House Management
House Management
Full-service oversight of your property — housekeeping, vendors, maintenance, deliveries, inspections. One accountable point of contact.
About This Service
House management is best understood as a fractional estate manager — without the cost of a full-time hire. We are the single accountable team that ensures your house works.
House management is more than cleaning — it’s the difference between owning a home and managing one. Our house management service is a single accountable team that coordinates housekeeping, maintenance, vendors, deliveries, and inspections so your property runs whether you’re there or not.
Ideal for primary residences with significant staff coordination needs, secondary homes that need opening/closing, and clients who travel frequently.

Who is house management for?
House management from FJ Luxury Services is one accountable team that keeps a Los Angeles home running: housekeeping, vendors, maintenance, deliveries and inspections, with a written report every month. It suits owners who want the work of an estate manager without hiring one full time.
- Primary residences with several vendors and staff to coordinate.
- Second homes in Malibu, Bel Air or the Hollywood Hills that sit empty for weeks and need opening and closing.
- Owners who travel often and want someone checking the house while they are away.
- Family offices and estate managers who need one vendor across several properties. See cleaning and house management for property managers and family offices.
Should you hire a house manager or a house management company?
A house manager is an employee you hire, train, pay and replace. A house management company is a contracted team that answers for the same work, with the staff, insurance and backup already in place. Which one fits depends on how much of the job is the house and how much is the family.
| In-house house manager | House management company (FJ) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who employs the staff | You: hiring, payroll and replacement | The company |
| Coverage when someone is sick or on leave | Usually none | The team covers it |
| Best at | Personal and family tasks every day on site | The property: vendors, inspections, cleaning, opening and closing |
| Insurance and vetting | Your responsibility | Insured, bonded and background-checked team |
| Reporting | Whatever you set up | Monthly written report |
Many clients use both: a house manager for the family and our team as the accountable layer for the property. If you are leaning toward a hire, read how to hire a house manager for your estate. If you want the work handled without adding an employee, read what an outsourced estate manager in Los Angeles does.

When does a home need a house manager?
Most owners call us after one of these situations: a vendor missed a visit and nobody noticed, a delivery waited at the gate for hours, a second home was found with a problem weeks after it started, or the owner spends more time coordinating staff than living in the house. If any of these sounds familiar, a weekly inspection and one accountable contact usually solve it.

More questions about house management

A house manager is one employee you hire and supervise. A house management company is a contracted, insured team that covers the same property work, including absences, and reports to you in writing every month.
Can you manage my home while I travel?
Yes. We inspect the property weekly, every two weeks or on the schedule you choose, handle deliveries and contractor access, and report back after each visit that matters.
Do you open and close second homes?
Yes. Second-home opening and closing protocols are part of the service, including cleaning and restocking of consumables before you arrive.
