For a small number of families across Alpine, Tenafly, Englewood Cliffs, and the Northern Valley. We hire, train, and oversee your staff, your grounds, and your contractors. You receive one invoice and answer to one person. Not a roster of vendors. One office that holds all of it.
A great house runs on a dozen quiet relationships: the landscaping crew, the housekeeper, the contractor mid-renovation, the pool service, the alarm company, the chef. Each one calls you. Each one bills you. Each one needs a decision.
What began as a home slowly becomes a second job, run from your phone, after hours. We exist to take that job off your desk entirely, and to hand it to one person who has run estates and the private lives of principals for twenty-five years.
We act as your private estate office: the single point of contact for everything that keeps the property and the household running well.
We source, vet, hire, train, schedule, and supervise your housekeepers, chefs, nannies, and drivers. Payroll, reviews, and replacements are handled quietly, usually before you would ever notice a gap.
Crews are engaged, scheduled, and held to a standard. Lawns, gardens, and the exterior of the residence are inspected on a fixed rhythm, never simply assumed to be handled.
Contractors are vetted and managed on your behalf. We sit on the site so that you do not have to, and we answer for the timeline, the budget, and the quality of the finish.
Once each week your residence is walked in full. Small failures are caught before they become expensive ones, and you receive a short, written account of what was seen and what was set right.
You pay us. We pay the crews, the trades, and the vendors directly, at cost. The entire household arrives to you as a single, itemized monthly invoice that you approve once.
Where a residence calls for a dedicated house manager or personal assistant, we place and oversee that person directly. Even your most senior staff then has someone above them, answering to you.
A flat monthly retainer for the relationship itself: the oversight, the management of people, the weekly walkthrough, and the single point of contact who is always yours.
Recurring wages, crews, and vendors are billed to you at cost, with no hidden markup. Larger construction and renovation projects carry a single, disclosed oversight fee, agreed in writing before any work begins. You always know exactly what you are paying, and why.
Each month you receive a single, itemized statement. You approve it one time. We settle everyone, on time, on your behalf, and keep the records.
This is deliberate. The work is high touch and deeply personal, and it cannot be diluted across a long client list without becoming the very thing it was meant to replace.
We accept a small number of households, by introduction and by referral, and we protect their privacy as a first principle. Every engagement begins under a mutual confidentiality agreement. Here, discretion is not a courtesy. It is the product.
Your grounds, your vendors, and the weekly walkthrough, consolidated under one office and one invoice. The home runs; you stop running it.
InquireEverything in Estate Oversight, plus the full lifecycle of household staff (hiring, training, payroll, supervision) and complete oversight of construction, renovation, and repairs. One name answers for all of it.
InquireA dedicated house manager or personal assistant, placed and supervised by us, layered onto either membership for residences that require a presence on site.
InquireMembership is set privately, after an assessment of your residence and the scope of work. Recurring staff, crews, and vendors are billed at cost; construction and renovation carry a single, disclosed oversight fee. Permanent staff placements are arranged through an affiliated search practice and billed separately. Nothing is hidden, and nothing is quietly marked up.
We keep a tight geography on purpose, so that we can be present, often and on short notice.
Adjacent estates considered by arrangement.
This office is led by a senior household and family-office executive with more than twenty-five years managing the estates, the staff, and the private lives of principals at the highest level: founders and technology leaders, financial and corporate executives, figures in national media, and individuals in public and government life.
With that work comes one non-negotiable condition. Every engagement is governed by a mutual confidentiality agreement, signed before anything begins. Names are never traded, never referenced, and never used to win the next family. The discretion you are paying for is the same discretion that protected the last principal, and the one before.
The arrangement is personal by design. You should know exactly one name, and that name should be enough.
