IS THERE A FEE FOR RESIDENCE MANAGEMENT?

Residence Management is a professional service that charges a simple $2,500 flat fee per site visit. Additional fees may be incurred to hire design professionals and specialty trades whose services may be recommended by your Residence Manager and must be performed by a professional who is licensed, bonded, and insured.

WHAT SERVICES DOES MY RESIDENCE MANAGER RENDER DURING HER SITE VISITS?

Your dedicated Residence Manager is tasked with coordinating seasonal maintenance requests as part of your Proposal of Service, as well as providing clear documentation and field notes before, during, and after. Your dedicated Residence Manager may also be employed to research and facilitate in the creation of new projects, as per your request and specific needs.

WHO IS MY DEDICATED RESIDENCE MANAGER?

Your dedicated Residence Manager is a fully qualified affiliate of The Rappahannock River Company who is designed to serve as your primary point of contact for your custom home needs.
