Second Home Management LLC provides luxury home management in Palm Beach, FL, for owners who spend part of the year somewhere else. Thomas Rymer looks after each home himself: weekly inspections with a written report and photos, preparing the house before you leave and before you return, storm prep and takedown, and 24/7 response when something goes wrong. One person holds your keys, and you call him directly.
A house on the island can sit empty for months while its owners are away. These are the reasons Palm Beach homeowners hand its care to Thomas:
Thomas Rymer is the person who walks through your Palm Beach home on each visit. There is no rotating crew and no middleman, so the person who knows your alarm, your pool equipment and your preferences is the same person who picks up when you call. His background in real estate finance, construction management and public accounting shapes how he looks after a house and the paperwork that comes with it.
Thomas inspects your home on a weekly schedule, inside and out, looking for leaks, humidity, pests and any system that has stopped working as it should. After each visit you receive a written report with photos, so you know how the house is doing without flying down to check.
Over a year, landscapers, pool service, HVAC technicians, cleaners and repair crews may all need to get into an island home. Thomas schedules them, lets them in, supervises the work and inspects it before and after, so fewer people carry your codes and nothing is left half done. You deal with one point of contact instead of a list of vendors.
Palm Beach is a seasonal town, and many owners spend the hotter months up north or overseas. Thomas keeps the house secure and maintained while you are gone, and has it ready for the day you return.
The Town of Palm Beach sits on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth Lagoon, across the water from West Palm Beach. Its homes run from oceanfront estates to houses on the lagoon side, and much of the town follows the season, busy in winter and quiet in summer. Salt air, summer storms and long empty stretches are what a home here needs watching for, and they are what a weekly inspection is there to catch.
Call or text Thomas at (561) 771-6030, or send a note through the contact page, to arrange a consultation. He will walk you through how he would look after your home while you are away.

No. Thomas does not handle leasing, tenants or rent collection. His work is estate management for owners: looking after the house itself while you are away and while you are in residence, so it stays secure, maintained and ready for you.
It covers weekly inspections with a written report and photos, preparing the house before you leave and before you return, hurricane prep and takedown, 24/7 response to leaks and alarms, and supervision of the contractors who work on the property. Thomas provides each of these himself, so one person knows your home from season to season.
