MASTERKEY
MANAGEMENT
LTD.
Sharika Tucci is the owner and
Managing Director of Masterkey
Management Ltd. She’s been a property
manager and held a real estate
license for 16 years. Before opening
Masterkey, she worked for Coldwell
Banker, the Department of Works
and Engineering, Starr Excess and

clients. She provides services for all
property types including residential
units, condominium developments,
commercial properties and holiday
homes. She also offers a residential
rental agency service. In the future
she plans to grow the condominium
side of the management business
and take on larger developments.
