Luxury Estate Management & Home Watch in Fort Lauderdale

The South Florida Hurricane Readiness Checklist

Before hurricane season begins, during a named storm, and after it passes: what every South Florida owner should have ready.

Who we serve

Riverland Home Studios is a South Florida estate management and home watch firm founded by Mercedes Jorge. We serve Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties from our base in Fort Lauderdale. We work only for the owner: we do not lease, collect rent or place tenants.

Seasonal & second homes. Empty for the summer, never unattended. Weekly documented inspections, storm protection and a home that is ready the day you return.

Luxury vacation rentals. Every stay starts with a perfect home. Readiness inspections before each arrival, checks after each departure, and the asset protected in between.

Full-time residents. One trusted call for the whole household: housekeeping, pet care, vendors and a weekly check-in on anything you need.

Homes for sale. Vacant listings that show perfectly, cared for between showings for sellers and their realtors.

One firm, three ways in

Whether the home is yours, your client’s or your principal’s, you get one accountable counterpart and the same documented standard of care.

For homeowners

Your home, inspected, documented and ready whenever you are: seasonal residence, vacation rental or full-time household.

For realtors

Vacant listings that show perfectly, and buyers handed into trusted care after closing. One point of contact, a report after every visit.

A local counterpart in South Florida who follows your protocols, not ours. Approval thresholds you set, reporting in your format.

For estate managers & private offices

The Riverland Standard

Five named protocols, the same in every home we hold. They are how we keep the absence of incident from being luck.

The Storm Protocol

Readiness by June 1. Securing before a named storm. A post-storm inspection with photo and video documentation formatted for your insurance carrier.

Dossier, Arrival & Monthly Summary

The Estate Dossier records access, systems, vendors and insurance within 30 days. Arrival Readiness prepares the home before every return. The Monthly Estate Summary reports it all on one page.

The Oversight Inspection

A documented interior and exterior inspection on a fixed schedule: water, climate and humidity, electrical, security, pests, envelope, landscape and pool. A time-stamped photo report the same day.

Held in perfect readiness.

Homes we hold

The Seasonal Residence

A three-story coastal home above $2 million whose owners split the year between South Florida and the Midwest. Weekly documented oversight while they are away; cleaned, provisioned and ready before every return.

A nearly three-year engagement with a full-time Fort Lauderdale household also shows the other side of our work: housekeeping and companion animal care, handled by one trusted firm.

The Private Rental Residence

A four-bedroom pool home above $1 million hosting twelve guests at a premium nightly rate. A full readiness inspection before every arrival and oversight between stays, so every guest arrives to a home that presents as if no one has ever left it.
