You Get Your Time Back. I Handle Everything Else.
Your time at the property should be spent with your family, not on the phone with a contractor. I watch the home, manage the vendors, and handle the small things before they reach you.
One Person for the Whole Property
On Lake Norman and in Charlotte the work falls into six areas, and I hold all of them together.
Regular Property Inspections & Home Watch
Walkthroughs every week, or every other week for smaller homes, with a written report after each one.
- HVAC, plumbing, and electrical checks
- Security and irrigation systems
- Vehicles started and tested
Vendor & Contractor Coordination
Every provider vetted, scheduled, and checked, so the work is done properly at a fair price.
- Contractor vetting and scheduling
- Work quality inspections
- One monthly statement for every invoice
Hands-On Maintenance
I do the routine work myself and diagnose problems before a trade is called.
- Light repairs and punch-list items
- Filter, bulb, and battery replacements
- Often same day, between vendor visits
Emergency Response, Including Weekends & Holidays
Between visits, I assess the problem, contain it where I can, and get the right people moving.
- On-site assessment and containment
- Troubleshooting and temporary repairs
Boat, Dock & Lift Care
Docks, lifts, and boats are mechanical systems with their own seasons, and most estate managers do not cover them.
- Boat and watercraft maintenance coordination
- Seasonal winterization services
- Dock and lift management
Concierge & Lifestyle
Arriving, leaving, and everything in between, handled the way you like it.
- Arrival preparation and departure resets
- Errands and personal shopping
- Mail and packages
- Household staff coordination
It all comes in one plan. The mix shifts with how often you use the home.
How it works
The First Conversation
A call or a visit to work out what the home needs and how many hours a month that takes.
Onboarding
I document the systems, line up the vendors, and build the checklists.
Ongoing Oversight
Weekly visits, vendors, small repairs, and systems serviced on time.
Arrive to a home that's ready
No surprises, and no vacation days spent on the phone.
A good fit
- Second homes on Lake Norman that sit empty for weeks at a time
- Primary residences with pools, generators, staff, or projects
- Waterfront homes with boats, docks, and lifts
Not what I do
Rental property management: tenants, rent, and leases.
One-off jobs with no ongoing oversight. A good local handyman is the better call.
Having grown up following my father into the estates he managed, I spent the next fifteen years managing yachts and estates around the world, from the South of France to the US. Now I bring that experience to the Lake Norman and Charlotte areas.
Today I work as an estate manager with Alerion Estate Management. A team of administrators, organizers, and property assistants works behind me.
