Description
An Estate Manager is a land manager for a privately owned island, much like a landlord. Estate managers have control over settings for the entire island (sim) which they manage, and settings that they change occur on a global level, therefore affecting all parcels of land on that particular island.
Appointment
Estate Managers are employed by owners of private islands (estate owners) to assist in the day-to-day operations of managing thier island(s).
Responsibilites
While individual responsibilites differ from island to island, many estate managers share a basic set of common responsibilites, as listed below...
Covenant Enforcement
Most privately owned islands have established covenants which describe to the residents that occupy the parcels within which types of activites are acceptable, and which are not. It is often the responsibility of the estate manager to monitor the island(s) for violations of this covenant and not only notify the owner of the parcel which is in violation, but also provide consequences if the violation is not remedied in a acceptable amount of time from said notification. In some cases, the estate manager is also responsible for assisting the parcel owner in resolving the violation in any way they can.
Land Sales
Many estate managers are responsible for selling available parcels of land on islands which they manage. This is generally only required when a privately owned island is first placed on the market, as once the parcels have been purchased by individual users, it commonly becomes their responsibility to sell the parcel when they desire to move away from it.
Dispute Resolution
As privately owned islands are commonly divided into seperate parcels of land for purchase by many different residents, those occupying neighboring parcels of land can have complaints to lodge against one another, or even worse, get into disputes with each other. The estate manager is often bestowed responsibility of mediating such disputes so that an acceptable resolution for all parties is reached.
