About DELETED - Storage Management Associates

DELETED - Storage Management Associates (SMA) had its beginning as Revest Management Services, which was formed in April 1991 by J. Clifton ‘Cliff’ Whisnant to meet the growing needs of owners and investors seeking professional property management. In 2008, the company was restructured into DELETED - Storage Management Associates, Inc. to better reflect our core business model: Self Storage Property Management. We are currently managing several properties in Texas, Oklahoma and Florida, and are selectively adding additional facilities every year.

It is critical for owners, operators, and investors to be completely knowledgeable regarding their local market. Self storage is primarily a rental business, and our goal at SMA is to be very aggressive in leasing and to provide facility owners with effective information. A comprehensive approach must be taken that includes marketing, organization, expense budgeting, and daily supervision of on-site personnel. We at SMA are committed to offering only the highest quality service to both our clients and customers.

At DELETED - Storage Management Associates, our reputation has been built through our hands-on approach and our professional attention to all business matters. There is no magic to property management, but at SMA, we believe that our management style works to maximize property returns. Self storage is a customer intensive business that requires organization, teamwork and dedication, and we keep our clients completely informed on the status of their property's management with frequent and comprehensive communication.
