Why SMAARTE?
Great restatements involve immense detail requiring hours of professional effort AND volunteer involvement. Your goals and content considerations are a critical part of the adoption equation since amendments and restatements often require 67% homeowner approval. Professional involvement cannot guarantee homeowner approval, but intentional preparation goes a long way.
The SMAARTE approach to amending and restating your governing documents puts homeowners at the center from start to finish. We help translate nearly inscrutable reams of run-on legal jargon into digestible chunks using plain language. Our web-based review tool facilitates collaboration and the frictionless exchange of ideas and information. Read our Restatement Overview.
