Services

This service is for seasonal residents or frequent travelers.  We do extensive weekly or biweekly checks of your property, performing all of the duties on your custom checklist. We carry an arsenal of tools, such as a high-powered flashlight, humidity reader, laser thermometer, and moisture meter, which we use to validate our findings. We use the latest digital technology with GPS-stamped and time-stamped reports, with notes and photos of any concerns.

During our home checks, we often report situations that require a service technician to come in.  We will meet with your air conditioner technician, pest control, work with mold remediation contractors, roof repairs, furniture deliveries, whatever the case may be.  We work with clients who are undergoing home renovations, providing photos of the progress and ensuring that the thermostat is returned to the normal temperature, that the doors are locked, and everything is moving along. 

We can arrange to have your home cleaned or pressure washed before your return.

We can also meet your grocery delivery service and put your groceries away, so you come home to a stocked refrigerator.

If you don't need a full home watch service, but you need someone to occasionally meet contractors, respond to a delivery, let your houseguests in and brief them on the property, or maybe you've locked yourself out one too many times, then our keyholder service is perfect.  We keep your keys locked away in a safe with a coded tag.  You no longer have to entrust your friends and neighbors with access to your home or hide a spare key under a rock.  

We check on unoccupied and vacant properties that are on the market.  Homeowners' insurance has specific rules relating to unoccupied properties, and coverage isn't always guaranteed.  We will do weekly or biweekly checks to see that the air conditioning is functioning, the humidity levels are within the proper range, the pool and lawn are being serviced, there is no vandalism, pests, or piles of flyers in the driveway.  We will tidy up and remove realtors' cards that have been left behind.
