We serve home owners and condo owners who have properties that are left unattended for long periods of time. This could be a seasonal homeowner like a snow bird, someone who frequently travels back and forth from two locations throughout the year, folks who have just purchased a home and aren’t ready to move in quite yet, investment owners who are in between tenants or vacation times. We also serve families who may have just inherited a home and don’t live nearby and need a watchful eye and a helpful resource for all things home management. We also serve folks who may be living in the home but are in the hospital or rehab, or are recovering from surgery and need assistance with grocery shopping, running errands, and checking the home functions while they are unable.

We are truly your partner in home management.

Furthermore, we are accredited with the National Home Watch Association where we’ve been thoroughly vetted every year, by criminal and business background checks, and follow a strict code of ethics and best practices. Being a part of this community, we are also always learning from others in the industry.

For your protection, we are bonded, insured and licensed.

Asking a neighbor to check your home is a great idea, however, here are a few things you might want to think about:

1.     They are most likely not trained to spot potential problems.

2.     They aren’t licensed or insured.

3.     They won’t be able to provide you with the proper documentation to provide to your insurance company if you need to file a claim.

4.     They may become ill, too busy, simply forget to check your home, or need to go out of town.

5. If there is a problem and it's not handled correctly, it may cause tension between you.

Home Watch is what we do every day. We have experience and we have systems in place so things aren’t overlooked.

If a problem is spotted, we’ll take immediate to stop it, for instance your water heater is leaking, we’ll turn off the breaker and water supply and move anything that may have gotten wet or in the way. We’ll call you immediately and recommend a next course of action. When you’ve decided how you’d like to proceed, we’ll meet the vendor, and ensure the work is completed to your satisfaction. We have an extensive vendor list with recommended vendors if you don’t already have a vendor or service provider you like.

Yes. We have a home watch agreement that outlines the specifics of our duties to clarify exactly what we’ll do for you and have a mutual understanding with each other. This agreement can be cancelled or extended as needed.

In our professional experience, we recommend weekly visits to your home. As you know, anything can happen at any time, even if we prepare. In the event of an issue, every minute counts. We do offer biweekly and monthly services to best match your budget but in all honesty, if a problem occurs and festers, you’ll end up spending a lot more in repairs if it goes unnoticed for too long.

Yes! We are a great resource for all of your home needs with licensed, insured, experienced, trustworthy vendors that we have created great relationships with. We’d be happy to share our list with you upon request.
