Our Services

Peace of mind! That’s what I am talking about!

Here are some of the services you will receive during each visit along with some additional services Nosey Neighbor Home Watch offers. We will also discuss any additional services you may need during our in-home consultation – we know that not every home is the same, so we want to address your home’s specific needs. Please note, basic services are included in the price for the weekly visit, and additional charges will be included for any other services. A Home Watch Inspection Report will be completed and sent to you after each inspection. These will all be discussed and part of our service agreement.

Pre and Post Storm Checks

With hurricane season starting on June 1st and going through November 30th, it is always my recommendation that we conduct hurricane preparation on your home prior to June 1st. This includes securing “loose” objects around the exterior of your home and if you have shutters, I will help coordinate services to have them installed. It is not realistic to try and conduct these services when it is determined a storm is heading in our direction due to the nature of storms, their unpredictability, and the short time frame.

Once a storm has passed, it is imperative to allow emergency responders and utility companies the right of way for life-saving measures and to ensure the safety of the roadways. Upon earliest ability and in an organized matter, I will conduct post-storm checks and provide detailed reports via the Home Watch IT system pending internet and power capabilities.

Key Holder & Management Services

  • Single point of contact for entry into your home which alleviates multiple people with ability to gain access; and
  • Family, Friends, or Renter Check-in & Check-out

Vendor & Service Provider Management

  • Assist with coordinating services from licensed professionals;
  • Provide updates on work conducted and/or services rendered; and
  • Ensure your home is secured once licensed professional has left the premise.

Emergency Services Response

Regular business hours are Monday – Friday 8:00am – 4:00pm (eastern time zone). While Nosey Neighbor Home Watch is not a 24/7/365 company, I will do my best to assist during after-hours and on weekends for any emergencies that may arise.

Real-time Reporting

During my home watch visit, I will be generating a report via the Home Watch IT system. This report will be sent to you real-time along with indicating time and location of where the report was generated, so you never have to question if your home is truly being visited. If there are any issues, they will be included in the report along with pictures; however, if an issue requires immediate attention, you will also receive a phone call from me so we can determine the needed course of action and how I can help facilitate. The Home Watch IT system will also have a Client Portal that will allow you to send me messages of important information and/or dates you anticipate being in your home to alleviate any undue charges for a visit that was not necessary or an early wake-up call when you’re on vacation and trying to sleep in.
