A Home Watch service is designed to give you peace of mind while you are away from your home. Your home is inspected by professionals looking for any potential problems. The Handler will design a checklist based on your individual needs and concerns. If a situation does arise, you will be notified so the problem can be dealt with in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

We have weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly inspection plans… all depends on what you need. Some owners want the peace of mind having their property checked inside and out on a weekly basis. Others feel monthly will suffice. We recommend weekly exterior checks with a monthly interior inspection.

We can do seasonal or annual contracts, whichever best suits the homeowner. We also do one time inspections (with a detailed report).

Storms at the Delaware shore can form unexpectedly, and quickly — so preparations must be timely.

While not all storm damage can be avoided in a serious weather event, there are many steps that can be taken to prevent or minimize damage. As home watch professionals, an important part of our job is to identify any potential risks and to protect your home from major damage in the event of a serious storm. We can help prepare your home to weather an oncoming storm, as well as provide first-hand inspection afterwards to ascertain whether damage has occured, make needed repairs, and do general storm cleanup.

Think of Concierge Services as your own personal assistant. Believe it or not, personal assistants aren’t just for the rich and famous anymore. Today, personal assistant and concierge services are common and priced so nearly anyone can afford them. You can use them on a regular, as-needed, or on-time basis, and it makes your life so much easier in so many ways, especially with respect to your vacation home.

The Handler Concierge can do things such as:

• Managing and maintaining your home, such as waiting for deliveries or service providers to come to your home, or finding excellent repair people for you
• Planning dinners or parties
• Arranging for a personal chef to cook for you
• Shopping for groceries
• Scheduling appointments and dinner reservations
• Taking care of travel arrangements for you
• Stocking your fridge with necessities and preferred beverages prior to your arrival
• Starting and idling your local vehicle
• Mailing & picking up packages for you at the post office
• Plant and pet care

Not as a rule; however, having a visible presence in your empty home on a regular basis may act as a crime deterrent. Most Home Watch companies answer alarm calls and are familiar to local law enforcement.
