When you are away, your home is looked after by someone you trust. I provide private home watch and concierge care for fine waterfront homes and luxury condominiums — scheduled visits as often as your property requires, never full-time staff. Every visit ends with a documented checklist and photo report, and your home is ready the day you land.
My clients are concentrated in the streets I know best as a real estate advisor. In Miami Beach 33141: Biscayne Point, Stillwater Drive, Daytonia Road, Cleveland Road and Normandy Shores, together with the islands of North Bay Village — Treasure Island, Harbor Island and North Bay Island. In Miami 33138: Belle Meade, Belle Meade Island and Shorecrest in the Upper Eastside. I also care for oceanfront condominiums in Sunny Isles Beach, and homes in Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands.
Knowing these neighborhoods matters more than it sounds. I know which streets take on water, which seawalls are ageing, which buildings have strict access rules, and which vendors actually turn up.
A limited portfolio, by private consultation only. Je parle français.
Weekly, bi-weekly, or as often as your property requires — a full walkthrough inspection with a documented checklist and photo report after every visit.
Ensuring your home is meticulously prepared for your arrival, maintained during your stay, and immaculately cared for after departure
Managing repairs, landscaping, and routine upkeep — plus hurricane-season preparation and post-storm checks.
Overseeing trusted service providers for any home need, with household bill payment handled on your behalf.
Keeping your deliveries secure and organized.
Your home readied for your arrival, with concierge support arranged on request while you are in residence.
Home watch is regular, documented inspection of a home that sits empty for part of the year. I am not a full-time estate manager and I do not run household staff. I visit on a set schedule, check the things that quietly go wrong in an empty Florida house, and report back with photographs.
Most owners choose weekly or bi-weekly. Some ask for more during hurricane season or while work is underway. The schedule is built around your property, not a package.
Water intrusion and ceiling stains, air conditioning and humidity, plumbing and running toilets, refrigeration, pool water and equipment, electrical and generator status, pests, doors, windows and gates, alarm and camera function, landscaping — and anything that looks different from the previous visit.
Yes. Several clients own oceanfront apartments in Sunny Isles Beach and Miami Beach. Condominiums have their own rhythm — building access, deliveries, humidity control, association notices — and are handled accordingly.
Before a named storm your home is prepared: outdoor furniture secured, shutters or panels closed where fitted, systems checked. Afterwards I inspect and send a full photo report, usually before you have managed to reach anyone else.
Completely. I do not publish client names, addresses or fees, and I take on a small number of homes so each one is genuinely watched rather than logged.
If your Miami home sits empty for part of the year, let us talk about what it needs.
