On-the-ground OMC representation for institutional investors.
For investors with units across multiple developments who can't be on every board — but need someone experienced who is. Independent, conflict-free, and focused on protecting asset value.
OMCs are run by whoever turns up — and absent investors carry the cost.
Apartment developments are governed by OMCs whose boards are made up of whoever happens to attend the AGM. For an investor with units across multiple buildings, that means service-charge creep, under-provisioned sinking funds, and decisions taken without representation.
No seat at the table
If you can't attend the AGM or sit on the board, decisions about your building happen without you — and the managing agent's interests aren't always yours.
Service-charge creep
Budgets pass by default, sinking funds get under-provisioned, and the cost falls straight to the lot owner. Nobody is paid to push back.
Tendering is rare and unstructured
Most boards have never run a competitive tender for their managing agent. The same firm renews year after year without a benchmark.
Six ways I help.
Each on a fixed-fee or retainer basis, with clear scope and written reporting. Tap any service for detail or to start a conversation.
Professional OMC Director
I sit on the board as nominee director for investors who own units but can't attend in person — scrutinising the budget and voting in their interest.
Managing-Agent Tender
An end-to-end competitive tender for your next managing agent — evidenced, benchmarked, and defensible to owners.
Managing-Agent Performance Review
A written scorecard for boards staying with their current agent but wanting measurable KPIs and an action plan.
OMC Governance Support for AHBs
Briefings and pre-meeting support for Approved Housing Bodies whose staff sit on or engage with OMC boards.
New Development OMC Set-up
Budget, apportionment and lease schedules set right before the first unit sells — then the first agent appointed by tender, not by default.
Overseas Investor Due Diligence
A roadmap and review service for investors abroad buying Irish property where an OMC is in place.
Experience, applied on the owner's side.
OMC Advisory is led by Julian Ritchie, who founded Greendoor Property Management in 2011 — one of the inaugural PSRA-licensed managing agents in Ireland — and grew it over fourteen years to look after more than 10,000 properties and annual OMC budgets above €8 million before selling in October 2025.
Across that period Julian served on hundreds of OMC boards, attended more than a thousand AGMs, and led the response to the rare but serious events that mark an OMC's life cycle — fires, an explosion, and development-wide floods. The practice takes a small number of engagements at a time and accepts no commissions or referral fees from any managing agent.
