ABOUT US
Your partner in mastering modern estate ownership.
Estatewyze was born from the real-world experience of managing complex, high-value homes — not as a luxury, but as a necessity. We understand the behind-the-scenes challenges that come with owning multiple or high-maintenance properties, especially when life is busy, and your time is limited.
That’s why we created Estatewyze: a curated resource for homeowners, household staff, and advisors seeking clear, actionable guidance. From understanding your home’s hidden systems to building maintenance routines that actually work, we bring insider knowledge to the surface, without the industry fluff.
Whether you’re settling into a new estate, managing a family property portfolio, or simply trying to avoid costly mistakes, Estatewyze gives you the tools and insight to take control.
Who’s Behind Estatewyze
Estatewyze was founded by Melissa Shymko, a trusted advisor in the world of private home management and founder of Project Preservation, a company known for its white-glove oversight of luxury estates across California.
Melissa and her team have managed over $500 million in property assets, bringing structure, discretion, and hands-on expertise to households with complex needs. Their work supporting ultra-high-net-worth families inspired the creation of Estatewyze, a platform built to empower more homeowners with the same level of insight and support.
While Melissa leads the vision, Estatewyze is also shaped by:
-
Preservationists and account managers from Project Preservation, who contribute real-world field notes and insider guidance.
-
Specialist contributors — from trusted electricians and appliance techs to pool experts and housekeepers — who lend their know-how to specific topics.
-
A growing community of homeowners, advisors, and vendors who share one thing in common: they want to make estate ownership smarter, not harder.
