Southworth Home Management of Mashpee, MA, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA!





Jack Luber, Executive Director

Greetings and salutations!



Southworth Home Management, LLC of Mashpee, Massachusetts, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA.

Founder Clayton Southworth spent a great portion of his childhood in Cape Cod, leaving for University and ending up in a few senior management roles: branch manager for a national promotion company out of New York City; a restaurant manager in Australia; and a hotel manager at a top-rated resort in Bermuda. With a track record of successfully managing small to mid-size companies and a couple of years of real estate sales experience, it seemed a natural progression to marry real estate knowledge and management experience; in 2013, Clay formed Southworth Home Management. SHM provides property management and Home Watch services to private homes, investment properties, vacation rentals, and commercial properties throughout Cape Cod and the Islands.

A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Clay is excited to be close to family again and back in his wonderful neck of the woods after having been away for so long.

Lotus Home Management LLC, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA.

Ber and Lauren Evans founded Lotus Home Management in 2011 and have had a presence in the industry since 2007. Ber’s educational and professional background is in business management. Lauren’s 17-year marketing career in the high-end Santa Fe residential market includes seven years of working in the security industry. It was during that time that she saw the strong demand for a professional, high-caliber home management service for absentee second homeowners. Lotus has thus successfully earned the reputation of providing an exemplary level of service for discriminating clientele in the greater Santa Fe area.

Ber and Lauren met in college at the University of Kansas in 1981, and it was love at first sight. During a Spring Break trip to Florida, they realized their grandparents had known each other in Pennsylvania (where Ber and Lauren were both born), and they knew fate had played its hand. Married in 1987, they moved from Los Angeles to Santa Fe a year later. Twenty-six years later, with two children who are now outstanding young adults, they are still going strong. Three generations of family now live in Santa Fe, which continues to provide a strong sense of connection and joy. Hobbies include golf, cooking, gardening, home improvement projects and hanging out with the beloved family dog.

Jack Luber, Executive Director


Greetings and salutations!

C's Home & Office Management of Sag Harbor, NY, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA for the third consecutive year.   

President Cynthia Ward Capalbo started cleaning homes in her hometown of Sag Harbor in 1993 to bring in extra money while earning her Bachelors' Degree in Business Management. After graduating, she put her energy into growing her small cleaning business. In 2000, as her business was growing, she also gave birth to twins, Haley and Christopher. It was during this period of change, both personally and professionally, that she became interested in finding alternative ways to treat illnesses and disease. She went back to school, earning her Masters in Herbology. Through this endeavor, she thought it would be smart business and personally rewarding to incorporate her knowledge into her business by offering organic cleaning products and become a certified Green Cleaning Company.

During this period of growth, there was also personal turmoil as both Cindy and her husband, Chris, lost their mothers to lost their mothers to pancreatic cancer. Cindy witnessed first-hand how difficult it was for her mother to maintain her own house during chemo. As a way of giving back to the community and offering help to those with cancer, she partnered with Fighting Chance and Cleaning For a Reason to offer cancer patients free cleanings, in order to help them while they recover. C’s now offers one full year of cleaning to a cancer patient free of charge. She also joined a nationally recognized cleaning organization, ARCSI (Association of Residential Cleaning Services International), to further expand her business and remain on the cutting edge of cleaning technology and customer service.

Cindy and Chris reside in Sag Harbor with their two children.
