Our philosophy

Fewer estates. Closer attention.

The finest service is the one an owner never has to think about.

Ski & Sun is a private residence and estate management company for a small, hand-selected group of homes across the Flathead Valley. We run the house, its trades and, where the owner wishes, its rentals, from one local office. Our team walks each residence, protects it through the Montana winter and reports in photographs rather than promises.

A written standard

Inspection, response and approval standards, published so you can hold us to them.

A named person

One accountable contact who knows your home, its trades and your preferences.

A photographed record

Every visit documented, every job filed in your Property Master File.

A small portfolio

We accept fewer homes, so each receives our full attention.

Three levels of care

Choose the level the house asks for.

Each level rests on the same written standard. Begin where the home is today and step up as its needs grow.

The Weekly Estate Check

Someone walks your house every week.

Each visit takes 60 to 90 minutes and follows a checklist written for your home. The arrival temperature is recorded and every finding is photographed and filed: interior and exterior walkthrough, water run and flushed, leak sensors checked, hot tub level and cover, snow and ice at the entries, and a photographed report filed to you.

15 minutes

Emergencies acknowledged, at any hour.

1 hour

Urgent matters acknowledged and fixed or scheduled the same day.

1 day

Routine items acknowledged and scheduled.

How to begin

A thirty-minute conversation about your goals and how you use the house.

What attended means

A house that is looked after, not just locked up

Between visits an estate is only as safe as the attention it receives. We walk the residence on a set schedule, check the systems that matter through a Montana winter, and meet the trades so you never have to.

  • Scheduled interior and exterior walk-throughs
  • Winter readiness: heat, water, snow and access
  • Trades coordinated, supervised and signed off
  • A photographed report after every visit
How we begin

From first conversation to a managed home

01

Private consultation

We listen first: how you use the home, who has access, and what worries you most.

02

Property tour

We walk the residence with you and record its systems, contacts and preferences.

03

Proposal and agreement

You receive a clear written scope and standard before anything begins.

Your Property Master File

Everything about the home, in one place

Every residence has its own history: the boiler that needs a particular technician, the code for the gate, the artwork that should never be moved. We record it once, keep it current, and hand it to whoever steps in.

  • Contacts, codes and vendors on file
  • Warranties, invoices and service history
  • Owner preferences and access rules
Good to know

Questions owners ask

How many homes do you take on?

A small number, by design. We would rather give each residence real attention than spread a team thin.

Can you manage a home that is not rented?

Yes. Estate management stands on its own. Rental management is an option for owners who want it, not a requirement.

Who is my point of contact?

One named person who knows your home. You are not routed through a call centre.

How do I know what happened at the house?

You receive a photographed record of each visit and every job, filed in your Property Master File.

Fewer estates. Closer attention.

We serve the Flathead Valley: Whitefish, Columbia Falls, Kalispell, Bigfork, Lakeside and Somers.
