Private property management · While you're away
I'm Megan. I manage private homes for people who are rarely in them. I fly in ahead of you and get the house ready: opened, stocked, working, then keep it maintained through the months you're away, so it's ready the next time you land. Executive support alongside, when you need it.

Remote-first. I travel to the property, anywhere in the world.
Call it home watch, vacant-home care or absentee property management. It's the same promise: your home looked after properly, whether you're in it or not.
I fly in ahead of you and get the house ready, so you walk into a home that works from the first minute.
In the months you're not there, I keep the home looked after. Proper home watch means nothing's neglected and it's ready the moment you next land.
Ten years as a private EA sits behind all of this. When you need it, I run the day-to-day too: the diary, the travel, the bookings, the life around the home, all to the same standard.
A setup from empty, a relocation, a fit-out, or a single brief with a clear deadline. Scoped, quoted and delivered, then handed back complete.
In over a decade across fashion houses, private members' clubs, family offices and superyachts, I've done nearly everything an operation can need, from building business pillars and org charts to hiring staff, running fit-outs and delivering events. If the thing you need isn't on this page, ask me. Chances are I've done it, and if I haven't, I'll tell you straight.
The set-up and the bigger fixes can't be done down a phone line. A home opened and made ready from scratch. A renovation the contractor keeps stalling. A handover that needs witnessing. A property standing empty in a city where you have no one.
For those, I come to you or the property and stay as long as the work takes, whether a fortnight or a full season. I've done this on the ground in Rome, Dubai and Bangkok, and I'll travel anywhere in the world the work calls for.
A few of the places I've worked. I travel anywhere in the world. Travel priced separately, below.
Ongoing care of your home while you're away: checked, maintained and ready whenever you return.
One job with a clear start and finish: a setup, a relocation, or a single deliverable that has to happen.
On the ground, wherever the work is, for as long as it takes: a fortnight or a season.
For owners who let their place short-term and want it handled end to end: listing, pricing, bookings, guest messaging, turnarounds and upkeep. You keep the income; I do the work, for a share of what it earns.
A full scope of service is shared before we start, so everyone's clear from day one.
Thirty minutes to talk through what you need. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
Two weeks, a fixed fee and real work, so you see how I operate before either of us commits.
Retainer, project or on-site, with thirty days' notice on either side.
And I've done the jobs myself. I know every role in a household first-hand:
Full references on request. Current principal kept private.
From Chief Assistant to private-office EA, across fashion, hospitality and family offices.
"I had complete confidence that everything was being handled to a high standard."
"We would be fighting to keep Megan."
"Professional and efficient; hardworking and dedicated to her principals."
Full written references from private property clients, Stella McCartney, 5 Hertford Street and Caprice Holdings & Birley Group available on request.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. If I'm not the right person for it, I'll say so and point you somewhere better. I work with a select few principals at a time, so each gets my genuine attention. If we're a good fit, I'll make room for you.
Discretion is the job. Names stay off this page, and what happens in a client's home stays there. Happy to sign an NDA before we speak.
