What We Do

Whatever Your Home & Lifestyle
Needs, We Handle It.

Whether you pick up the phone with a quick request or hand us the keys entirely — we show up and take care of it. Preparing for your arrival, grocery shopping, managing special occasions, company coming into town, or you simply need a server for tonight’s dinner — whatever your lifestyle calls for, we make it happen. There is truly nothing within the realm of your home and lifestyle that we can’t handle, so you can continue enjoying the life you’ve built and love.

01

Household Management

Staff oversight, vendor coordination, property maintenance, household budgets — we manage the day-to-day so your home just works, without you having to think about it.

02

Private Staff Placement

Finding the right person for your home is personal. We recruit and vet estate managers, housekeepers, chefs, nannies, butlers, chauffeurs — every role, personally screened for skill and character.

03

Concierge Services

Private itineraries, exclusive access, catering, events, private chefs — we take care of the things you shouldn’t have to think about. Tell us what you want. We’ll make it happen.

04

Security & Smart Home

We partner with the top security and smart home technology companies to bring the right systems into your home — on your terms, at your pace, without disruption to your life.

05

Vendor & Property Oversight

We manage every vendor relationship — landscapers, pool services, contractors — so you don’t have to chase anyone down. Your property is protected, and your time is yours.

06

Multi-Estate Management

Primary home, vacation property, investment estate — we keep every one of them running smoothly, so you can arrive at any of them and just enjoy it.

08

Private Dock & Boat Care

We know how difficult it is to find the right care for your vessel — so we’ve got you covered. Our knowledgeable, locally based captains and boating crew bring first-hand expertise and direct relationships with marinas, storage facilities, and service crews. Whether your boat is in the water, on a buoy, on a lift, at a dock, or in storage — we keep it maintained, protected, and ready to go in the most pristine shape. We also program lifts and handle any kind of dock maintenance.

07

Emergency Preparedness

We work with private companies to prepare your home for fires, earthquakes, and flooding before they happen. When you’re ready, we can walk you through what makes sense for your property.

A Service Unlike Any Other

Custom Estate
House Manuals

There is an art to running a home — and we have documented it. Estate Luxury Management creates fully custom house manuals for every property we serve: beautifully organized, intuitive to use, and tailored down to every switch, system, and service contact on your estate. Whether you manage one home or several, our manuals bring clarity, confidence, and calm to everyone who steps inside.

Custom printed house manual for luxury estates

Physical Edition

Printed House Manual

A custom-designed, professionally printed manual bearing your estate name and address. Presented in an elegant format worthy of the home it documents — covering every system, appliance, and protocol in clear, organized detail. The kind of reference that stays on the desk and gets used every day.

Digital house manual for luxury estates

Digital Edition

Digital House Manual

A sleek, interactive digital guide built specifically for your property and accessible from any device. Organized by category — thermostats, lighting and shades, TV and sound, kitchen appliances, pool, sauna, and more — with everything a guest, caretaker, or staff member needs, exactly when they need it.

We create custom manuals for every type of property and occasion:

01

Primary Residences

02

Vacation & Investment Properties

03

Luxury Rental Estates

04

Arrival & Welcome Handbooks

05

Seasonal Closing & Winterizing Guides

06

Staff Onboarding & Operations Manuals

Every manual is built around three questions: How do I use it? When does it need care? Who do I call?

Step-by-step instructions for every system and appliance
Maintenance schedules and seasonal checklists
Preferred vendor and service contact directory
Smart home: thermostats, lighting, shades, security
Pool, spa, sauna, and steam room protocols
Kitchen appliance guides and care instructions
TV, AV, and sound system walk-throughs
Emergency procedures and utility shutoff locations
Arrival and departure checklists for staff
Winterizing and property close-down protocols
Custom branded with your estate name and address
Updated as your home and systems evolve

Pricing & Investment

Every estate is different — and every manual reflects that. Pricing is custom-quoted based on the square footage of your property and the number of systems, amenities, and areas to be documented. The result is a one-of-a-kind resource that pays for itself in time saved, stress avoided, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is organized to the highest standard.

Why Estate Luxury Management

Confidence.
Peace of Mind.

Most of our clients come to us through word of mouth — a reflection of the trust we’ve built over the years. Some engagements are project-based, others evolve into long-term relationships, and many of the staff we’ve placed have become lasting members of the families they serve.

We bring an optimistic, energetic energy to every engagement — and it’s contagious. It is a privilege for us to serve, and that joy shows in everything we do. No problem is too complex, no request too small. We show up with solutions, with enthusiasm, and with a genuine belief that every detail matters. Serving you is not a job to us. It is our greatest joy.
