Did you know some homeowner insurance companies stipulate that a home is “vacant” if left unoccupied for more than 30 days? You must take steps to provide additional coverage if you will be leaving the home empty. Insurance companies may require additional coverage in these cases because a vacant home is more vulnerable to theft and damage if it isn’t being looked after.
“Our Home Watcher, LLC” will keep a watchful eye on your home while you’re away. We will provide you with peace of mind by being your eyes and ears. We will customize our services to meet your personal needs.
When a review of your property is done, a report of any issues were found, and the action taken. Photographs of any problems will be sent with the report following each visit. In the event of an emergency, we will take the necessary action to secure your property and contact you for further instructions. For non-emergency issues, we will contact you to discuss your options and how you want the matter handled. If repairs are needed at your home, we can make arrangements with your preferred service provider or help you contact licensed and bonded vendors.
