Stepping away from your busy life to manage your second home can be overwhelming, and at times, checking off those to-do list items seems impossible. Our home management services were designed to ease your stress and take on the daunting tasks that you just don’t have time for. From checking in on your heating systems to arranging your travel plans, consider it done.
WHILE YOU’RE AWAY

Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your home is well-maintained and everything is in order. From routine check-ins to detailed preparations for your arrival, we ensure your home is ready for you to enjoy without any worries.
- Stocking your refrigerator: Avoid the annoyance of waiting in line at the grocery store and send us your grocery lists. We’ll make sure you come home to a full fridge, stocked with your favorite foods. Want a summer vegetable or herb garden? We can manage that too.
- Making dinner reservations: Plan ahead and contact our concierge services to locate restaurants you’ve been dying to try. Simplified will make reservations weeks in advance so you don’t have to think about it once you get here.
- Referrals to service providers: We can connect you to the best local service providers such as landscapers and cleaners to make sure your property is well-taken care of while you’re gone. One less thing to worry about!
- Overseeing home maintenance: We understand you may be concerned about service providers not showing up on time or leaving projects unfinished. We’ll have a member of the Simplified team on-site to supervise and send updates. We’ll ensure everything is done as requested.
- Arranging your travel: Our team at Simplified is no stranger to travel. We’ll give you the most suggested travel times, purchase bus or airfare tickets, arrange car rentals, and more.
