无论是聘请外包物业管理公司，还是居民自己成立管理团队，拥有优良管理和维护的产业不二的办法，就是精挑细选对的团队。 若选择聘请物业管理公司，那你知道要如何挑选对的公司吗？你明白物业管理的工作内容和责任吗？你了解挑选公司时必须要考虑的要点吗？ Malaysian Institute of Professional Property Managers（马来西亚专业物业经理协会，简称MIPFM)）主席Adzman Shah Mohd Ariffin表示，物业经理在物业管理和维护上扮演很重要的角色，他们必须以业主的利益为主，所以，他们必须清楚了解自己的责任和使命。 他说：“对于非分层地契产业，物业经理的工作范围主要是确保物业时刻在良好的状态，以为业主带来更高的转售价值或出租收入。此外，业主也可以委托管理团队处理租赁工作，例如协助收租等。” 至于分层地契产业，物业经理大多受到产业发展商、联合管理机构（简称JMB）或管理机构（MC）委托，管理和维护公共产业和设施。 根据Adzman的观察，大部分的JMB和MC并不在意所委托的物业管理公司是否已经注册在Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers（马来西亚估值师、估价师、房地产代理和物业管理局，简称BOVAEP）下。 “如果该公司没有注册在BOVAEP下，根据757法令或2013年分层管理法令，该公司必须存放一笔相等于12个月合约管理费用的资金给JMB或MC作为抵押。” 如果物业经理或管理团队没有执行责任，或者忽略职务，因而违反了他们当初所承诺的服务，JMB或MC应立即书面警告，并要求他们在限期中补救。不过，他表示，由BOVAEP注册管理公司派出驻守物业的管理团队，不会有借口不执行职务，因为他们都经过了当局的培训，对大马物业管理的基准熟悉。 BOVAEP提供的物业管理基准，是一个给予已注册管理公司作为关键绩效指标的管理指引。 在选择物业管理公司时，JMB或MC为了节省成本，通常比较偏好收费较低的公司。不过，Adzman点出，较低的服务收费或许是来自于聘请不符合资格的管理人员，因此人工成本较低，所以服务收费才会比较低。 他说：“因为服务收费较低而选错公司，到最后必须中止合约的案件比比皆是。JMB或MC也会为了临时寻找替代公司而痛疼。” 另一方面，Adzman也指出不一定收费高就是好公司。 他说，有不道德的公司表示为了要聘请合格的管理人员，因此人工成本较高。但实际上，管理人员所领取的月薪却不如所说的高。因此，JMB或MC必须要在每月支付费用前，坚持检查管理公司支付给管理人员的薪水单。 英文版已刊登于2019年10月11日的EdgeProp.
