Why A Home Watch service
Having a neighbor stop in periodically as a favor to check your home may initially seem like a good idea. However, when a serious issue arises or you need someone to take swift action on your behalf, your property can quickly become an imposition to your neighbor. That is why it is important to have a trained professional methodically inspect your home, complete a detailed inspection report per visit, and have the ability to swiftly coordinate licensed professionals to assist in the repair and maintenance of your home when something goes awry.
I make it clear to our clients that we are not home inspectors or mold inspectors. That line of work carries a much different degree of training and state certification. Our job as “homewatch” inspectors is to visually inspect your home and property for obvious issues. If we notice any abnormalities, we immediately report it to you, and assist in coordinating licensed professionals to remedy the situation on your behalf in your absence. Essentially, we become an advocate for you in your absence, as a trusted resource.
We manage and perform home watch inspections, provide concierge services, and coordinate maintenance and service of residential properties. So if you are an absentee owner and have a vacation home, residential home, or an investment property…then you need us! Remember…unforeseen damage can happen at any time. Your furnace may go out, leaving your home victim to freeze damage. A ceiling leak from a second floor condo may cause costly water damage to your property as well. Many things can go wrong in 30 days in an unattended property. That is why we strongly recommend 2-4 homewatch inspection visits per month.
