What is Home Watch?
Home watch services provide professional monitoring and protection for residential homes and condominiums while the homeowner is away for extended periods. When any abnormalities or concerns are identified, they are promptly reported to the homeowner, and licensed professionals can be coordinated to address the issue on the client’s behalf. In essence, our home watch services act as a trusted advocate for homeowners in their absence. During each visit, we perform a comprehensive home watch inspection—a visual review of the property focused on identifying obvious problems before they escalate.
An unoccupied home is a vulnerable home, which is why proactive planning is essential. The more preventative steps taken before leaving, the lower the risk of unexpected issues. A key part of that preparation is scheduling regular visits from a professional home watch service. These routine inspections ensure your vacant or seasonal home or condo is checked consistently, and you receive a detailed report after every visit.
Electronic Reports: Each visit includes a detailed Home Watch Inspection Report documenting the condition of your property, along with the exact date and time the inspection was completed.
There are many reasons to rely on a professional home watch service. Some of the most important include:
- Security: A professional home watch service adds an important layer of security. Regular visits help deter unwanted activity, and any suspicious findings are reported immediately to the homeowner, helping protect the property from potential damage.
- Maintenance: Home watch services help ensure your property remains properly maintained while you are away. We check appliances, HVAC systems, water heaters, and other essential components to confirm they are functioning correctly. We also look for signs of water intrusion, pest activity, or other naturally occurring issues. In addition, we can follow up with your scheduled lawn care, pest control, and pool service providers. We also offer a variety of optional services that go beyond standard home watch inspections.
- Peace of Mind: One of the greatest benefits of using a professional home watch service is the peace of mind it provides. Knowing your home is being monitored, inspected, and cared for allows you to fully enjoy your time away without worry.
