Be A Self-Employed Professional Boca Raton Personal Concierge

By Lowell Morales


Are you a busy person who just doesn't have enough time to take care of all the details in your life? Maybe what you need is a Boca Raton personal concierge. Someone who can organize you, your home, your possessions, and your personal affairs could make life so much easier.

Like the person at a luxury hotel who is ready to look up telephone numbers, recommend good restaurants, call a taxi, get concert tickets, or arrange someone to meet your friends at the airport, a personal assistant can do whatever you want done but don't want to actually do. And - this can be service 24/7. Sweet!

Meet John Doe, husband and father, who is retired from his brokerage but still has rental apartments throughout Florida. He wants to spend his time at the golf club, his wife travels, and his children are grown up and married. If you work for the family, you might walk the dogs, arrange a limo to meet Mrs. Doe at the airport, or send flowers to a daughter-in-law on her birthday.

Mr. Doe could delegate his rental units to property management Pompano Beach professionals. A big firm can handle leases and advertising for new tenants, repairs and maintenance, and garbage pick-up. However, Doe has upscale rentals and charges a premium. He knows his long-term tenants like seeing a familiar face, having a doorman they know and trust, and having their needs anticipated rather than met. This is where the concierge difference comes in.

You may need to check out websites of people who offer this kind of help, to see what they are willing to do. A concierge can be like a general practitioner and do whatever you need or a specialist who might walk the dogs but not sort the mail. Maybe you want everything from help with planning a dinner party to hiring a new housekeeper, or maybe you just want someone to run errands.

Do you like the idea of working for yourself? You can structure it the way you want, like as a sole proprietorship or an LLC. You will be in charge of marketing, so put a notice up at the grocery store or advertise on social media. You define the service, you decide how many clients you can handle, you keep the records, you set the fees and decide how you will be paid. These days you can even use PayPal.

Since this is a real career choice, and a growing area of service, you can use the internet to find people in your area who offer this. There are even trade organizations now that post lists of member companies or individuals. The National Association of Professional Organizers and the National Concierge Association exist to support individuals and companies in the field. Do an online search for a Fort Lauderdale home concierge.

Whether you need someone to run errands or a property manager for vacation or rental units, you can find the kind of help that will make your life easier. Think how this could simplify your life. Think about not having to worry about finding a plumber, remember to pay taxes on time, make sure things are ready for a new tenant, or put an ad in the paper to find one. Maybe you just want someone to pick up the dry cleaning. You can have this!
