Home Watch is a visual observation of a home or property

looking for obvious issues.

You’ve heard about Home Watch, but why in the world do people need it?

Imagine...

  • …if your neighbor forgets to check the home during your absence, and there is a leak.
  • …if your air conditioning system stops to work in the middle of summer.
  • …if the residence above you has a flood.
  • …if the pool guy leaves the hose running and your pool overflows.
  • …if you forgot to turn the water off and the toilet leaks.
  • …if creatures find their way into your home and make it their own.
  • …if you left food in your fridge and there is a power outage.
The Ultimate Home Watch Interview Guide

An unoccupied home is a vulnerable home. Things can, will, and do happen. It’s not a matter of IF—it’s a matter of WHEN.

Home Watch is a vital service for all seasonal residents. However, the market is currently served by “Neighbors Doing Favors”, well-meaning individuals, “Hobby Home Watchers” and some people who are just taking advantage of residents who are not here.

There is a gap in the market for trained, background-checked, and fully credentialed Home Watch Professionals.

This is the place for homeowners to learn about Home Watch services and how to hire a Home Watch provider.

This is where entrepreneurs can learn about starting their own Home Watch business and the training that is available.


Home Watch is a Cool Career!

The days of the Neighbors Doing Favors and the Hobby Home Watcher are things of the past.  Seasonal homeowners have learned the value of hiring a professionally trained and credentialed Home Watch Professional.

  • I found Diane to be truly passionate about the Home Watch industry and her comprehensive training is amazing!  I completed the training feeling very comfortable with home watch best practices and was excited to start growing my business.  Diane has been available for follow-up anytime I ask, which is truly appreciated and has already connected me with other Home Watch owners for the purpose of discussing strategy.  Diane is a true leader in the industry and I would go as far as suggesting all Home Watch professionals should be required to attend her course.

  • I have taken more than a dozen different courses in my life, most of them through very well known universities. None of them ever gave me so much information in all aspects of the trade. Diane is an amazing teacher that will show you how to be an entrepreneur and do good! I don't think I can thank her enough for not only what she thought me but also for being there in every issue I have had, once someone takes this class there's never an ending to the education. Simply amazing!
