Market Homewatch Services for Vacant and Seasonal Properties
Peace of Mind While You're Away
We check on your vacant or seasonal property regularly, inspecting for leaks, damage, security issues, and anything else that needs attention. After every visit, you receive a written report with photos so you always know the condition of your home.
Schedule a Homewatch ConsultationOverview
Leaving your Market home for the summer, the winter, or any extended period shouldn't mean wondering whether everything's still okay. A storm rolls through, a pipe leaks, the AC fails, a window gets breached and you're hundreds or thousands of miles away with no way to know. We solve that. Through scheduled in-person visits, we keep eyes on your property while you're away, catch problems before they become disasters, and give you the documented peace of mind that comes from knowing someone trustworthy is watching your home.
Market homewatch is a professional property inspection service for vacant, seasonal, or second homes. It includes scheduled in-person property visits, interior and exterior inspections, monitoring for water damage, HVAC issues, security concerns, pest activity, and weather-related damage, and documented written reports with photos after every visit. The goal is early detection of problems and ongoing visible presence at the property protecting both the home and the owner's peace of mind during periods of vacancy.
What sets homewatch apart from a friend or neighbor checking in is professionalism, consistency, and accountability. Visits happen on a defined schedule. Inspections follow a structured checklist. Reports are documented and timestamped. When something needs attention, owners hear about it immediately with clear recommendations on next steps.

What We Check on Every Visit
Each homewatch visit follows a structured inspection checklist designed to catch the issues most likely to cause damage when no one's home. A typical visit includes:
- Visual inspection of the home's exterior, looking for storm damage, vandalism, or maintenance issues
- Interior walkthrough checking for leaks, water damage, ceiling stains, and humidity issues
- HVAC system operation confirming the system is running, temperatures are appropriate, no warning indicators
- Plumbing check including visible pipes, water heaters, toilets, and any signs of leaks
- Doors, windows, and entry points inspected for security issues or signs of attempted entry
- Refrigerator and freezer operation where applicable
- Pest activity inspection — droppings, nests, evidence of rodents, termites, or other infestations
- Mold and humidity checks in areas prone to issues (bathrooms, basements, closets)
- Weather damage assessment after major storms, hurricanes, or freezes
- Pool and spa equipment check where applicable
- Mail and package collection where requested
- Yard and exterior maintenance status review
Specific checklist items can be customized based on your property type, location, and concerns. A waterfront home has different priorities than a condo. A property with a pool has different checks than one without.
Who Homewatch Is For
Homewatch isn't for every property. It's specifically built for owners whose homes sit vacant for weeks or months at a time and who need professional oversight during those periods. The Market homeowners we work with typically include:
- Seasonal residents and snowbirds who split time between Market and another home
- Second-home owners with vacation properties used a few weeks a year
- Out-of-state owners with Market investment properties between tenants
- Owners marketing homes for sale who can't be on-site to monitor the property
- Estate executors managing vacant properties during probate or sale processes
- Frequent travelers whose primary home sits empty for extended periods
- Owners renovating remotely who need eyes on the project between visits
If your home sits empty for stretches at a time and you'd rest easier knowing someone's checking on it, we should talk.
Detailed Reporting After Every Visit
After every homewatch visit, you receive a written report documenting the condition of your property. Reports include:
- Date, time, and duration of the visit
- Photos of the property exterior and any areas of concern
- Inspection checklist with notes on each item
- Any issues identified with recommended next steps
- Confirmation of HVAC operation, security status, and overall property condition
- Notes on mail, packages, or deliveries received where applicable
Reports are sent by email shortly after each visit. Critical issues such as leaks, security concerns, storm damage are flagged immediately with a phone call or text, not just an email. You'll always know what's happening at your home, without having to wonder or follow up.
What Homewatch Is and Isn't
It's worth being clear about what homewatch services include and what they don't. Homewatch is professional property oversight, but it's not a replacement for property management, security monitoring, or maintenance services.
Homewatch is:
Scheduled in-person property visits, visual inspections, condition reporting, early problem detection, and coordination with you when issues are found.
Homewatch is not:
Active 24/7 security monitoring, alarm response, full-service maintenance, repair services, cleaning services, or rental property management.
What This Means for You
When homewatch identifies an issue, we report it and recommend next steps. If you want us to coordinate a repair, schedule a contractor, or arrange other services, we can, typically as add-on coordination services. Major maintenance, repairs, and active rental management require their own separate engagements.
- Documented peace of mind while you're away from your Market home
- Early detection of leaks, damage, and other issues before they escalate
- Insurance compliance for policies requiring vacant property inspections
- Professional, consistent oversight that a friend or neighbor can't provide
- Photographic record of your property's condition over time
- Immediate notification when something needs attention
- Coordination support if you need a repair or service arranged
Common Questions From Market Homewatch Clients
-
A property manager operates a tenanted rental property by handling leases, rent collection, tenants, and maintenance. Homewatch is professional inspection of vacant properties — no tenants, no leases, no rent. The two services solve different problems for different situations.
-
You can, but neighbors aren't professional, aren't insured for the responsibility, aren't always available, and don't follow a structured inspection process. They also can't help you with insurance requirements that specifically call for professional inspections. Many homeowners use a combination — a neighbor for casual eyes plus professional homewatch for documented oversight.
-
Some vacant home insurance policies require regular professional inspections to maintain coverage. We've worked with Market homeowners across many different insurance carriers and can help you understand and meet your policy's requirements.
-
Homewatch pricing varies based on visit frequency, property size, and any custom checklist items. Most Market homewatch is priced on a per-visit basis with monthly subscription options for ongoing service.
-
You're notified immediately by phone or text for urgent issues, by email for less critical findings. We recommend next steps and can coordinate repairs through our vendor network as an add-on service, with your approval before any work begins.
-
Yes. We maintain secure key custody for properties we monitor, with documented protocols for access. Alarm codes, gate codes, and other access information are managed securely.
-
Yes. Mail and package collection can be included in regular visits where requested. Many Market seasonal residents use this to keep their property looking occupied and prevent mail accumulation.
-
We coordinate pre-storm property prep where requested (securing outdoor items, additional inspections) and provide post-storm damage assessment with photos. Storm response is one of the most valuable functions of Market homewatch given the region's weather patterns.
-
Yes. Many of our Market homewatch clients eventually decide to rent their property for long-term, mid-term, or short-term. We can transition the engagement to full property management when that time comes.
