Chad Smart Co-Founder and Director of Sales

Chad Smart, Co-Founder and Director of Sales, was born and raised with an entrepreneurial mind set. After serving in the U.S. Navy and spending many years working in finance, it was time for him to have his real estate dreams come to fruition. He moved himself and his family to the surrounding Charlotte, N.C. area, to team up with his brother in building a rental property business. Within four years, this family team dedicated all their time to purchasing, completely repairing, renovating, and renting out eight-single family homes. At the same time, he also worked a full-time job in finance and head of commercial real estate, at a Fortune 500 company.

After an underwhelming search for a property management company for his own rental properties, he realized that there was no one better to manage these properties than the same family team has been working with for years. He knew each member could bring their own skills and abilities to the table to ensure a reliable and customer-centric property management company. With that, PMI Charlotte Metro was born. Chad’s extensive experience and entrepreneurial tenacity makes him an integral part of the PMI Charlotte Metro team.
