Expanded FAQ
We are a curated national directory of individually vetted fractional estate managers, personal assistants, lifestyle managers, and household project professionals. Every member brings proven experience serving high net worth and ultra high net worth families. The network exists because the finest estate management professionals are not found through general search; they operate quietly, by reputation, in specific luxury markets. We make them discoverable to
discerning owners.
Fractional estate management gives you the full competency of a senior estate management professional without the commitment of a full time salaried hire. You receive expert oversight, vendor coordination, and lifestyle support scaled precisely to your needs, with no payroll, no human resources complexity, and complete flexibility to increase or reduce service as your life changes.
A property management company typically dispatches whoever is available to perform scheduled tasks. A network member is a seasoned private service professional who knows your home, your standards, and your preferences well enough to act on your behalf without a detailed briefing each time. The relationship is continuous and personal rather than transactional, and the standard is that of a private estate, not a rental property.
Vetting Trust
Vetting Trust
Every professional completes a multi-step review before being listed: a personal interview with founder Andrew Beardsley, a signed nondisclosure agreement, a formal application, an independent background check, verified professional references, and proof of at least $2 million in general liability insurance. Payment alone never secures a listing; every member must clear the full review.
Discretion sits at the heart of private service and of network membership. Every member signs a nondisclosure agreement as a condition of joining, is screened in part for a record of confidentiality, and tailors privacy and security protocols to each family’s circumstances.
Because clients choose their professional directly, you’re free to contact another member serving your market at any time. If no other member covers your area, reach out to the network and we will help you find a qualified professional.
Yes. Each member passes an independent background check and must carry a minimum of $2 million in general liability coverage, with a current certificate of insurance on file with the network.

Annually. Each member renews proof of insurance and state law compliance every year, and directory listings show the date a credential was last verified.

Cost & Getting Started
Cost & Getting Started
Fees vary by market, property size, service frequency, and scope, and each member sets independent terms. As a general guide, monthly engagements in major markets commonly range from several thousand dollars upward, with monitoring of seasonal or owner absent properties often priced separately. We are glad to clarify ranges for your specific market and needs on an introductory call.
Start with the market you own in. Visit the relevant state or location page, review the members who serve your region, and reach out. If you are unsure which member fits, contact the network directly and we will guide the match.
Contacting a member from their listing reaches that professional directly. From there you will have an introductory conversation to discuss your properties, your priorities, and the scope that fits, with no obligation. If you are unsure which member fits, contact the network and we will guide the match. The goal of that first call is simply to determine whether the fit is right.
