Working with them I felt confident our requests and questions were heard, understood, and most importantly, that action was underway. I look forward to continuing our working relationship.

Catalyst is the management company for my condo at Luna. They have great communication and help address any questions in a timely manner. They set clear expectations and take action if a resident is violating the condo bylaws to help ensure safety and peace for us all. Thanks to Angie and Fariz for all of your support.

As a tenant I find Catalyst Condo Management pretty good. Unlike some other condo management companies our building has used in the past Catalyst Condos is responsive to any concerns or inquiries we may have. The turnaround time for any support tickets we submit is usually less than a day and the support staff we talk to are well organized.We recently had an issue where our sewer line was backing up and Asfandyar at Catalyst worked with us to get the issue resolved very quickly.The last time this happened under previous ownership the condo management company did not do anything to help us and we had to pay for a plumber out of pocket.I hope Catalyst Condos continues to provide excellent customer service in the future

I dealt with Catalyst Condo Management on a recent sale for a property. I'm a Realtor Assistant with still a lot to learn about condos and condo documents!

Catalyst was the condo management company that managed the property I recently sold. Closing date on the sale of my unit is today, and during the closing process Fariz, Betty and Angie we're very helpful and a pleasure to work with! The company overall has been very easy to deal with and communication has been excellent.Over the 15 years ive owned this property, Catalyst was by far the best. Highly recommend as a management company for your community!Thanks again to the whole team.

I have worked with Catalyst Condos for years. In my experience with Drew and Angie and their team, I have encountered so many individuals who truly care about their clients and strive to always find the best solution. Condo management is not an easy business but they are setting new standards for the industry. Also, an added bonus that they are a local company. Thank you for all your amazing work!

After years of poor service at FSR, our 8-unit condo board switched to Catalyst, and we've been so happy we did. We've been with them for over a year, and they have saved us a lot of money already. We reviewed our budget and realized that we were being over-charged for very simple services by FSR, and now have a budget that works with our size. I'd strongly recommend them. Not only is our budget back on track, but we've also had better service now than we have had for years. Thank you, Drew and Angie and the whole team!

I’ve been a Board member on multiple Condos both here in Calgary, as well as abroad for many years now. I’ve never found a “perfect” condo management firm anywhere, but without a doubt I am happy to say I feel I’ve finally found in Catalyst a company that comes the closest by far and is heads and tails above the regular service offerings that seem to be out there.We’re just coming up to our first year anniversary with them and everyone on our Board shares the same feeling that they have been a blessing after having dealt with other companies that seem to all follow the same playbook based upon just win the contract with promises then reduce the service to the minimum level possible so they can maximize their margins.They truly are “breaking the mold” on Condo Management support in Calgary.

Thank you so much Douglas for the fantastic service as a property manager. We had some challenges with an existing tenant that I had placed before working with Douglas. Douglas provided great advice, was available when I needed him and helped resolve some complex issues. If you want piece of mind, and someone who is willing to listen and take the time required for excellence in service, I highly recommend working with Douglas and Catalyst Management.

As a board member I’m very thankful we made the change to Catalyst. Drew Spencer and his team run a condo Mgmt company unlike any other and provide service that is second to none. I highly recommend them for any condo looking for the best possible experience.

We switched to Catalyst condo management and things have been so much better. Any questions get answered in a reasonable time, all service requests are complete and it seems like this company actually cares about our building instead about how much money we pay them. Good Job so Far

The experience with Catalyst is beyond wonderful. The team is always available - responding to whatever the needs of the condo are, whether big or small. Catalyst provides constant feedback/updates, keeps owners and the Board in the loop on all major activities, uses technology and multiple streams of communications, and ensures our condo is operating without issue. Can't recommend them enough!

The team at Catalyst is simply amazing. Our condo board switched to Catalyst a few months ago, they have been incredible. We have had problems with other management companies in the past, and Catalyst has restored my faith that good management is actually possible. There team is always eager and willing to answer calls and find solutions. Day, Night, weekend or holiday, These guys are always there when owners or tenants need something. Using modern technology to streamline communication their team is able to get information to owners tenants and board members immediately. They use a system of apps and, websites to enhance the management process, and they are always still just a phone call away if you prefer communication the old fashioned way. If you are looking for new property management Catalyst is by far the best you will find.

My unit is not connected to the phone line properly. I moved in a few days ago and the TELUS technician told me that he needs access to the electrical room. I called Catalyst and after several failed attempts when I finally got hold of someone, they just said that TELUS technician needs to come pick up the keys from their office.I asked the TELUS technician and he said ‘that is not possible and outside of our job description. We don’t do that.’Catalyst won’t give me the Electrical room keys. TELUS technician won’t go pick up the electrical room keys. What do I do in this matter?I work from home and need internet. No one is willing to budge.I just got really unlucky here.———————-Update: We cancelled TELUS since there was no way of getting fibre optic service due to an issue with the wiring of the condo unit. The condo management did reach out to TELUS and gave them the keys to the electrical room. I appreciate it.I do want to add that it’s hard to reach Catalyst condo management. However, once I did get in touch with Desiree, she helped me out :)

Catalyst has contacted me about the issue I posted, apologized and explained why there was a problem and that they and the board are adding weeding to the landscaping contract. It was not in the contract so the only real issue was the lack of communication which has been rectified. The person I talked to was polite, listened to my concerns and is on top of the issue so I have revised my rating to 4 stars.
