The Missing Piece in Luxury Home Purchases

from Dear Billionaire

Imagine this...A family purchases a beautiful ski home in Aspen during the spring. Designers step in to transform the home, and the family decides to visit for the Labor Day weekend.Since this is a second home, the family believes there's no need to send the estate manager, the housekeeper, or the maintenance technician to prepare the house. (What could go wrong? It's a quick, informal weekend getaway.)As the family drives up the winding mountain road, the house looks spectacular. They step inside and every bedroom is warm, inviting, and beautifully appointed. The new bar looks stocked and ready for a fun weekend. The home feels exactly as they imagined.But then they discover...- The Wi-Fi barely reaches the bedroom, and cell service isn't much better.- Someone uses a hair dryer while the dishwasher is running; the lights go out because a breaker has tripped.- And the chef doesn't have all of the cooking utensils needed to prepare the evening meal.These aren't uncommon discoveries in a new home, but they're exactly the kinds of issues that determine whether a luxury residence truly functions the way the family expects.In this episode, I share the key question no one asked that would have helped avoid an issue-filled, first holiday visit at a newly purchased and renovated home — and why it points to the need for Operational Due Diligence.Sustainable operations require leadership as well as structure and a plan. This is what my new FRAME initiative (Framework for Residential Asset Management & Execution) is all about.
