Private Service Professionals
Today’s term for an individual working within a private home is “Private Service Professional (PSP).” They are dedicated to the subtle art of managing the lifestyles of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families. Private Service Professionals are full-time staff that directly serve their principal’s daily needs, act as the gatekeeper to any outsider, monitor all assets for potential issues that may arise, and execute plans. Their reputation, and career, are on the line when a principal’s expectations are not met. The most successful and valuable Private Service Professionals are adept at networking and maintaining excellent relationships with all sectors of the industry. Management of luxury estates takes many experts to execute daily expectations of delight.

Such agencies have developed healthy relationships and represent both sides of the match – the Principal (paying client) and the Private Service Professional (the candidate). These relationships are based on trust, human communication, and discretion.

Global and Regional Business Partners
Private Service Professionals (PSPs) know that they need an army of luxury-oriented businesses to handle the multitude of requests and demands of UHNW Principals. Our Business Partners are the best of the best. They focus on just three things: quality materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and customer service. Artisans are found in every industry, from custom shoes to hand-tailored suits, luxuriously appointed private aircraft to monogrammed sets of China, paddleboards to pianos, luxury materials and craftsmanship set these businesses in a class all their own. The only difference between Global Business Partners and Regional Business Partners is their footprint and availability to serve clientele in a limited region, across the United States, or around the world.
Membership Requirements
Business Partners are vetted and referred by our membership. Business members must demonstrate their commitment as experts in luxury goods and services, utilize the best quality materials, artisans, and provide stellar customer service.
