 Home Watch is known by many names: house watch, house check, home concierge, caretaker, absentee home service, property watch, and so on. Regardless of the name, a Home Watch service performs scheduled inspections of unoccupied or vacant properties while the owner is away. 

  These inspections include a basic check of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, as well as the overall condition of the home and property. Home Watch inspectors look at the house or condominium with a trained eye, making sure that everything is satisfactory. They look for leaks, pests and mold, all of which can be present in homes left alone for even the shortest interval. 

 Should the inspector find an issue or potential problem, they will immediately notify the homeowner. From there, the homeowner will instruct the Home Watch service as to how they want to proceed.  Home Watch adds a level of security to the vacant home. Property Patrol is the line of communication to the homeowner that provides peace of mind during their absence. 

 Actually, the question is, how can you not have one? So many things can happen to your home in your absence: break-ins, water leaks, electrical problems, insects, mold, and storms, to name a few. Conversely, preventive measures such as storm preparation and proactive maintenance should prevent many situations from arising. Even if you have a trusted neighbor or relative nearby, having a professional acting on your behalf is a much better and more effective option. 

If the inspector discovers an issue needing attention, we can coordinate additional services. These can include pest control, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, snow plowing, snow shoveling, and handyman services. Giving access to maintenance professionals and overseeing the project is a much needed service in your absence.  Concierge services can include housekeeping, Prep home for guest arrival and close down after guest departure.
