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

Estate Care

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.
