The summary below offers a starting point for understanding what each position typically involves and how compensation is generally framed for the high-net-worth families and private estates we serve.
The most senior household role. Estate managers oversee staff, vendors, budgets, and the overall operation of a property, often across multiple residences. Compensation reflects experience, scope, and the complexity of the estate; positions typically include comprehensive benefits and may include housing.
Day-to-day responsibility for the physical property: maintenance, vendor coordination, project oversight, grounds, and seasonal preparation. Compensation depends on the size of the property and whether the role is full-time on-site or part-time managing a single residence.
Often a year-round role, frequently live-in. Caretakers steward the property in the owner's absence, manage routine upkeep, and coordinate with vendors. Compensation typically includes housing on the property as part of the package.
Focused on the interior operation of the home: housekeeping standards, scheduling, household supplies, guest preparation, and supporting the family in residence. Compensation reflects the complexity of the household and whether the role is live-in or live-out.
