SMART: A Budget-Friendly Approach to Community Consulting

Looking to improve your community without draining association funds? Our Self-Managed Association Resource Team (SMART) consulting program provides your homeowners association with the tools and tips you need to run an effective community.

About the Program

Professional Guidance for Independent Communities

Keeping a community on the right track — regardless of its size — can require significant time and effort. As a result, many homeowners associations hire a management company to take the reins. But when your funds are limited, a full-scale management solution may not be the best use of resources.

SMART is specifically designed for HOAs looking for an economical alternative. Our targeted consulting program equips your Board of Directors with the know-how to better manage your association, then backs it up with a direct line to a qualified professional for questions and advice.

How We Help

Affordable Consultancy

We've forgone the monthly payment model, opting for a budget-friendly approach instead. For a low annual fee, you'll have access to our library of community management resources whenever you need it.

Governing Document Review

We review all governing documents — including CC&Rs, Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, Condominium Plans, Community Rules and Regulations, and other related policies — then provide advice within our professional scope to optimize them.

Comprehensive Management Resources

As part of our program, you'll receive an annual calendar that guides you through the essential HOA deadlines. We also provide a cloud-based archive of necessary forms, sample letters, helpful reference materials, and other resources to ensure your community remains compliant.

Helpful Guidance from VMG Managers

Along with accessible materials, we connect you to credentialed community managers with decades of experience. Our consultants are committed to your community's success and can fill in the blanks whenever questions arise, even in on-demand increments as short as fifteen minutes. From vendor referrals and budgeting to HOA best practices, we can point you in the right direction.
