Home Watch is defined as a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues. It's a single point of contact for everything which means there's no need to juggle multiple vendors or make long distance trips to oversee a service. By using a professional to manage a home, it also means the homeowner never has to worry whether a vendor is reputable.
Routine visits to a property can help prevent costly repairs, deter break-ins, and minimize the risk of various damage to the home. Home Watch closely resembles traditional property management but without handling rentals or providing leases.
Clients enjoy peace of mind as their online Birchwater Home dashboard provides regular reporting, two way communication, home photos, and a portal for any invoicing.
Home Watch visual inspections can be critical to protecting the value of the property and consistency of experience in your home. That's why Birchwater Home LLC clients delegate these details and maximize their time.
See below for a sample routine inspection list and for more information on the benefits of Home Watch.
