We’ve owned and managed our own properties across resort markets. That experience informs everything about how we operate — from how we document a visit to how we communicate a problem. We’ve been the homeowner waiting for a report. We know what you need to hear and when you need to hear it.
Each visit follows an NHWA-aligned checklist covering exterior, interior, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, environmental, and smart home systems. Every area is covered.
You receive a GPS-verified, timestamped photo report after each visit — conditions documented with notes on anything that needs attention. Designed to support insurance claims if you ever need them. Delivered within one business day.
Temperature, humidity, moisture readings with calibrated instruments. We look for signs of water intrusion, HVAC issues, and elevated moisture levels — catching concerns early.
Doors checked, windows checked, smart home status confirmed, cameras confirmed operational. We physically test locks on each visit.
Smoke detectors, CO detectors, and fire extinguishers — checked for presence, condition, and expiration every visit. Our team brings 8 years of fire service experience to every visit. This isn't a checklist item — it's instinct.
We don't just look at your plumbing — we run faucets, flush toilets, open cabinets, and check supply lines. Active checks can catch problems that passive observation misses.
A running digital record of your property's condition over time. Invaluable for insurance claims, resale documentation, and tracking what's changed between seasons.
Vetted. Background checked. Screened for consumer complaints. Insurance verified and always available for review.
Trained. Ongoing education. Industry best practices. Standardized protocols — consistent across visits, properties, and seasons.
Accountable. Bound by the NHWA Code of Ethics. Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. Full documentation.
Insured — correctly. Bonded and fully insured for Home Watch and stewardship services.
No vetting. No background check requirement. No complaint screening. No way to verify they carry proper insurance — or any insurance at all.
No standards. No required training. No protocol. No consistency. Each visit is whatever they feel like doing that day.
No accountability. No code of ethics. No oversight body. If something goes wrong, you have no recourse beyond a lawsuit.
Your liability. If an uninsured operator damages your property or is injured on-site, you may be personally liable.
Anyone can call themselves a "home watch" provider. Accreditation is the difference between a professional with verified credentials and insurance — and someone with a key to your house.
A toilet runs continuously. Water bill spikes. No visible damage yet, but the meter is spinning. A slow leak under the kitchen sink begins dripping onto the subfloor.
HVAC condensate drain clogs. Humidity climbs. Mold begins forming behind furniture and inside closets. The running toilet has now wasted thousands of gallons. Salt air has begun corroding exterior hardware.
The kitchen leak has warped the subfloor and reached the crawlspace. Mold remediation is now a $15K–$40K job. Pest colony has established inside the walls. Insurance adjuster asks: "When was the property last checked?"
The running toilet is caught on the first visit — a $25 flapper fix. The leak under the sink is documented with photos on day 14. The condensate drain is flushed for $35. Total cost: under $100. Total damage prevented: tens of thousands.
Professional Home Watch creates a documented record of regular property assessments — giving you and your insurer evidence that your home was actively maintained during your absence.
See How We Document Your PropertyWhen a family member passes, relocates to assisted living, or enters a trust — the property still needs someone watching. We provide ongoing stewardship during probate, trust administration, or estate settlement. Monthly documented visits, vendor coordination, and insurance-compliant records until the property transfers or sells. Typical engagements run 6 to 18 months.
Regular Watch visits on the same NHWA-accredited protocol. Vendor coordination for lawn, pool, and maintenance. Insurance-compliant documentation for the executor or trustee. Show-ready prep when the listing goes live.
Estate attorneys, elder law firms, trust administrators, fiduciaries, and family members managing a loved one's property from out of state. We work with whoever is authorized to make decisions about the property.
Home Watch isn't just about documenting — it's about acting on what we find. Here's how we handle it.
We find the issue, source the right local vendor, schedule the appointment, confirm access, and let you know when it's handled.
The vendor shows up — and so do we. We let them in, oversee the work, document completion with photos, verify scope, and lock up when they leave.
Multi-vendor projects need someone managing the timeline, verifying progress, coordinating handoffs, and reporting back with photos and updates.
Deferred maintenance costs 3–5× more to fix than to prevent. A maintained home sells faster and commands more. We keep yours there year-round — so the investment pays for itself long before you ever list.
