What I'm looking for
I am an accomplished and highly discreet estate and property manager with over 15 years overseeing high-value private residential estates for high-net-worth individuals and families. I specialize in comprehensive property operations, preventative maintenance, vendor and contractor management, and staff leadership to preserve and enhance asset value.
My experience spans multi-residence, high-acreage properties and boutique retreat operations, where I implemented preventative maintenance schedules that reduced repair costs by 15% and oversaw major system upgrades such as heating and cooling installations. I consistently negotiate favorable vendor contracts, manage renovations and landscaping projects, and ensure immaculate grounds and household presentation.
I bring a strong focus on confidentiality, proactive problem-solving, and concierge-level service—coordinating travel, events, and principal requests while maintaining the highest standards of discretion and professionalism.
