We understand that your home is your most valuable asset and that you want to ensure it is safe, secure, and well-maintained when you are away. Our home watch services are designed to provide you with peace of mind knowing that your property is being cared for by a professional and experienced team. 

We take great pride in our work and are committed to delivering exceptional service to our clients.

A second homeowner who wants to protect their sizable real estate investment has only three options:

1. Leave the home shut down while they’re gone and hope for the best.
2. Ask a friend, relative, or neighbor to check the house regularly.
3. Hire a pro who knows what to do when something goes wrong – and it will!

Almost all home insurance companies require regular home checks for unoccupied homes over extended periods, and relying on friends or neighbors won’t satisfy this requirement.

It’s important to understand that a home watch service is different from a security service, a home inspection service, a house-sitting service, or a property manager. Rather, it’s a specialized service that provides regular inspections of your property to ensure everything is in order and to identify any potential issues or concerns.

As the number of second homes has grown, so has the need for someone to take care of both the primary residence and second homes while the owners are away. A home is a major investment that requires professional care to prevent and control damage and risks from everything from a leaky faucet that can result in thousands of dollars of damage to natural disasters.

With Yuma Home Watch, you won’t have to worry about leaky toilets, storms, mold, insect invasions, dead landscaping, or malfunctioning appliances. We perform regular checks of both the exterior and interior of your unoccupied home, using a checklist based on industry standards, and customize with you to ensure your peace of mind.  Our check will cover everything from security and vandalism to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. We use reporting software to provide you with detailed reports, including pictures, that will be sent to your email address the same day the report is generated.

In case of a storm or other weather event, we can perform a special unscheduled event check upon your approval to catch any problems as quickly as possible and assess any damage. This can prevent expensive damage, ensure the security of your property, and provide peace of mind for you as an absentee owner. We are your “boots on the ground” while you’re thousands of miles away.

It’s almost certain that something will quit or malfunction if your home is left unattended for months at a time. That’s why a home watch service is essential to catch problems early and address them before they become major issues.
