Estate Management, at the Level Your Home Needs
One person responsible for the whole property: the systems, the vendors, the projects, and the days you arrive.
Updated for 2026
Estate management for Charlotte and Lake Norman homes: scheduled property inspections with photo reports, maintenance and handyman work, vendor management, concierge and arrival preparation, project oversight, and emergency response.
The service is run by Alec Lister, an estate manager based at Lake Norman with 15 years of experience maintaining high-value homes and yachts. Engagements are contracted and delivered through Alerion Estate Management.
What Estate Management Covers
The work is the same discipline everywhere: find small problems before they get expensive, and keep the house ready for you.
Scheduled walkthroughs of the home's systems and structure: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, security, exterior. A written report with photos follows every visit.
Filter changes, small repairs, and preventive tasks handled on the spot by someone who has maintained homes and yachts for 15 years, not billed out to a contractor.
Contractors are vetted, the work scheduled, access handled, the result checked, and the invoice reviewed. No chasing a vendor or waiting at the house for one.
Deliveries received, the house opened and set before you arrive, visit setup and breakdown, and the last-minute requests that come with a busy household.
Renovations and repairs managed from scope to final walkthrough: contractor selection, scheduling, progress checks, and budget tracking.
When something urgent happens, it gets diagnosed on the spot, a temporary fix prevents further damage, and the right specialist is brought in with a clear scope.
Focused Services
For second homes and waterfront properties, these services stand on their own.
