Who are we?

Based in Cornac, we provide a local presence for second home owners. Our role is simple: to watch over, report, and intervene when necessary, with discretion and consistency.

Before monitoring begins, we carry out an introductory visit of your house to become familiar with the property, access points, and sensitive areas. This initial visit is included when setting up a semi-annual or annual package.

A service designed for those who want to stay in control of their home, even from a distance.

Scheduled and plannable visits (no “check-in” constraints).
Presence during contractor visits: opening, closing, summary report.
Alerts and reporting of anomalies (leak, tripped breaker, visible dampness, etc.).
Preparation before arrival: heating, restarting systems, opening up the house.

Each intervention may be followed by a summary message and, if desired, a few photos. The exact scope is defined together at the start.

Entrusted keys, alarm codes, etc. are anonymized. No reference to your address is attached to the keys or the code.

Why hire a property manager?

A second home requires a regular presence, even when it is unoccupied. Local monitoring helps anticipate problems, limit unpleasant surprises, and keep an eye on the house from a distance.

Quickly detect a visible issue, such as a leak, power outage, unusual dampness, or a door or window left improperly closed.
Prevent a small problem from becoming a bigger one due to a lack of regular presence in a house that is rarely occupied.
Check the general condition of the property after a frost period, strong winds, heavy rain, or storms.
Prepare the house before your arrival: opening up, airing out, restarting systems, heating, or basic checks.
Be present when a contractor or service provider visits, without requiring you to travel.
Maintain a concrete connection with your second home in the Lot area, thanks to simple, local, and regular monitoring.

Hiring a second home manager is above all about peace of mind. You know your house is being looked after, that sensitive points are monitored, and that a local presence can intervene if necessary.
