Florida is hard on an empty house. Humidity finds the drywall, a failed A/C becomes mold in a week, and a slow supply line becomes a ceiling. Small problems only stay small when someone sees them early.
So we walk the property on a set schedule and check the things that actually fail. You get a report with photographs the same day — not a text saying everything looks fine.
Every visit and repair is logged in your EstateEase portal the same day.
Owners call this different things — house watch, homewatch, a house watching service, or simply having someone check on the house. It is all the same work: a scheduled walk of an unoccupied residence with a written photo record. If you are still weighing providers, read how to choose a home watch company and what home watch costs in Palm Beach County. For a residence empty year round, see vacant home management. If you use the house part of the year and want the maintenance calendar, arrivals, and storm season held as well, that is second home management in Palm Beach County. For one named person accountable for the house, its vendors, and the record, see our estate caretaker services.
We watch seasonal homes across the coast: home watch on Singer Island, home watch in Juno Beach, Jupiter Island, Delray Beach, Hobe Sound, and Palm Beach Gardens. Owners who want the whole household run add estate management in Palm Beach. For the coordination and follow-through between visits, add household management.

Who it's for
Snowbird home services for owners who are somewhere else.
Snowbirds heading north in April. Equestrian families whose Wellington house empties after season. Condominium owners on Singer Island and in Juno Beach. Anyone whose house sits quiet for months.
“We are north for seven months and never think about the house. The reports arrive, the photographs are clear, and the one time something was wrong they called before I finished my coffee.”
Free guide
The standard a visit should meet.
The Estate Management Standard sets out how we care for an unoccupied residence: water and supply lines, interior humidity, power and the generator, the envelope and shutters, and the documentation your insurer will ask for at claim time.
Free, no sequence, and useful whether or not you ever hire us.
Questions
Home watch, answered.
- How often do you visit?
- Most owners choose weekly or twice-monthly visits. Coastal homes and older properties usually warrant weekly, especially in summer.
- What happens if you find a problem?
- You hear from an owner the same hour. We photograph it, explain it plainly, and — with your approval — bring in the right trade and stay until it is resolved.
- Do you handle storm preparation?
- Yes. Our hurricane preparation service covers shutters and panels installed ahead of the storm, outdoor furniture secured, and a documented inspection as soon as it is safe to return.
- Is this the same as a house watch or house sitting service?
- House watch, homewatch, and house watching service all describe the same thing we provide: a scheduled, documented inspection of a home nobody is living in. House sitting is different — a sitter stays in the residence to provide occupancy. Nobody stays in your home, and every visit produces a timestamped photo report.
- What does home watch cost?
- It is priced as a monthly retainer set by inspection cadence, how long a full walk of the property takes, waterfront exposure, and whether the home is furnished. We quote after walking the house rather than from a square-footage table — the full breakdown is on our home watch cost page.
