As keepers of the household’s standards, Estate Managers are responsible for overseeing every aspect of the home’s readiness, from safety checks to aesthetic presentation. Their efforts help to ensure a seamless transition, allowing the family to immediately enjoy their winter home. This checklist will help make sure nothing is overlooked when moving to a seasonal residence.
When developing an asset management system, Estate Managers should consider whether their current program can grow with the estate, adapt to changes in ownership, and support broader planning efforts.
Zoning serves two primary roles within an estate: operational zoning and service zoning. Operational zoning addresses the physical structure and movement within the property, supporting security, vendor movements, environmental operations, and maintenance. Service zoning is the working foundation of the daily schedule, determining how each space is assigned, cleaned, and cared for. These two systems work together to create a manageable, efficient, and aware household environment.
