Precise Home Management

What Precise Home Management does

Precise Home Management is a Baltimore-based, founder-owned domestic staffing agency founded in February 1998 by Andrew Lowrey, a formally trained British butler (Ivor Spencer International Butler School). The firm places personal assistants, chefs, nannies, estate managers, butlers, housekeepers, household managers, family assistants, traveling housekeepers, caregivers, and executive personal assistants with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth private households across the Mid-Atlantic, with additional reach into the Southeast, Southwest, and the United Kingdom via a partnership with Butler For You in Germany. Service delivery is relationship-led: every prospective client receives a complimentary in-home consultation, a formal client registration and service agreement are required, and candidates are screened through background investigations and character interviews conducted by trusted partners. Pricing is structured as a retainer starting at $1,500 per placement, with multi-placement (two or three) packages available through an online payment flow.

The business model is professional services with retainer mechanics rather than subscription SaaS. Revenue is generated from placement fees (typically tied to candidate compensation brackets ranging from $80k for housekeepers to $225k+ for estate managers and couples teams), supplemented by consulting and training engagements covering salary guidance, retention program design, and performance evaluations. Go-to-market relies on founder-led thought leadership — Andrew Lowrey's media presence in The New York Times, Town & Country, Forbes, People, ABC, and major podcasts — combined with a candidate referral program offering $500+ per successful placement. The candidate pipeline runs through an Enginehire-powered registration portal, and the public-facing website lists current openings across multiple U.S. states. The underlying technology stack is conventional web infrastructure (Squarespace-hosted site, third-party ATS) with no proprietary AI, mobile app, or developer-facing API.

Customer concentration is high: the entire addressable market is the UHNW private household segment, and no logos beyond two named testimonials appear in source material. The company has remained privately held and founder-controlled for 27 years with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or leadership transitions beyond the addition of Placement Specialist Tiffany Kolosick. Partnership ecosystem includes Estatespace (AI estate asset management), HomeWork Solutions (household payroll/HR), Christopher Schafer Clothier, and Driven (luxury transportation), positioning the firm as a curated node in a broader UHNW household services network rather than a scaled platform business.
