Still Home | Private Household Management, South Bay California

Why Still Home Exists

A well-run home should feel invisible

You shouldn't have to think about the contractor's timeline, the vendor's estimate, or whether the gardener showed up. When your home runs seamlessly, you're free to focus on your family, your career, and yourself.

Still Home was founded on a simple belief: your home should be your sanctuary, not your second job.

"The feeling of coming home to everything handled."

Beyond the Retainer

More ways we can help

Add-on services are available to retainer clients or as standalone projects. Many clients start with a single project and never look back.

Get in Touch

Some clients start with a single project.

A move-in, a seasonal reset, an event. There's no wrong entry point — and many clients who start with a project never manage their home any other way again.

Event Planning & Coordination

From a dinner party for twelve to a larger gathering with outside vendors, Still Home handles logistics, timing, and setup so you can be the host, not the coordinator.

Home Organization & Seasonal Styling

Whether it's a full seasonal reset, renovation oversight, or simply getting the house in order before guests arrive. Done thoughtfully, with your home's specific finishes and preferences in mind.

Home Watch & Vacancy Check-Ins

Weekly visits and a photo report sent directly to you while you're away. Peace of mind from anywhere.

Move-In Coordination & Home Setup

Utilities connected, vendors scheduled, pantry stocked, linens on the beds. Walk through the door to a home that's already yours.

Getting Started

Simple from the first conversation

We keep onboarding intentionally effortless, so you start feeling the difference right away.

Consultation

A complimentary conversation to understand your home, your lifestyle, and what you'd love to hand off. No pressure, no commitment.

Custom Plan

We build a management plan around the way you actually live — your vendors, your preferences, your priorities.

Onboarding

We meet your team, learn your home, and take the reins. Most clients feel the difference within the first week.

"Connections that take a lifetime to build, available to you from day one."

About the Founder

Melissa (Huttinger) Bann

Melissa Bann is a fourth-generation South Bay local and the founder of Still Home.

Her background spans years supporting ultra-high-net-worth families and family offices — across complex logistics, high-profile events, and the kind of high-touch operations where every detail quietly matters. Her vendor relationships across the South Bay run decades deep. That kind of network takes a lifetime to build, and it makes an immediate difference for every client she serves.

She founded Still Home because she kept seeing the same thing: busy, capable people spending their limited free time managing a house instead of living in it.

There is a better way. Still Home is it.

Client Stories

What Still Home clients say

I used to carry a constant mental list of everything happening at home, waking up at night thinking about what still needed attention. Working with Melissa has changed that completely. I can hand things off, trust they are handled, and enjoy being home again.

Hermosa Beach Homeowner

Melissa was organized, detail oriented and tailored her advice and suggestions to satisfy my goals for my home. She made the entire process fun and stress free. I highly recommend Melissa and her company Still Home for home management services.
