Look for the Your Home Watch Professionals’ Affiliate Logo

You have decided to hire a Home Watch company to oversee your home while you’re away. How do you know how to hire the right one? If you don’t hire the right person or company to watch over your home while you’re away, it could result in disaster. So how do you make sure you’re hiring the right person for the job? We recommend that you look for the Your Home Watch Professionals’ affiliate logo. 

What could happen if you don’t hire the right Home Watch professional?

Neighbors may not show up regularly or know what to look for. An untrained provider may not know how to recognize irregularities. Some may take your money and not make visits, they may let friends use the home and some scoundrels have even rented an unsuspecting client’s home for cash!

The Home Watch industry is not yet regulated. There is no license requirement or any other prerequisite. Keys are given to a neighbor doing favors, well-meaning individuals who think Home Watch is an easy business, and some down-right dishonest people. Many do not have insurance or a registered business.

“It is not a matter of IF there will be potential damage, it is a matter of WHEN.”

It’s important to make sure you hire a professional Home Watch company to ensure the safety of your home while you’re away. We recommend a YHWP affiliate!
What is a Your Home Watch Professional affiliate?

A Your Home Watch Professional affiliate is a Home Watch company who has taken our in-house Home Watch training program, is committed to ongoing training, and has met our highest standard checklist.

We are dedicated to establishing best practices in the field of Home Watch. Our mission is to train Home Watch professionals and to educate the seasonal homeowners of Lee County and Collier County, and those who work with part-time Lee/Collier County residents as to the importance of Home Watch service and how to hire a professional Home Watch provider.

The YHWP Training Program

During the Your Home Watch Professionals training program, we teach our affiliates to look at homes differently, to think like a Home Watch professional. We teach them to recognize irregularities and early signs of damage and to know how to respond when something does happen.

The most dedicated business owners become affiliates of Your Home Watch Professionals. They are Home Watch businesses that we have identified as fully committed to the seasonal resident and who have the experience and resources to handle any situation. Our affiliates have completed extensive training and are committed to continuing education. They’ve met our highest standards so that we can help ensure your peace of mind.
