What is Home Watch?
Home Watch is known by many names: house watch, house check, home concierge, caretaker, absentee home service, vacation property monitoring and so on. Regardless of the label used, Home Watch is defined as a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.
Neighbors Property Services is insured, bonded and accredited by the National Home Watch Association.
