What is an Estate Manager?
An estate manager is a professional who oversees the management of a property. Estate manager’s typically work with a team of other professionals, such as the family office, maintenance staff, groundskeepers, and security personnel, to ensure that your household operates smoothly.
Like the chief of staff, estate manager’s handle all aspects of a large estate, including the grounds, vendors, and staff needed to maintain the property or estate. Unlike the chief of staff, the estate manager does not manage many estate managers across multiple properties.
The Benefits of Having an Estate Manager
There are many benefits to having estate manager’s within your family staff. An estate manager can save you time and money by managing your property efficiently and effectively. They can also provide peace of mind by ensuring that your property is well-maintained and secure.
The benefits of estate management go well beyond that of a property manager. With estate management, you get the benefits of a property manager and household manager but with the management style of a CEO.
An estate manager will assist a UHNW family with many important services, from managing finances and property upkeep to organizing events and providing security.
