For those who own or manage large, high-value properties in the bustling markets of San Diego and Los Angeles, having an experienced estate manager can be the key to ensuring everything runs smoothly. Whether it’s a sprawling oceanfront villa in La Jolla or a historic estate in Beverly Hills, the complexity of managing such properties requires professional oversight. Today we’re peeking behind the curtain at being an estate manager – tackling tasks, raking in rewards, and shining light on heroes like Seaside Staffing that matchmake these pros with vibrant locales where they thrive most.
The Role of an Estate Manager
An estate manager oversees the daily operations and maintenance of private residences. Their job plate is full! Think overseeing home repairs while juggling budgets tighter than circus acrobatics. Add to that orchestrating epic gatherings alongside guaranteeing nothing shady crosses over those grand gates. For anyone owning a home or working on it, these pros are your first call – making sure that every improvement and repair adds up to more than just parts of a whole.
Estate managers in San Diego and Los Angeles are often tasked with additional responsibilities that might include management of multiple properties, overseeing extensive grounds or agricultural areas, and even coordinating with personal assistants or financial advisors connected to the homeowners.
Who Needs an Estate Manager?
Typically, estate managers are employed by owners of large residential properties that require meticulous management due to their size, value, or the complexity of the services they offer. Imagine exploring vast estates with not just one but multiple structures or stepping into luxurious city dwellings where there’s always room for your team and entertaining is part of the daily routine. In bustling and affluent areas like San Diego and Los Angeles, estate managers are crucial for homeowners who may not have the time or expertise to manage the day-to-day complexities of their properties themselves.
Compensation for Estate Managers
In San Diego and Los Angeles counties, the compensation for an estate manager can vary significantly based on the size of the estate, the number of staff to be overseen, and the specific duties they are expected to perform. Generally, salaries range from $110,000 to $180,000 annually, depending on their experience and the demands of the specific estate. Estate managers who handle more complex properties or multiple locations might command the higher end of this range.

JADE STEVENSON
Social Media Manager
As our social media manager, Jade Stevenson is one of the primary gatekeepers to our Seaside story.
With a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Psychology, Jade is a natural champion of authenticity, and she uses her whimsically pink hair to nudge all of us closer to her magical world of creative expression.
As a kid, Jade discovered she was allergic to more than 60 percent of the food pyramid, and it is in this journey where she began to learn just how important it is to show up as a force of kindness in the world. She holds an unwavering belief in the power of story, and she believes that small acts of compassion can truly spark a movement of positivity and change.
When she’s not showing up with her digital marketing genius at Seaside, Jade can be easily spotted (thanks to her pink hair) tutoring local teens and helping them write the types of college essays that earn acceptance letters from the schools of their dreams.
Equally at home whether she’s amplifying the voices of Black Femmes or losing herself in the quiet stillness of an ancient book of poetry, Jade is a living expression of what it means to fully embrace your truest self. When you meet her, you’ll immediately feel like you’re right at home, and she’ll always help you discover and celebrate the best parts of who you are.
JESSICA HE
Placement Coordinator
Jessica He has spent her entire life stepping feet first into the big, wide world, making every corner of it feel like home – no matter where she’s at.
Earning two Bachelor’s degrees in Chinese language and East Asian Studies, she’s traveled the world to study in monasteries, climb Mount Fuji, and drink tea and coffee with otters. (Yes, that last one is real. Ask her about it.) She’s also served as an ESL teacher, a recruiter, a trainer, and a nanny – always finding ways to work alongside families and children. Today, she brings all her stories and all her experiences to Seaside Staffing Company where she makes the art of perfect matchmaking look flawlessly simple.
When Jessica isn’t in the Seaside office, she’s a busy momma who knows firsthand what it’s like to be in the trenches and need support. Unashamed to claim her sense of humor as one of her greatest talents, Jessica is perpetually positive, fiercely organized, and always seems to find a way to bring levity to the hardest-to-solve problems. Knowing Jessica means you’ll never forget how to laugh, and she’ll give you the courage to live your life to the fullest.
(Want to see her humor in action? Ask her about the time she lived in China and got her Oreos confiscated by a very disappointed nun.)
KIMBERLY BANEY
Placement Coordinator
With an MBA in HR Management and Accounting, Kim might best be described as a people expert.
She spent six years teaching children online in China as an ESL instructor, and with a TESOL certification in her proverbial back pocket, it’s no wonder why she shows up at Seaside every single day with a big, bold view of the world.
Over the last decade, Kim has served as a recruiter and a placement coordinator in the household staffing industry, and she’s learned that while systems are incredibly important, relationships matter more. It’s not uncommon to hear Seaside clients talk to Kim like she’s their best friend. They know she’ll go to the ends of the earth for them (and we’ve seen her do it countless times).
When Kim isn’t at Seaside, she can most likely be found 4-wheeling through the dirt and taking long hikes with her dogs. She’s always up for a great adventure, and she says one of the craziest things she’s ever done is buying an Amish house with no electricity or hot water (besides that one time in high school when she thought it was a great idea to buy a car with a giant British flag painted on the hood).
“The basement of our house used to be a bakery,” she says. “When I’m dreaming about escaping to New Zealand or Scotland, I just head downstairs, take in a deep breath, and imagine myself eating a delicious cinnamon roll baked to sticky-finger perfection.”
For those who own or manage large, high-value properties in the bustling markets of San Diego and Los Angeles, having an experienced estate manager can be the key to ensuring everything runs smoothly.
