[Easemakers Podcast E101] Maintaining luxury ski homes

How do you protect a home that has to withstand 400 inches of snow per year?

Maintaining a ski property is unlike managing any other type of second home — even if you’re used to snow and cold weather.

Paul Benson is the Co-founder and CEO of Engel & Völkers Gestalt Group, and he’s watched Park City real estate evolve over the past 20 years. He’s seen homeowners neglect their investments, run into surprises with weather and wildlife, and overlook issues that led to costly challenges with radon and mold.

In this episode of the Easemakers Podcast, Paul shares how to maintain luxury ski properties so they stay in perfect shape — both for when guests arrive and in the long term for when the owners decide to sell.

Tune in to hear:

• How the right inspections can save millions in repairs
• The realities of living with wildlife and weather in a ski town
• The complexities of hiring household staff and vendors in high-cost neighborhoods
