FAQ About Domestic Staffing
-
Precise Home Management opened in 1998 after Mr. Lowrey’s role as a butler came to an end.
-
Mr. Lowrey’s hospitality journey began in 4-star hotels in the UK, followed by eight years working on cruise ships. He then owned and operated a tea room in Ely, Cambridgeshire, for three years. Afterward, he served as Head Steward aboard a private 345-foot yacht based in Monaco. In 1990, he accepted a role as a butler at a 25,000 sq ft estate in Baltimore, Maryland, built for Alfred Vanderbilt. In February 1998, he founded Precise Home Management.
-
Having worked personally in private homes as a butler and estate manager gives Mr. Lowrey and our team an insider’s perspective on what truly works—and what doesn’t—within a household.
-
While we have placed private service professionals within a week, realistically you should allow one to two months.
-
The vetting process begins the moment we receive a phone call or résumé. We first assess whether applicants follow our application procedures carefully.
Because standard background checks alone are, in our opinion, insufficient to ensure your family’s safety, we partner with a leading independent investigator to conduct a full background investigation. This includes extensive character and integrity checks to uncover any hidden criminal or derogatory behavior.
-
Our placement guarantee is 60 days. We have found this time frame sufficient for both employer and employee to determine if it is a good match.
-
The positions we place typically fall within these ranges:
Housekeepers: $80k–$120k
Chefs: $80k–$200k+
Couples teams: $160k–$225k+
House Managers: $120k–$160k
Estate Managers: $160k–$225k+
-
Health care is important. If the client can provide a health care plan through their company, that is ideal; otherwise, a healthcare stipend toward a personal plan is acceptable.
Additionally, small gestures such as a card and cake on birthdays are appreciated. An end-of-year bonus, typically one month’s salary or more based on performance and cost savings, is also strongly recommended.
-
No. Rent should not be charged or deducted from an employee who is provided with housing. That said, because each placement is unique, there are cases where terms can be discussed and negotiated to a mutually successful agreement.
-
Maintaining a healthy employer-employee relationship is key. This includes setting clear boundaries, fostering mutual respect, offering a Christmas bonus, and conducting annual salary and performance reviews. We recommend a six-month performance evaluation followed by a full end-of-year review.
