Luxury Estate Management in Miami, for the months you're not there
Your residence is inspected, maintained and ready on the day you arrive. One accountable team looks after the house, the staff and the vendors while you're away, from Miami Beach to Palm Beach.
A home that's lived in part of the year still needs care all year
South Florida's humidity, salt air and storm season don't pause when a house is empty. Problems that start small, like a blocked condensate line, a slow leak or a failing pool pump, become expensive when nobody is there to catch them.
- Seasonal and second-home owners who split the year between Miami and another city
- International owners managing a South Florida residence from abroad
- Families with household staff who need one point of coordination
- Owners in the middle of a renovation who can't be on site
- Family offices and representatives overseeing a client's residence

The details that make a house feel looked after
Alongside the property itself, we take care of the small recurring tasks that usually fall on the owner.
From first walk-through to routine care
Private consultation
We discuss the residence, how often you're there, your staff and what matters most to you.
Baseline inspection
A full documented walk-through of every room and system, photographed and stored in your portal.
Residence manual
We record how the house should be kept: settings, preferences, vendors, access and arrival routine.
Ongoing care
Scheduled inspections, short bulleted updates with photos, and owner approval before any work above an agreed amount.
"A high-value property owner should never have to ask what's happening at their home. They should already know."Ruth Mizrahi, Founder & CEO
A Coconut Grove owner living in Colombia relied on texts and a neighbor's occasional check-ins. A slow roof leak went unnoticed for weeks during rainy season.
A named maintenance manager, a named communications coordinator, a full photographic baseline inspection and portal access from day one.
Scheduled walk-throughs caught a failing AC condensate drain and early salt-air damage on a window seal. Both were fixed before they became costly.

Estate management FAQ
What is luxury estate management?
It's the ongoing care of a private residence on the owner's behalf: scheduled inspections, maintenance, staff and vendor coordination, security response and preparing the home for the owner's arrival. Unlike rental property management, the goal is preserving the home and the owner's experience of it, not generating rental income.
How is this different from your Luxury Property Management service?
Luxury Property Management is for owners who rent their home and focuses on revenue, licensing and guest operations. Private Estate Management is for owners who keep the residence for themselves and want it protected and ready while they're away. Some owners combine both.
How often do you inspect the home?
Weekly is the standard for most residences, which is the cadence many insurers expect for unoccupied Florida homes. We can increase frequency during hurricane season, renovations or before an arrival. Every visit is logged with timestamped photos in your portal. Check your own policy's requirements and we'll match them.
Can you work with my existing housekeeper, gardener or pool company?
Yes. We can supervise your current staff and vendors, replace those who aren't meeting the standard, or fill gaps from our pre-vetted network. Either way, you have one point of contact.
What happens if there's an emergency at night?
Our team handles after-hours emergencies such as alarms, water leaks and power or AC failures. We coordinate the response, document what happened and keep you updated until it's resolved.
Do you need my approval before spending money?
Yes. We agree a threshold with you at onboarding. Anything above it requires your documented approval before work is scheduled, except for urgent issues that threaten the property, which we address immediately and report right away.
How much does estate management cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the residence, inspection frequency and which services you include. We provide a fixed monthly quote after the private consultation and baseline walk-through. See what management costs in Miami for general context.
Do you serve owners who live outside the United States?
Many of our owners live abroad. The owner portal, bilingual team and documented approval workflow are built so you can oversee the residence fully from anywhere.
