A Miami house manager keeps seasonal and year-round homes running: vendors, staff, waterfront upkeep and storm preparation; describe the role in a confidential brief and hire directly.

A Miami house manager often runs a waterfront or high-rise residence with vendors the family rarely sees: pool, dock, HVAC, security and building management. In a seasonal home the job includes opening and closing the house and keeping it ready while the family is away.

Hurricane season adds planning work, from shutters and outdoor furniture to generator checks and vendor availability. Describe what the manager can approve alone, the spending limits and whether other staff report to them.
