Estate care
Estate home watch for owners who need more than a checklist.
Our estate home watch service gives seasonal and absentee owners a trusted local presence. We check visible conditions, document what matters, coordinate next steps, and keep the owner informed before small issues become expensive surprises.
- Routine visual check-ins
- Photo-informed owner updates
- Vendor access coordination
- Storm and arrival readiness
Estate Care
What we monitor
Each property is different, so every routine starts with visible condition checks and owner-specific priorities.
- Exterior doors, windows, gates, visible roofline concerns, drainage clues, and obvious storm or water issues
- Interior temperature, humidity clues, odors, leaks, lighting, appliance alerts, and obvious maintenance concerns
- Pool, landscape, driveway, dock, garage, vehicle, and access-point status where those items are part of the agreed scope
- Mail, package, contractor access, and time-sensitive owner requests
Estate Care
How we report
Owners receive concise, useful updates with photos where they add clarity and escalation notes when something needs attention.
- Scheduled check-in summaries
- Issue-first escalation when something needs owner approval
- A record of what was checked, what changed, and what was coordinated
- Clear distinction between observations and licensed/trade conclusions

Questions
Common questions before a consultation.
Is home watch the same as a home inspection?
No. Home watch is a visual check of obvious conditions and agreed owner priorities. It is not a licensed inspection, mold inspection, roof inspection, wind mitigation inspection, or repair diagnosis.
Who is this best for?
Seasonal residents, second-home owners, absentee homeowners, and private clients who want a trusted local operator checking the property and coordinating next steps.
