Who we are
Estate stewardship is not new. For centuries, complex properties were entrusted to stewards and house captains responsible for observation, order, and the protection of long-term value. KARCI Summit Estate Services carries that discipline forward for modern mountain estates, providing independent oversight and clear reporting for properties with complex systems and high replacement costs. We do not manage lifestyles or staff—we safeguard the condition and integrity of the estate itself.
KSES is an independent estate oversight firm serving owners of high-value mountain properties who are frequently away and require disciplined, on-site stewardship of their assets.
The Practice Principal of KARCI Summit Estate Services brings experience from Marine Security Guard (MSG) service protecting U.S. diplomatic facilities overseas, followed by a career in operational leadership and program management. Across these roles, the constants were accountability, discretion, and risk awareness—principles that translate directly to estate oversight at the highest level.
KSES exists to represent ownership, not vendors. We do not manage tenants, perform repairs, or sell services tied to execution. Instead, we provide structured, documented oversight of the estate itself—verifying condition, access, systems, and continuity through regular site presence. When vendors, property managers, builders, or agents are involved, KSES serves as an independent layer of accountability focused solely on the owner’s interests.
The service is intentionally quiet. Success is measured by early detection, clear documentation, and the absence of surprises. Clients engage KSES when the asset matters too much to be left to assumption or informal supervision.
Property managers manage activity. Vendors perform tasks. KSES protects the asset.
