Find A Boca Raton Personal Concierge

By Lowell Morales


Perhaps you'd like to start a home-based business, or perhaps you are seeking a way to make your Fort Lauderdale all inclusive property management company stand out. Either way, becoming a Boca Raton personal concierge may hold the answer. Anyone who is good at organizing people or things and who understands the value of 'the personal touch' in today's world will find this career attractive.

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!

Imagine that you are helping John Doe, a semi-retired resident of an upscale community in your area. He has a wife who is sometimes around, two grown children, two Labrador retrievers, and a cat. In one day, you might walk the dogs, take the cat to the vet, send flowers to a daughter-in-law on her birthday, mail two registered letters, hire a limo to meet the wife at the airport, and remind Mr. Doe that he has a dentist appointment.

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.

The idea is to take responsibility for the needs you fill. The person or company you work for tells you what they need and then forgets about it. You do the rest and do it superbly. The National Association of Professional Organizers and the National Concierge Association have resource you can explore to make being your own boss easier.

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!
