About

A Different Experience.  Intentionally!

The SMAARTE Group was founded to bridge the divide between homeowners, volunteer leaders and vendors.

Retaining a competent professional service allows homeowner volunteer Board members to focus on their career, friends, family and other pursuits.  Our experience living and volunteering in condominiums allows us to understand the challenges community association homeowners and volunteers face from the inside out.  We're motivated by doing the right thing for the right reasons.  Earning your business is about building trust by delivering on our promises and backing up all our work with a guarantee.

Your time is valuable and your community deserves a professional service partner that measures success and prioritizes your satisfaction through the lens of a homeowner volunteer walking in your shoes.  We understand the gauntlet of overwhelming requirements at your community which is why we literally guarantee to delight our customers.

We provide concierge service.  Inquire, schedule time to talk, or contact us to discover how we can help.

Community association law is less complicated than one might suspect, but more complicated than most homeowners and volunteers are prepared to tackle by themselves.  Our founder directly engages with legislators and coordinates legislative advocacy across the country and especially in Washington State to enact reforms that impact millions of homeowners.

Governance can be daunting!
