Property walkthrough

MORE CLARITY. LESS WORRY.

Know how your home is doing.

A repeatable checklist, a record of each visit, and useful information when something changes.

Attention to the
everyday essentials.

I look for visible changes in the areas that matter most when your home is empty.

  • Interior temperature and thermostat readings
  • Visible leaks, moisture, and signs of pests
  • Doors, windows, and accessible living spaces
  • Agreed appliance and utility checks

A careful look
around your property.

Exterior checks help identify obvious concerns and changes between your visits.

  • Entrances, walkways, and accessible grounds
  • Signs of damage or attempted entry
  • Visible siding, roof, and gutter conditions from the ground
  • Seasonal concerns, including snow-clearing observations

More than
“everything looks fine.”

A photographic report gives you a useful record of what I saw and checked.

  • Visit date and completed checklist
  • Photos and property observations
  • Concerns that need your attention
  • Follow-up items to discuss or arrange

Your home. Your checklist.

We agree on the visit frequency and checks before service begins. Weekly or every-other-week visits can be discussed around your second home, the season, and how often you use the property. Mail and package collection is included during scheduled visits. Readable fuel-level checks, outbuildings, and additional tasks are agreed during setup.

Clear next steps when something changes.

I flag concerns and contact you using the communication plan agreed for your home. For urgent situations, that plan identifies your emergency contacts, relevant local services, and the actions you’ve authorized. Photos and notes help keep the situation documented.

Help connecting the right people.

When a repair or specialist assessment is needed, you choose the contractor. By prior arrangement, I can provide property access and share observations or photos after the visit, helping you coordinate work from a distance.

IS HOME WATCH A FIT FOR YOUR HOME?

For homes that spend time unoccupied.

Home Watch is most useful when a property sits empty between visits and its owner wants someone to physically check accessible areas. The right fit depends on how the home is used, the systems present, and the access we can safely arrange together.

Second & vacation homes

A ski house or weekend retreat that sits empty between trips. Visits can document temperature displays, visible moisture, entry conditions, and changes since the last check.

Condos & townhomes

Association maintenance may cover the exterior while your own unit stays unoccupied. We agree on accessible interior checks and follow association rules. Shared spaces and building systems are outside the scope unless specifically agreed.

Cabins & cottages

Mountain cabins and seasonal cottages may be considered where safe entry and a practical checklist are possible. A winterized or unheated property needs different instructions; Home Watch does not reopen, winterize, or certify its systems.

Seasonal primary residences

Your regular home may be empty during extended travel or a season away. A scheduled local visit can provide photos and observations until you return.

Vacation rentals between stays

For owners managing from a distance, agreed checks during vacant periods can add a local view of the property. This is separate from guest management, cleaning, turnovers, or continuous guest support.

Homes with particular concerns

Older homes, detached structures, readable fuel gauges, and recurring visible concerns can be discussed at the walkthrough. Extra buildings and tasks are not automatically included; access and scope are agreed first.

CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

What makes a property a practical fit?

Home Watch is a scheduled visual inspection for obvious issues. It is not a technical building inspection, repair service, continuous security monitoring, or a guarantee against problems between visits. If a home needs urgent repairs or specialist oversight, those needs should be handled by the appropriate professional.

CLEAR MONTHLY PRICING

A schedule that fits your home.

Compare weekly and every-other-week visits in the Local, Extended, and Outer zones. Choose your visit frequency with clear monthly pricing and no six-month commitment.
