Home Watch and Concierge Services

Your Home Looked After While You're Away


Whether the Beach is your second home, vacation home, or simply a property you don't occupy year-round, it's invaluable to have someone local monitoring your space. 


I offer dependable home watch services, providing scheduled interior and exterior checks of your property while you're away. I will look for signs of water leaks, storm damage, maintenance issues, security concerns, and other problems that are better caught early. With a background in Real Estate investing as a landlord and house flipper, I have an awareness of prioritizing maintenance issues. 


More Than Just a Home Check


Need something handled while you're out of town? Our concierge services can assist in coordinating vendors, checking your property after a storm, managing package or delivery concerns, taking care of minor maintenance items, and preparing your home before you return. 


The goal is simple. One reliable local contact for your property management when you can't be here. 


If Something Isn't Right, You'll Know


The last thing you want is to come to your beach home after have been away for a period of time to find issues that could have been avoided if only there were just a few routine checks. If I find an issue during a visit, I'll contact you promptly, provide photos and details, and help determine the best next step. When possible, I can take care of minor repairs myself or assist in coordinating the appropriate professional. 


Home Watch is ideal for:

- Second-home and vacation-home owners

- Seasonal residents and snowbirds

- Frequent travelers

- Extended vacations

- Vacant properties

- Homeowners preparing to return to the area


You enjoy your time away. I'll help keep an eye on things back home.

This is not what you want to come home to...(BTW, this actually happened).
