Sarasota Home Watch Services
Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly inspections for snowbirds, seasonal residents and second-home owners — with a detailed photo report after every single visit.
Choose the visit cadence that fits your home.
Most clients pick weekly or bi-weekly inspections, with custom add-ons for storm season, contractor access and pre-arrival prep.
Recommended for coastal homes, condo associations requiring weekly checks and homes in active storm season.
Our most popular plan — a thorough inspection every 14 days, all year round.
Ideal for newer homes with minimal systems, short absences or supplemental coverage.

Home Watch questions, answered
What's the difference between Home Watch and a property manager?
Property managers handle renters and rental income. Home Watch is for owners who aren't renting — we monitor your unoccupied home for problems and coordinate care, but we don't manage tenants.
What does a typical visit include?
A complete interior and exterior walkthrough using a consistent checklist — looking for water, pest, HVAC, electrical and security issues — followed by a detailed photo report sent the same day.
How often should I have my home watched?
Most insurance carriers and our experience recommend at least every 7 days during storm season and every 14 days otherwise. We'll recommend a schedule based on your home.
Will you let in cleaners, contractors and deliveries?
Yes. Concierge access is included with most plans — we'll meet vendors, accept deliveries and re-secure the home when they leave.
How fast do you respond to a problem?
If we find something urgent during a visit, you'll know within the hour. We can also dispatch trusted local plumbers, HVAC techs and remediation companies on your behalf.
Is Home Watch a substitute for an alarm system?
No — they complement each other. Alarms detect break-ins after the fact. Home Watch is your weekly set of eyes catching the leaks, mold, pests and storm damage that alarms simply don't see.
