Smart Donkey — Construction administration for property owners

Your property, in good hands.

Buying, selling or improving a property comes with a lot of moving parts. At Smart Donkey, our own architect, contractor, inspectors and appraiser work together on your project, so you get one honest team looking out for your investment from start to finish.

Who we help

Home buyers

Know what you're buying before you sign. We inspect the home, appraise it, and tell you plainly what it would take to make it yours.

Home sellers

Find the repairs and upgrades that actually raise your price, then let our crew handle them, so you can list sooner and with confidence.

Homeowners

Planning a remodel or addition? We design it, build it and keep it on budget, so your home becomes more comfortable and more valuable.

Commercial owners

From tenant build-outs to full renovations, we manage design, permits, budget and schedule, and we report back to you in plain language.


One team, under one roof.

Most owners end up managing five different companies. With us you have one point of contact, and every specialist on your project already works together every day.

How a project moves

Your property passes through every specialist, without ever leaving the building.

Every specialist your property needs. One phone call.

Smart Donkey brings together an in-house architect, general contractor, inspection team and appraiser to help homeowners and commercial property owners get the most from their real estate.

Whether you're buying, selling or building, we take on the construction administration: the plans, the bids, the crews and the paperwork. You stay informed, and you never have to chase anyone.

About us

Stubbornly on your side.

We started Smart Donkey because property owners kept getting caught between contractors, inspectors and appraisers who never talked to each other. So we put them all on one team.

Donkeys are known for being careful, steady and very hard to push into a bad decision. We try to work the same way: we ask good questions, we give straight answers, and we keep your project moving.
