At Catalyst, real human relationships are key to positive condo corporation and property management. This starts with knowing who you're working with. Meet the people behind the Catalyst name!

Catalyst Condo Management didn't start because we love managing condos. We started because we were tired. Tired as condo owners and board members who wanted more transparency and communication in the industry. Simply put, we wanted better service and property management solutions, so we decided to create them.
Catalyst Condo Management isn't your traditional management company. Jack-of-All-Trades, Master-of-None has zero place in our service model. Why? Because you deserve to work with a group of experts, each with a unique set of skills to properly support you, your condo board, and your entire condominium community the way you need, when you need us.
You made Calgary your home. Whether you're a born and bred Calgarian or chose to move here, you know it's an awesome city, full of truly unique, honest people. Calgarians demand more of their relationships because they expect more. This is the reason we chose to start Catalyst Condos in Calgary. The truth is, we believe you simply deserve more in your condo property management services, too.
Edmonton is truly a City of Champions, one where policies are created, diversity is celebrated, and community is encouraged. You are a city of innovators, of professionals, of movers and shakers. You deserve more than traditional condominium management. You deserve condo property management services that meet you where you're at and then take you even further!

If you are a board member considering Catalyst to manage your building please read this review. I do not recommend this company for your condo corporation. As a member of the condo board for my building, we had Catalyst manage our property for 3 years but we had to terminate our management agreement with them.
What they do well: Their approach to condo management is truly unique and has so much potential with the various software platforms. Trello for managing the day to day tasks and projects, Xero for real time access to all things financial and Condo communities as an interface with the residents

It is the worst condo management. They never provide any service, only collect money from owners. Today is Oct. 2, they haven't repaired boiler for more than a month and half. Do NOT believe any thing they promised. All high scores were from people who get benefit from them. The program enforce me to chose at least one star, actually the company only deserve -5.
Today is Dec. 21. I like to tell public more about Catalyst and about this thing. Before I wrote comment here, l had learned their service email was useless, they didn't reply at all. If anyone is interested about it, teach me how to paste

I had pleasant experience with Catalyst Service. I spoke with Ali regarding my pet application and I was very worried that it won’t get approved in time for my adoption since usually you don’t get a lot of time to get the approval done before you meet and adopt the pet (~2/3 days). But Ali was very understanding and promised that he will try his best to get the approval. He truly worked his magic and my application was approved in a day!!
Thank you so much Ali ! And keep doing the great job! Know that people appreciate it !

Literally the WORST condo management company I have ever had to deal with. I have owned my condo for 11 years, and Catalyst has recently taken over. When our building was broken into MULTIPLE times with the cold weather, squatters were living in our stairwell smoking, and all our storage lockers were broken into, our Emergency line operator could not get in contact with our property manager. We had all our fob access/security breeched and they said "there is nothing I can do". The Property manager told him to tell us residents to "call the police", however did NOTHING about our doors being wide

If I could give this company a negative -1000 I would. I have lived in my condo for over 30 years. Seen a few management companies during that time. This one by far the worst I have ever experienced. NEVER ever use this company unless you want serious delays, waits, no action. The condo corp contract was terminated after a mere 2 years.. and that was 2 years too long!! Re: their response: They rarely responded in a timely manner. Would never answer questions. Could not find documents sent in. Basically a nightmare dealing with catalyst on many levels. Stay far far away!

Second edit: I am re-updating this score to 1 star. I wish I could put -10 but that's not an option. This company is negligent to the extreme and has now decided to fine me for not making arrangements with one of their employees who I tried to call half a dozen times without success.
I would rather eat broken glass than deal with these people again.

edit: Within 24 hours of posting this review, I have been contacted twice by two different Catalyst people, and my problem has been resolved. I'm changing my original rating from 1 star to 2 stars, since it seems there is a method

In this age it is almost impossible to get to speak to someone, especially a condo management company. My call was returned in a very timely mannner, Ali who looked after me, was very pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful and provided me with the documents I required promptly.
Being a realtor for over 40 years this is by far the best service I have ever received from a condo management company. All I truly say is WOW!!!

I recently have to replace my living room and kitchen floor due to water damage from the dish washer. My own insurance will cover it, but I just need to get documents and approval from the condo management and condo board. It took about 3 months to get the final approval. During the process, I encountered 3 people in 3 departments. 2 of them replied my requests promptly and explained the details, very helpful. Only one person I really need to closely follow up and push a little. But overall, things got done. The whole experience taught me that condo life is different from owning a single house

My recent experience with Catalyst Property Management was excellent. Fariz Ali did a great job of expediting my paperwork for my new townhouse. He even went out of his way to ensure all the check points and my pet application was filled out and forward to the right people. Moving in is enough work and stress on it’s own so having someone to take care of these details was greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Catalyst and Fariz to anyone in the future.
