SERVING WESTHAMPTON TO MONTAUK

Services and availability may vary based on property location, size, seasonal demand and individual homeowner requirements.

A LOCAL PRESENCE

Owning a second home should be enjoyable, not another full-time responsibility. We serve as your local eyes and ears, helping coordinate the day-to-day needs of the property and responding when something requires attention. If an issue is identified, we communicate promptly and help coordinate the appropriate next step.

OUR APPROACH

Every property is different. We take the time to understand how each homeowner uses their residence, what systems and vendors are involved, and the level of oversight
they expect. From routine home watch to more involved coordination, our
service can be tailored around the
needs of the home.
Your peace of mind is our priority.

Robert brings decades of local business experience, established relationships and a strong commitment to the community. His involvement with organizations including the Masons, Kiwanis, Rotary and Combined Veterans reflects the same values of service, reliability and personal responsibility that guide Water Mill Property Management.
COLBY GILL
Colby represents the next generation of the Gill family’s commitment to local service. In addition to his business experience, he serves the community as a volunteer firefighter and chief with the Southampton Village Volunteer Ambulance. His background reinforces the importance of responsiveness, attention to detail and being available when people need help.

At Water Mill Property Management, we offer comprehensive property oversight tailored specifically to your home’s unique needs.

Hourly rates apply to Water Mill Property Management’s time for coordination, oversight, and on-site assistance. Third-party services are arranged with homeowner approval and billed separately.

HOME WATCH AND
PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

Scheduled visual inspections help identify obvious concerns before they become larger problems. Visits may include checks of doors and windows, HVAC operation, plumbing and visible leaks, interior temperature, moisture or water damage, appliances, exterior conditions, pool areas and storm-related damage.

ARRIVAL AND
DEPARTURE SERVICES

We help prepare your residence before you or your guests arrive and help secure it after departure. Depending on your needs, this can include HVAC and lighting adjustments, water-system checks, a general property inspection, and confirmation that the residence is ready or properly secured.
$595/month (four visits per month, one visit each week)
$125 for each additional visit (one hour minimum)
Additional services: $125/hour (one hour minimum)

EMERGENCY & AFTER-HOURS RESPONSE

$250/hour (midnight-6:00 a.m. and holidays)

VENDOR AND
CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT

When a contractor or service provider needs access to your property, we can meet them at the residence, provide approved access, supervise scheduled work when requested, and coordinate appointments.

PRE- AND
POST-STORM SERVICES

We can help coordinate pre-storm preparation, conduct post-storm property inspections, respond to storm-related concerns, and coordinate any necessary cleanup or repairs with appropriate service providers.

AIRBNB AND RENTAL
TURNOVER SERVICES

For rental properties with a rental permit, we can coordinate turnovers between guests, arrange pre- and post-guest inspections, coordinate cleaning, linens, laundry and restocking, and help make sure the residence is prepared for the next arrival.

SEASONAL OPENING
AND CLOSING SERVICES

Seasonal homes often require coordinated opening and closing. We can coordinate home openings, home closings, outdoor furniture setup or storage, and winterization and spring opening services.
