WHAT DOES DISTINCT ESTATE CONSULTING DO?

At Distinct Estate Consulting, we provide concierge-level estate management and advisory services for luxury homeowners who use their properties for personal enjoyment rather than as rentals.

WHAT TYPES OF PROPERTIES DO YOU MANAGE?

We specialize in luxury secondary and vacation residences. These are typically privately owned estates that require ongoing maintenance, vendor coordination, and pre-arrival preparation — but are not short-term rentals.

HOW IS DISTINCT ESTATE CONSULTING DIFFERENT FROM A TRADITIONAL PROPERTY MANAGER?

All proposals are discussed confidentially and approved before services begin.
