Hire an estate manager in Palm Beach

HomeHire is a self-service marketplace, not an agency: families in Palm Beach describe the work, review profiles and make their own hiring decisions. Free for families until January 2027, and candidates never pay.

Palm Beach estate management can involve a single substantial residence with year-round maintenance needs even when the family is seasonal. Before hiring, separate that one-estate responsibility from oversight of additional homes in West Palm Beach, Jupiter or elsewhere.

Owner arrivals, household staffing and specialist vendor work need a coordinated calendar and a clear reporting line. Island access and mainland sourcing are practical planning issues, but the role should not imply the manager personally performs licensed building, marine or security services.

What the estate manager role involves in Palm Beach

Document budget authority, staff supervision, contractor approvals and the records the owner expects. Establish an agreed plan for severe-weather communications and urgent decisions, without converting ordinary employment into unspecified round-the-clock availability.

How to hire directly in Palm Beach

Start with a household brief that names the role, general location, duties, hours and pay. Keep exact addresses, entry codes and children's personal details private; a public listing requires the family's choice to publish.

Review candidate-stated experience, availability and preferences, then request an introduction where the workflow permits it. Interview, discuss references and agree lawful working terms directly; a profile or introduction is not an endorsement.

Families hire directly and do their own checks, including references, identity and right to work. Payroll support is through our partner, subject to confirmed availability.

The hiring family is the employer. HomeHire does not employ household workers, run payroll or hold wages. Worker pay is agreed separately and is never reduced by a HomeHire candidate fee.
