Questions
Helpful answers before you call.
Every property is different. These general answers explain how a home-watch conversation can begin.
What is a home watch visit?
It is a scheduled visual observation of an unoccupied or intermittently occupied property. The agreed checklist determines the areas reviewed and how findings are communicated.
Is home watch the same as a home inspection?
No. Home watch does not replace a licensed home inspection, trade professional, security system, or emergency service. It provides an extra local set of eyes on agreed conditions.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing can depend on the property, visit frequency, checklist, travel, and any additional coordination requested. Call to discuss the property and request a quote.
What happens if a concern is found?
The contact and escalation plan should be agreed in advance. A typical first step is to notify you or your designated contact so you can decide what happens next.
Can a visit happen after severe weather?
A storm follow-up may be available depending on conditions, safe access, and scheduling. Ask about this when setting up your plan.
What should I prepare before leaving?
Prepare current contact information, access instructions, emergency contacts, the location of key shutoffs, and any property-specific concerns you want included in the checklist.
