1. What roles do you recruit for?

The Estate Agency recruits across a wide range of private staffing roles, including positions within private households and family offices. This includes estate managers, house managers, executive assistants, personal assistants, private chefs, butlers, nannies, housekeepers, and chauffeurs, as well as specialists in aviation and yachting.

Each search is different, and roles are often shaped by the specific needs of the household or principal. Our goal is to connect you with opportunities that align not only with your experience, but with how you prefer to work and the environments where you’ll thrive.

2. What geographic areas do you service?

We place candidates in roles nationwide across the United States. Many of the opportunities we manage involve relocation or travel, particularly for private households with multiple residences or family offices operating across locations. We’ll always discuss location and travel expectations early in the process to ensure alignment.

3. How do I apply for a role through The Estate Agency?

The best way to get started is by sharing your information with our team. A recruiter will then review your background and reach out if there’s a current or upcoming opportunity that aligns with your experience. Not all roles are publicly listed, so we often connect with candidates as relevant searches arise. In many cases, our initial conversations happen before a specific role is formally introduced.

4. Will The Estate Agency help me prepare for interviews?

Yes, we provide guidance throughout the interview process. This may include resume feedback and context around the role and household so you know what to expect. We aim to make sure you feel informed and confident going into each step.

We’ve found that even small adjustments in how candidates present their experience can make a meaningful difference in private service environments.
