Property Maintenance Manager: Live-In vs Live-Out

 

Live-In Property Maintenance Manager

    • 24/7 availability for urgent repairs, system failures, or emergencies.
    • Continuous oversight of estate systems, grounds, and technical infrastructure.
    • Builds deeper familiarity with property layout, equipment, and routines.
  • Best for:
    • Large estates or multiple on-site facilities (pool, gym, guesthouses).
    • Properties in remote locations with limited contractor availability.
    • Clients who require constant operational readiness for entertaining or travel.

 

Live-Out Property Maintenance Manager

  • Residence: Lives off-site, attending the estate on a scheduled basis.
  • Advantages:
    • Greater family privacy when no maintenance is required.
    • Flexibility to manage multiple estates or rotate across properties.
    • Can be supplemented with on-call vendors or rotational staff.
  • Best for:
    • Clients who prefer lower-profile property management.
    • Estates with established maintenance teams requiring oversight, not full-time presence.
    • Multi-property portfolios where the manager rotates between locations.

 

Summary:

  • Live-In PMMs ensure constant supervision and rapid response, ideal for complex estates.
