Have A Game-Plan: A vacant home is a vulnerable home and it’s important to stack the deck in your favor. The more preventative measures taken to prep your home for when you’re away, the less chance there is for something to go wrong. Along with preparation, it’s important to have a game-plan for when you’re away. A crucial part of that game-plan is to have a homewatch professional conduct regular visits of your vacant home and provide you with a report of their findings each visit.

Electronic Reports: A detailed Homewatch Inspection Report is completed during each inspection displaying the condition of your property along with the date and time the inspection was completed. All of our Homewatch Inspection Reports are completed electronically through the GoCanvas software system and emailed directly to the client. The GoCanvas software has built in GPS, so you will know that an inspector was actually at your property.

Pricing: We believe in running our business transparently and provide our starting off rates up front for a basic home watch inspection visit (based off frequency and total square footage).  Each property is unique and each client’s specific needs are unique. Set pricing will be determined once the property is viewed and will be based off client’s specific needs. Additional services are offered and priced separately.
