For owners of a Paris second home
Your Second Home in Paris, Looked After While You Are Away
If you live outside Paris for most of the year, CRG SERVICES can provide local presence: checking the apartment, coordinating agreed services, and giving you clear updates from the ground.
Owning a second home in Paris from a distance
An apartment may stand empty for months, but the building, its systems, and the practical needs of the property do not pause. The real question is who can go there when you cannot.
A leak, signs of damp, a power issue, or faulty equipment may begin quietly. A scheduled visit gives the owner facts instead of an assumption that everything is fine.
When an inspection or repair is needed, someone must provide access, confirm what was found, and check whether the agreed work was completed.
Apartment checks, cleaning, and agreed interventions can be organised before your trip so the property is reviewed and ready when you arrive.
When you are not in Paris
The scope is agreed in advance around the property, its location, and your periods away. Every important check is documented.
Scheduled property visits
We check the general condition and visible changes that an owner cannot assess from a distance.
Visible risk checks
We look for signs of water or damp, issues with basic systems, equipment, and other apparent problems.
Photos and on-site updates
After an important inspection, you receive specific information and a suggested next step if action is needed.
Access for agreed contractors
We arrange timing, on-site presence, and practical communication when a contractor needs to enter the apartment.
Cleaning organisation
Cleaning can be arranged during a longer absence or as part of preparing the property before you return.
Follow-up on agreed work
You know what was done, when it was done, and whether a further decision is required.
Before you arrive in Paris
Tell us when you plan to arrive, and within the agreed scope we check what needs to be done before you open the door.
A check before your stay
The visit confirms whether the apartment is in the expected condition and identifies anything that needs attention before your journey.
Cleaning and practical preparation
As agreed, we organise cleaning and check whether any additional intervention is needed.
An update before you travel
You receive clear confirmation of what was checked and completed without trying to manage the details remotely.
When something happens while you are away
A problem in an unoccupied apartment cannot always be assessed by phone. Local presence makes it possible to check the facts, document the condition, and organise the next step.
We first establish what can be seen on site and whether the situation needs an urgent response or a scheduled appointment.
If a contractor is needed, we arrange access and practical communication within the authority agreed with the owner.
For response arrangements, contractor coordination, and reporting, see our emergency apartment interventions in Paris.
Local support for your Paris property
Second-home property care connects several practical services. You use only those that fit your apartment and the way you spend time in Paris.
Apartment inspection and maintenance
Regular visits and condition records are explained in our apartment inspection and maintenance service.
Cleaning organisation
For cleaning during an absence or before your arrival, see our apartment cleaning organisation in Paris.
Contractor supervision
When you cannot attend work in person, read about our contractor supervision in Paris.
Local owner support
For a broader operational relationship, including situations involving tenants, see local owner support for Paris apartments.
Paris and selected parts of Île-de-France
We work primarily in Paris and selected parts of Île-de-France. Before starting, we confirm whether the location and required level of support fit the way we operate.
Visit frequency, travel time, and property type affect whether we can take responsibility for the work properly.
We work with a limited number of clients so local presence and direct communication remain a real part of the service.
Who this service is for
This is not rental management or an Airbnb concierge service. It is for an owner who uses the property occasionally and wants a trusted local point of contact.
An owner living outside France
For someone who needs a local contact because returning quickly is not possible when a practical issue appears.
A family with a Paris second home
For a family visiting a few times each year that wants the property checked before an important stay.
A new Paris apartment owner
For an owner who has completed the purchase and now needs a dependable local routine for the apartment.
An owner who travels frequently
For someone who spends most of their time elsewhere but wants continuity of oversight in Paris.
How we arrange care for your Paris second home
A conversation about the property and your time away
We discuss location, how you use the apartment, when you are normally away, and the situations that concern you most.
Agreed scope and authority
We define check frequency, access arrangements, when you are contacted, and which steps need prior approval.
On-site work and documentation
We carry out the agreed checks and service coordination, with clear updates and photographs when relevant.
Adjustment through experience
The scope changes only when a genuine need appears. Work can begin with one property and a limited set of tasks.
The working relationship is based on the property's actual needs. The owner keeps the decisions, and CRG SERVICES acts within boundaries agreed in advance.
Questions about second home management in Paris
How do I manage a second home in Paris while living abroad?

Can someone check my Paris apartment before I arrive?
Yes. We can check the general condition before your stay and arrange agreed cleaning or an intervention if needed.
Can you organise maintenance for a second home in Paris?
We can coordinate and follow up on agreed contractors and work. Scope and expense approval are defined in advance.
