Whether it’s overseeing the daily operations of a large home or hiring accountants to manage household finances, the role of the estate manager has grown to include a number of important responsibilities. Selecting the right individual for the job is vital to ensure the estate will run like a well-oiled machine. For 50 years, Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing has been the San Francisco Bay area’s go-to source for an experienced roster of staffers who have the training, certification, attention to detail, and personalized touch to get the job done right.
If you’re considering hiring an estate manager, it’s important to consider their qualifications. The best ones are versatile, flexible, and have the ability to multi-task a variety of responsibilities. They follow their client’s desired wishes down to the smallest of details.
Specifically, estate managers tend to have a college or advanced degree with specialized training and experience in hotel or private home environments. They are often former human resource managers — a profession known for recruiting, interviewing, and hiring top-quality candidates. In addition to having leadership or senior management roles, estate managers are able to work independently and with teams to ensure projects are delegated and completed.
Estate managers are also up-to-date on the latest technology, including mobile and web-based communication and networks. This is combined with astute skills in finance management, planning, and organizational procedures. They are able to use important negotiation skills to secure the best rates for products and services as well as selecting appropriate vendors for household matters.
On the social end, a well-rounded estate manager has experience working with families and individuals, and is very familiar with etiquette practices and cultural norms. They are generally well-traveled, are multi-lingual, and highly familiar with luxury items such as expensive antiques and artwork.
