What is an Estate?
In the context of home care, an estate refers to a larger, more complex property that requires comprehensive oversight beyond standard home watch services.
5,000+ Square Feet
Estate Management is designed for properties of this size and larger
Properties of this scale often feature multiple buildings, expansive grounds, pools, docks, guest houses, and sophisticated systems that demand coordinated management. The complexity of maintaining these residences requires a dedicated team approach rather than individual home watch visits.
If your property is under 5,000 square feet, our Home Watch services may be a better fit for your needs.
