The Person Behind the Work

About Gosia

I started as an estate house manager and quickly discovered that most luxury homes are quietly losing tens of thousands of dollars every year — not through negligence, but through a lack of dedicated financial oversight. Vendors overbill. Contracts auto-renew. Supplies are ordered in duplicate. Nobody is watching.

I watched. And over eight years managing a large private estate in Rancho Santa Fe, I saved the owners an average of $100,000 per year in controllable operating costs.

Now I offer that same level of attention, loyalty, and financial discipline to other estate owners across Southern California.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are you different from a property manager or housekeeper?
A property manager typically handles tenant relations and maintenance requests. A housekeeper keeps the home clean. I focus exclusively on the financial and operational side of running a luxury estate — vendor contracts, budgets, purchasing, bookkeeping, and cost control. Think of me as a CFO for your home.
What size of estate do you typically work with?
I work with private estates in the Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carlsbad, and greater San Diego area. Most of my clients have properties between 5,000 and 20,000+ square feet, with multiple staff, vendors, and significant annual operating budgets.
How quickly can I expect to see savings?
Most clients see measurable savings within the first 60–90 days, particularly from vendor renegotiation and contract reviews. My record shows an average of $100,000 in annual savings on a single large estate, though results vary based on your current setup.
Do I need to be home for you to work?
Not at all. Many of my clients travel frequently or are only at their estate part of the year. I operate independently, report to you remotely, and make sure the home is always prepared and running smoothly — whether you arrive with 24 hours notice or a full entourage.
How do I get started?
The simplest first step is a complimentary 30-minute consultation. I will learn about your estate, your current setup, and where you feel the most pain. From there, I can recommend the right engagement — whether a one-time audit or an ongoing management arrangement.
What Clients Say

"

Gosia transformed the way our estate runs. We had no idea how much money was slipping through the cracks every year. She came in, reviewed everything, and within months we were saving more than we paid her — by a wide margin. She is absolutely trustworthy and completely discreet.

We travel nine months of the year. Gosia runs our Del Mar property as if it were her own. Everything is ready when we arrive, every bill is scrutinized, and I never worry. That peace of mind alone is worth every dollar.

I hired Gosia for a one-time audit and ended up keeping her on permanently. The audit alone uncovered nearly $60,000 in savings opportunities. I have referred her to two neighbors already. She is the best investment I have made in this property.
