second home property management
Bespoke Properties offers second home management services on either a monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly retainer basis so that looking after your vacation property is completely worry-free and at the frequency you need. Together, we build a personalized inspection checklist for your property to ensure the home and any vehicles are secure and functioning properly, and to help avoid any potential future issues. We report to you weekly or monthly via email or text and include digital photography when needed to point out any issues that may require attention.
