Weekly house watch for vacant luxury homes in Bend and Central Oregon, with concierge arrival support when you’re on your way back. Licensed, bonded and insured.
We keep the space between visits quiet, controlled and elevated. We came together as friends and entrepreneurs with backgrounds in luxury service — building and design, house watch, real estate and event planning — and years of second-home and house management for elite clients and founders. We understand structure, we know home systems, and we’re familiar with countless home inspections and reports, so we know how to identify concerning occurrences before they become costly ones.
Your home is your investment and your retreat. We protect both.
As a licensed, bonded and insured home management operation, we thoroughly inspect your property with a trained eye and a detailed checklist:
Whether it’s your second home or your fourth, every week brings a meticulous, documented visit, with the report delivered to you wherever in the world you happen to be.
Interior and exterior, every room and every system, reviewed weekly.
Mail and deliveries received, consolidated and handled to your preference.
Cans out and back on schedule, never a hint of vacancy.
Grounds, structure, systems and finishes, documented season by season.
Storm readiness, thermostats tuned and true seasonal care while you’re away.
We talk through the home, your travel patterns, access, systems and expectations.
We walk the property with you to fully understand your needs and set the care plan.
We inspect, report, coordinate and respond, so your home is protected and every arrival is ready.
Opening your home, stocking provisions, coordinating transport and personal chef options for arrival day — plus tickets, adventures and event planning. Our vendors and service partners are fully vetted, trusted and quick to respond. We project manage every offering so your needs are handled to perfection.
We are community members and entrepreneurs who have spent years inside the world of vacation homes and second, third, or fourth residences. Between us: backgrounds in building and design, house watch, real estate, event planning and second-home management for elite clients and founders.
We love this business, and we’d love to schedule a call or a visit to your property to fully understand your needs — and to show you exactly where we can provide the care your home and your visits deserve.
Kirsten has spent 25 years in construction, building, remodeling and designing homes. She has managed the contractors, permits, projects and upgrades, and chosen the fixtures, finishes and systems that make a home work as beautifully as it looks. There is very little in a house she hasn’t built, fixed or chosen herself.
Danielle spent years as a top-producing broker selling luxury homes, and she knows them inside and out, along with the contractors, vendors and deadlines behind every sale. Her market rewarded one skill above all: anticipating what a client needs a step before they ask, and delivering it with an unfailingly high touch.
Home watch is the scheduled, professional inspection of your home while you’re away. On every visit we walk the full interior and exterior, check systems like heating, plumbing and security, look for water intrusion, pests and storm damage, and send you a photo report the same day, so small issues never become expensive ones.
We serve Bend, Sunriver, Sisters, Redmond, Black Butte Ranch, Brasada Ranch and the greater Central Oregon area. If your home is nearby but outside these communities, reach out and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Most owners choose weekly visits, the cadence insurers and manufacturers commonly recommend for vacant homes. We’ll tailor the schedule to your property and season, and we add freeze checks and storm follow-ups whenever Central Oregon weather calls for them.
Yes. MG Estate Management & Concierge is licensed, bonded and insured, and we’re happy to provide documentation during your discovery call.
Everything that makes an arrival effortless: pre-arrival walkthroughs and climate set, provisioning and florals, vendor scheduling and oversight, vehicle readiness, seasonal décor, and departure closedowns. If your visit needs it, we’ll arrange it.
Start with a discovery call. We’ll then walk your property together, document its systems and your preferences, and build a care plan around how you actually use your home. From there, you arrive to a home that’s impeccably ready.
