What is included in an estate management membership?
A membership gives you ongoing operational oversight of your home: structured check-ins, clear reporting, vendor coordination, maintenance tracking, and proactive planning. Inclusions vary by tier (for example: visit frequency, response time, and the depth of vendor and financial management).
What’s the difference between the membership tiers?
Each tier typically differs in:
- Level of involvement (advisory vs hands-on execution)
- On-site visit frequency
- Response times
- Vendor management depth (quotes only vs full scheduling and supervision)
- Reporting detail (high-level exceptions vs full operational reporting)
- Scope of maintenance planning (reactive support vs preventative maintenance schedules)
Do I need a membership if I already have household staff?
Yes, memberships often work best with staff. Your membership provides structure: standards, scheduling, vendor control, preventative maintenance, and accountability. It reduces dependence on one key staff member and protects continuity during leave or turnover.
Do you manage vendors and contractors?
Yes, vendor support is a core part of estate management. Depending on your tier, this may include requesting quotes, comparison and recommendations, scheduling, site supervision, quality checks, and sign-off against agreed standards.
Is there on-site support, or is it remote only?
Most memberships combine remote management (planning, coordination, reporting) with on-site visits (inspections, vendor supervision, standards checks). Visit frequency depends on the tier and your property’s needs.
What locations do you cover?
Cape Town City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs, Winelands and surrounds.
What kind of reporting will I receive?
Reporting is designed to be clear and useful, not long. Depending on tier, you’ll receive:
- Open actions and maintenance tickets
- Vendor updates and ETAs
- Photos where needed (media-backed QA)
- Spend summaries and items needing approval
- Exceptions and risks (what needs attention)
Is there a minimum term?
Most memberships have a minimum commitment (commonly 3 or 12 months) to allow systems to settle and results to show. Month-to-month may be available after the initial term.
