ESTATE & HOUSE MANAGERS
Whether your residence is three thousand square feet or thirty thousand square feet, we understand the importance of its meticulous care. Our estate and house managers can live in or out and will manage your property from the front gate to the roof. Whether you have a mountain ski lodge, a beach estate, or a country house your home will be protected, managed and organised while you are present and during your time away.
Many of our estate and house managers have strong administrative experience and can manage travel plans, property renovations, and social functions from children’s birthday parties to formal fundraiser dinners. It is also very helpful for households with multiple staff to have the house manager take care of work schedules, payroll, and the general comings and goings that mandate a well run home.
You will never have to worry about changing a light bulb; the kitchen will always be stocked with delicious goodies; flowers can adorn all the rooms; and your guests will feel like they have been on a spa vacation. Even your full time residence can benefit from one of our highly motivated and experienced estate managers.

DOMESTIC COUPLE
A “domestic couple” is a husband and wife team who normally live at your property – or separate from the main house – as caretakers accommodating a variety of household needs.
The wife of the team can take on personal assistant responsibilities, housekeeping, help with childcare, manage other staff, cook, clean and generally plan the day-to-day running of your home. The gentleman will manage minor-to-major house and garden/pool maintenance – he can take care of your cars, cleaning and driving, plus offer a security detail if needed.
Many clients enjoy the benefits of a live-in domestic couple. There is something to be said for a “less is more” attitude when it comes to how many people you want in your home and hiring a couple leads to a calm peaceful home situation.
