British American Household Staffing
An estate manager is required when there are large, multi-property estates owned by a family. The estate manager should be polished and professional and act as the face of the family – they are the gatekeeper or liaison between the world and the principals. Estate managers are in a strong position of leadership and are responsible for overseeing the domestic staff. They also oversee and manage the many services taking place in and around the homes of the estate. We are an estate manager staffing agency with a meticulous strategy for finding the perfect fit for your household, whether you’re looking for a live-in nanny, a housekeeper, a butler, estate manager or house manager. You need it, we have it! Contact us to start the process of hiring an estate manager. An estate manager’s focus is securely on the bigger picture, making sure that each home runs consistently and efficiently. They are expected to have strong communication skills and a strong assertive presence leading those around them and setting the tone for the work environment. An estate manager is not only the head of the household but also the eyes and ears, making sure the house managers and other household staff are collectively following the policies and procedures to run a tight ship in the home effectively. Private estate managers become a trusted right hand to the principals and can be involved in real-estate purchases/sales, yacht builds/staffing, and communicating firsthand with the aviation team. Estate managers may become involved with art curators from the point of purchase through installation. Learn more about the process for hiring household staff here.
