Realtor & Broker Services
Selling a seasonal home to a second home buyer can be difficult. By having a local Home Watch Company to trust who could watch over and facilitate all the homes needs the Client could buy with confidence knowing it does not need to be a fearful burden. Buyers and Investors want to invest in our local Real Estate market but they don't know who will care for their property in their absence.

- Realtor support for maintenance/monitoring while on market

- Volume pricing available
Private Investors & Bank Owned Property Services
Some insurance companies require routine inspections while the property is vacant or unoccupied for more than 30 or 60 days (depending on your policy) of the home being vacant. This is particularly true of vacant property as many insurance providers are reluctant to insure a vacant property...
If they do and you have no proof the property was being looked after and damages occur, you might not be covered.
Therefore, in a homeowners policy, vacancy exclusions will remove coverage for vandalism, building glass breakage, water damage, theft or attempted theft if the damage occurs within 30 or 60 days (depending on your policy) of the home being vacant. Coverage for standard perils such as fire and wind remain intact.
Home Owner's Association (HOA) Services
If you are a Condominium Association or Home Owner's Association (HOA) official in need of a volume pricing for multiple units or have many seasonal residents, please call us to see if we can fulfill your needs.
Remember, we are professionally trained, bonded, and properly insured, (as some of of our competitors are not) and we are officially established with the State of Arizona as a corporation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I can hire my friend or neighbor to watch over my seasonal residence.
Can you expect them to visit on a regular schedule and to document each visit for Insurance purposes? What if damage occurs on their watch? Ask yourself if your friendship could be in jeopardy or even be lost.
What is the cost to have a Home Watch Service?
That is a very valid question but service varies based on what you need as a client. Its not a one type fits all scenario but we feel we are competitive based on the value of our services, technology used, and credentials of being professionally trained.
I will just take my chances that's why I have insurance!
Did you know that if you leave your seasonal residence for several weeks or months and damages occur, its possible that your insurance carrier might ask for proof that it was being looked after. If you cannot prove it was being looked after, they might consider you negligent and deny your claim. Now might be the time to inquire with your Agent. Even better, inquire with them to see if they offer savings for having a Home Watch service...
What's the frequency of home watch visits?
It's our best practice to visit the property weekly, bi-weekly or more frequently. We don't offer a monthly service. Be concerned if its offered as that's too long and could affect your homeowners insurance. Now might be a good time to review with your Insurance Agent. Ask if they provide discounts for having a professional Home Watch service...
Are you licensed, insured, background checked, and bonded?
Yes, with one exception and one that you need to understand. There is no license yet for Home Watching, so if a company states they are licensed beware and inquire about their license. However, we are a registered LLC and carry extensive insurance of $2 million in general liability and $4 million aggregate. We also are covered to drive vehicles as we have clients that have exotic cars. We are background checked by a 3rd Party organization and carry a surety bond of $10K. We are happy to provide our company credentials and you should be asking all Home Watch providers for this and a copy of their Certificate of Insurance as proof of coverages.
Why should I hire you?
Not only do we have a vested interest in our business by having a LLC, a higher level of insurance, and being professionally trained. We are highly ranked by our Clientele by having a 5 Star Google ranking. We are responsible for $60 million plus in seasonal properties. We also have invested in getting professional training and use best of breed home watch software and technology to provide exceptional home watch visits and reporting. We are not a simple walk through service! This is value to you our potential Client, knowing you have a professional company working on monitoring one of your largest assets!
