Frequently Asked Questions
What is home watch and how is it different from property management?
Home watch services focus on regularly inspecting and caring for homes while owners are away. Unlike property management, which typically handles rental properties and tenants, home watch services are designed for private residences and second homes, ensuring the property remains secure, maintained, and ready for your return.
How often are home inspections performed?
Most homes are inspected on a weekly basis, though customized schedules can be arranged depending on the homeowner’s needs and the property. Each visit includes a thorough interior and exterior check and a detailed report.
What does a routine inspection include?
During each inspection we check for issues such as water leaks, HVAC performance, security concerns, storm damage, pest activity, and general maintenance concerns. After each visit, you receive a detailed report with notes and photos.
Will I receive updates about my home?
Yes. After every inspection you receive a report with photos, so you always know the condition of your home even when you’re miles away.
What happens if you find a problem during an inspection?
If an issue is identified, we notify you immediately and recommend next steps. With your approval, we coordinate trusted vendors to resolve the issue quickly and efficiently.
Do you coordinate maintenance and repairs?
Yes. We coordinate and oversee trusted local vendors for maintenance, repairs, and routine service appointments, ensuring work is completed properly and your home receives reliable care.
Can you prepare my home before I arrive?
Absolutely. Our pre-arrival services ensure your home is clean, comfortable, and fully prepared. We can adjust climate controls, stock essentials, arrange housekeeping, and make sure everything is ready for your stay.
What happens during severe weather or storms?
We provide storm preparation and post-storm inspections. Before severe weather we help secure your property, and after the storm we inspect for damage and coordinate any necessary repairs.
