Julio Rumbaut

I write to you regarding the position you have posted for an Estate Manager for a property in Palo Alto. I am completely fluent in Spanish and English, with great oral and written communications skills, and have a basic knowledge of Italian. 

With over 12 years of experience in working in a family office and managing private estates, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional service to you, your family, and guests.

In my previous work, I have successfully managed daily large estate operations, including maintenance, housekeeping, events, and security. I have a keen eye for detail and a strong sense of organization, which enables me to effectively manage multiple tasks and prioritize responsibilities. I am also highly skilled in formulating and managing budgets and ensuring that all expenses are kept within budget. Furthermore, I have a deep understanding of the importance of maintaining discretion and confidentiality when working with high-profile clients.

My experience in the media/entertainment business is extensive and it has been a synergistic and positive element to my ability to carry out Estate Management duties well. More specifically the need to work with talented and UHNW and HNW individuals, to meeting deadlines to juggling often conflicting priorities are all very similar in the media/entertainment and Personal Services Professional sectors. Additionally, I know California well, including northern California, having spent ample time there on business and pleasure.

My experience in developing and keeping capable, efficient, and reasonably priced vendor lists is strong. The same is the case for minimizing staff turnover. In my last Estate Management job, I had a total of two turnovers during a 12-year period. These were the two nannies, who met their husbands at work, as they married a contracted electrician and a plumber, respectively.

I am truly passionate about the field of personal service work, and I am eager to bring my skills and experience to you. I am confident that I would be an asset to your team, and I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications with you.
