FOR ALL MOMS

“A mother is the truest friend we have,  when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us, when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends rejoice with us, in our sunshine, desert us when trouble thickens around us, still she will cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsel to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ” – Washington Irving

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY FOR:

  • New mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility
  • Expectant mothers, wondering & waiting
  • Those who are tired, stressed or depressed
  • Those who struggle to balance the tasks of work & family
  • Those who are unable to feed their children due to poverty
  • Those whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities
  • Those who have children they do not want
  • Those who raise children on their own
  • Those who have lost a child
  • Those who care for the children of others
  • Those whose children have left home
  • And for those who desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled.

Bless all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender, and they may lead their children to know and do what is good, living not for themselves.


Dear SMART Tenants,

I wanted to take this time to address a few items that there seems to be some confusion about and hopefully this will clarify who does what within SMART. Also – PLEASE email us – we actually can answer emails quicker than we can return phone calla. It’s actually better if you email us as we then have a written notice from you or SMART to you. You are important and we recognize this.

When you send SMART an email- PLEASE make sure in the subject line you reference the property street name. We have many properties in condo complex, PUT IN THE UNIT NUMBER ALONG WITH THE STREET ADDRESS! The following information is to assist you in a smooth way to resolve whatever the situation is. Please take time to review this.

Cindi Hall: Officer manager/ co-Owner 702.750.9725×224, [email protected]

First, Cindi Hall is NOT a Property Manager. My function is to sign up new owners, review applications, sign leases, lease renewals, checking on every property every to see if rents can be increase, notifying you when tenants move or working with you in getting the property ready for market, among everything else that I do. PLEASE do not ask me about items listed on listed on statements as I will not have the answers for you.Yes, I am one of the OWNers but we have highly qualified employees handling different areas of the business. Everyone remembers me as I am the first point of contact with SMART. I appreciate that but I cannot do everything or honestly remember everything which is why emailing us at SMART is very important. Please when emailing – in the subject line – put the property address that you are referring to. It will help us a lot.

SMART truly values you choosing SMART for being your property management company. We do appreciate your trust and support.

Sophia is the cheerful voice that answers the phone each time you call. Among the many detailed duties that Sophia has – she is also the person that is handling ALL HOA violations. If you receive a violation Sophia will be following up on all violations.

Last but not the ;east – the SMART office dog, Taco- Security for SMART.

Taco is our stress reliever when we are having busy and crazy days. He is also the office security and he is soooo vicious when people enter the office. Just look at that adorable face with his buddy, Mr. Chicken! The only way to bribe our security is if you have bacon. Then he will become your best friend.

Thank you for taking time to read through this extended piece. We are constantly striving to have easy procedures but sometimes it’s difficult. I hope that this has assisted you in who does what. As always, we appreciate your trust and support and we hope that this year 2016 we will receive another Award foor Best in Property Management.
