Become A 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.

A concierge gives clients the personal touch that can be missing in both private and professional life. Luxury hotels have found that their guests like having someone on hand to help with everything from planning a sightseeing trip to making a reservation. A personal concierge does the same thing for a private individual, a family, or a company.

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.

It can even work like this if you have rental property or a vacation home. Professionals can take care of the maintenance, the repairs, the cleaning, and finding new tenants if necessary. Property management Pompano Beach or Fort Lauderdale all inclusive property management can even take care of trash pick up and tenant complaints. Of course, so can the right personal assistant.

You decide how much you want to do. Perhaps you want to do it all for one person, from picking up the dry cleaning and the kids to grocery shopping and meal planning. Perhaps you would rather do a few things for several busy people or families; be a specialist rather than a general practitioner. You might enjoy keeping one household running smoothly by doing everything from hiring a new housekeeper to planning an anniversary party. However, you might prefer to limit your help to making sure the bills are paid or the pets are happy.

You can set up as a sole proprietor or establish a LLC or an S corporation. You will need to advertise, maybe on social media or by posting a business card on a community board. You will have to define your role, set your fees, and decide how you will collect them. 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 want to be the legs of an elderly person or keep a busy man's homelife organized, you can have fun and earn a good living in this growing field. As people's lives get more complicated and time seems to move ever faster, someone to help with the details is much in demand.
