HAUSWERE STRATEGIC OVERSIGHT

  • Most property management in Hawaii is built for the vacation rental market.

    Their systems are optimized for guest turnovers, booking commissions, and high-volume churn.

    If your home is a private sanctuary—not a hotel—you are an afterthought in their database.

    You deal with "Hawaii Time" from vendors, confusing statements with hidden markups, and a reactive approach that only addresses problems after they become expensive.

    You don't need a manager. You need a Fiduciary.

  • HAUSWERE is the "Manager for your Manager."

    We are an independent, non-liability land and property agency that acts as your local proxy. We don’t touch your keys; we audit the systems that run your home.

    We represent your interest—and only your interest—in the physical world.

  • 01 / Strategic Audit

    We vet the personnel on your property.

    From landscapers to pool technicians, we ensure your vendors are performing to a global standard.

    We don't sign their contracts; we ensure they earn them.

    02 / Project Proxy

    Renovating or building while away is a risk.

    We are your boots on the ground.

    We provide high-resolution documentation of project milestones, ensuring "two weeks" doesn't turn into a seasonal delay.

    We audit the invoices so you don't pay the "Absentee Tax."

    03 / Intelligence Briefings

    No automated portals.

    You receive a clinical, data-driven report once a month.

    We highlight discrepancies in vendor billing, monitor structural vitality, and find the "Unseen Angle" to improve your asset's efficiency.

    No long-term commitment. Absolute privacy.

THE HAUSWERE METHOD

  • There is no boilerplate formula for a private estate in Kona.

    We find the specialized craftsmen others can’t, sourcing bids based on your specific architectural standards rather than our convenience.

    Our process begins with observation: we listen to the systems of the house and report exactly what we see.

    We provide the intelligence; you assess the data and decide if—and how—to proceed.

  • High-Velocity Stewardship.

    Hawaii is a high-entropy environment. Salt air, tropical humidity, and volcanic ash are constant forces of depreciation. We move fast because problems here don’t wait for a committee. We strip away the administrative bureaucracy of traditional firms to focus entirely on the technical details of your asset.

    The Architecture of Oversight.

    We don’t just "watch" a property; we build systems around it. Our process is rooted in consolidating data and identifying the inefficiencies that traditional managers overlook.

    • Consolidation: We aggregate vendor invoices, service logs, and utility data into a single, clinical narrative.

    • Optimization: We find the waste—the "Absentee Tax"—and eliminate it through systemic oversight.

    • Precision: Our methodology is measure twice, cut once. We take the time to verify the data before we advise on a solution, ensuring that every action taken is the correct one.

  • The Architecture of Craft.

    Vetting for Mastery. We only partner with vendors who see their trade as a craft, not a commodity. In the unforgiving climate of Hawaii Island, "good enough" is a slow-motion disaster. We seek out the niche experts—the specialized technicians and local companies who understand the specific mechanical and structural demands of the Kohala Coast.

    Unbiased Loyalty. Our relationship with the vendor is one of clinical oversight, not convenience. We are 100% transparent: our loyalty is exclusively to the owner, never the contractor. We do not accept referral fees, we do not take markups, and we do not protect underperforming labor. We are your advocate at every stage of the process.

    Layered Knowledge. High-value estates are complex ecosystems built by specific hands. We leverage deep, layered knowledge of the local landscape, working alongside the original builders and specialized contractors who know exactly how your house was put together. We understand the nuances of the materials, the micro-climates, and the history of the build. This institutional knowledge ensures that maintenance isn't a guess—it’s a science.

  • Hawaii Island is an unforgiving environment where salt air, tropical humidity, and extreme heat are constant threats to structural integrity. Passive management fails here; "set it and forget it" is a path to rapid depreciation. While real estate remains a premier asset, it is one burdened by significant phantom costs. Expensive assets require costly, high-frequency maintenance to retain their value. We are building the property management company we want for ourselves as homeowners: a system rooted in active, daily vigilance and the technical oversight your investment deserves.

ESTIMATED MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

  • Operating expenses for a boutique estate typically range from $2,900 to $5,050 monthly.

    This includes landscaping and irrigation ($800–$1,500), pool and water feature maintenance ($350–$500), and weekly deep-cleaning ($600–$1,200).

    Mechanical systems and pest mitigation account for an additional $350–$650, while utilities average approximately $800–$1,200 depending on seasonal usage.

  • An executive-scale asset requires a monthly operational budget of $6,200 to $11,200.

    Landscape and pool requirements increase significantly ($2,400–$4,400 combined), while professional housekeeping and mechanical oversight demand $2,000–$3,800 monthly.

    These properties often face higher utility profiles, averaging $1,500–$2,500 to maintain climate and humidity control systems.

  • Legacy assets require high-touch maintenance, with monthly OPEX ranging from $14,900 to $26,500+.

    Landscaping and water features alone can exceed $10,500 monthly to preserve structural integrity and aesthetic standards.

    Comprehensive housekeeping and specialized mechanical management typically account for $5,000–$9,000, while utility averages reflect the immense scale of the infrastructure at $3,500–$6,000.

The ADvisory RETAINER

  • Passive system scans. We listen to the house and report exactly what we see, providing the data required for the owner to assess the next move.

  • Personalized procurement and vendor management. We find specialized craftsmen and source bids based on your standards rather than our convenience.

  • Strategic counsel and capital oversight. We provide the high-resolution documentation and layered knowledge required for complex, legacy assets.
