An Estate Manager is one of the top positions in private service. But, most of the people confuse it with hotel butlers, housekeepers and chief stewards of houses. As the term Estate Manager is one of the most widely known terms in the business, so in order to take this advantage, most of the people with an experience of maintaining a household call themselves an Estate Manager. “EM” is the abbreviation famous for Estate Manager. Apart from Estate Manager, terms like “Staff Chief”, “Property Director” is also used in terms of introducing an Estate Manager. An Estate Manager needs to get in touch with a huge number of employees with a different background.
Functions of Estate Manager
In a household, Estate Manager is at the top level. EM manages and executes the overall management of property working directly with the owners. They try to fulfil the requirement of the owners at each location which was assigned to them. EM can be considered as CEO of the organisation where he or she is working at. The organisation here stands for large or number of homes EM is managing. They have to set the job standard and are required to hire, train and manage the staff needed to meet the services in the household. Along with personnel management, there are many administrative roles like budget, accounts and payroll that an EM needs to handle. Some of the other important functions that are being catered by EM are handling attorneys, curators, accountants, pilots, financial advisors, architects and many more. An EM is also responsible for planning and executing events for the owner. This event can be for few or hundreds of people. The EM has to coordinate with event planners, top caterers, service staff and entertainment agencies for that. All this suggest that Estate Manager is more a management job rather than service provider.
