Behind Every Estate Is a Dream Team: Celebrating 40+ Years of Placing Elite Household Staff

Estates near the Golden Gate Bridge

The Wall Street Journal recently shined a spotlight on a truth those of us in the industry have long known: managing a luxury home is nothing short of an art form—and it takes a full staff of highly skilled professionals to pull it off seamlessly.

At Town + Country Resources, we’ve had the honor of working with that caliber of talent for over four decades. From seasoned estate managers who oversee multiple properties across the globe to nannies who bring calm, creativity, and consistency to dynamic households. Our candidates don’t just “fill roles,” they transform homes.

A Legacy of Excellence

Since 1982, we’ve placed thousands of skilled household staff in luxury homes throughout California and beyond. Our clients include high-net-worth families, celebrities, tech leaders, and legacy estates—each with unique needs and expectations. What they all have in common is a demand for excellence, discretion, and above all, trust and that’s exactly what our candidates deliver.

We’ve seen private chefs who can handle a 12-course tasting menu one night and a toddler’s food sensitivities the next. We’ve placed personal assistants who manage six calendars without breaking a sweat. And we’ve supported housekeepers who maintain museum-level homes with warmth and grace. These professionals are the true backbone of luxury living.

Matching the Right People to the Right Homes

The WSJ article emphasized just how much detail, planning, and coordination goes into running large estates which is something Town + Country has known for decades. That’s why we take a hands-on, consultative approach to every placement. We ensure a perfect match not just in skills, but in personality, values, and work style. At present time we’ve made over 180,000 successful placements!

If you’re a household professional looking to work at the top of your field, or a family in need of dedicated, experienced support, you’re in the right place. Because our team understands what it takes to keep a home running at its best. We’re proud to be the trusted link between the people who make it all happen.

Looking Ahead

As luxury household needs continue to evolve, one thing remains constant: the need for skilled, reliable professional staff, At Town + Country, we’re proud of the role we play in helping households thrive and even prouder of the incredible candidates we represent.

Here’s to the next 40 years of excellence!
