Personal Concierge, Personal Assistant, Virtual
Assistants, Gal Friday, Caretaker… what do all these
terms have in common? They are people and
businesses dedicated to helping you save time and
energy and as a way to help you achieve life balance.
When we think ‘concierge’ we immediately think
reservations or vacation assistance, but this is no longer
the case. Personal Concierge services run the gamut
from the routine to the extraordinary. If you need a luxury
service – limo, private jet, event planning – a Personal
Concierge can certainly get those things arranged for
you, but they can just as easily refill the propane tank, do
your grocery shopping, have your windows cleaned, wait
for deliveries, walk the dogs, do your filing, get your
computer repaired and have your automobile detailed.
With true Personal Concierge service, you have a single
point of contact, a Concierge who is assigned to you,
someone you will get to know and trust. You’ll know who
is in your home and can be rest assured that no matter
what you need, it is only a phone call or email away. And
as your relationship builds, your Personal Concierge will
automatically complete agreed upon tasks without your
direction.
So who uses Personal Concierges? A perfect candidate
is anyone who has too much to do and too little time. The
three primary groups who regularly rely on Personal
Concierge assistance are busy professionals, retirees
and absentee homeowners. Here in the desert, where so
many of our homeowners are part time residents, a
Personal Concierge is more of
a necessity than a luxury. Not only will your Personal
Concierge make sure your home is always ready for your
arrival, they also check your home weekly to pro-actively
keep an eye out for vandalism and to preempt situations
that might result in costly repairs.
Before turning your house keys over to a Personal
Concierge, ensure you are dealing with a reliable and
reputable company. Ask the following questions:
• Is this a licensed, bonded and insured company’?
• Do they use only licensed and insured Service
Providers
• Can they provide references?
• Do they have a confidentiality policy?
• Do they belong to any industry associations?
• Are they involved in the community?
If the answers to all or most of these questions is ‘yes’,
then you will most likely be engaging a legitimate
Personal Concierge company. A professional Personal
Concierge company should have policies and
procedures designed to insure consistency and
confidentiality and should provide high quality customer
service. A professional company will also gladly answer
all your concerns. If you find yourself overwhelmed with
tasks, want a little more free time in your life, or if you
want to protect your home investment when you’re away,
a Personal Concierge may well be the answer!
