What Is Home Watch Service?

Home Watch is a professional service designed to monitor and maintain your property while you're away. Our team conducts regular inspections, typically weekly at varying times, to thoroughly assess your home and address any potential issues promptly.

The primary goal of Home Watch is to prevent damage and ensure your home’s essential systems function properly. Simple tasks, such as collecting mail and removing flyers, help maintain the appearance of an occupied property, enhancing security. With Home Watch, you receive regular updates and a dedicated point of contact to coordinate access for service providers or contractors. This reliable service eliminates the need to manage home maintenance remotely or depend on neighbors, giving you peace of mind while you're away. 

What Are the Benefits of Home Watch?

For snowbirds, frequent travelers, or anyone away from home for extended periods, our Home Watch services offer invaluable peace of mind. Even with smart home technology like doorbell cameras and thermostats, nothing replaces the proactive care and oversight of a dedicated professional. Here’s how our Home Watch services benefit you:

Deter Intruders

An unoccupied home can attract intruders or squatters. Regular property checks, along with the removal of mail, flyers, and other signs of vacancy, help maintain the appearance of an active household, enhancing security.

Prepare for Hurricane Season

In Southeast Florida, hurricane season spans June 1 to November 30. Our Home Watch team implements your storm preparedness plan, securing your property before a storm and inspecting for damage afterward, so you can rest easy no matter where you are.

Why You Need Home Watch

Home Watch is essential for safeguarding your property investment. Unaddressed minor issues, like a small water leak, can escalate into significant problems such as extensive mold growth or water damage over time.

Even with trustworthy contractors, oversight is key. Our Home Watch service provides secure access for service providers and verifies that work is completed properly, ensuring your home remains safe and secure.

With Home Watch, you can relax knowing your property is monitored. Say goodbye to worries about broken windows, overgrown lawns, or malfunctioning HVAC systems. Enjoy peace of mind with our dedicated care.

Do Insurance Companies Offer Discounts for Using a Home Watch Service?

Yes! Many insurance companies offer premium discounts to homeowners who use a professional home watch service, especially for seasonal or unoccupied homes (like Florida’s “snowbird” residences).

These discounts typically range from 5% to 15%, depending on the insurer and policy terms. Why? Because regular inspections and documentation significantly reduce the risk of problems such as water damage, mold growth, pest infestations, or break-ins going unnoticed.

However, the availability of discounts can vary by insurance provider, location, and whether your home watch company is licensed and certified (for example, through the National Home Watch Association).

Why Insurance Companies Offer These Discounts

Risk Reduction:

Home watch professionals provide documented proof of regular property checks, helping prevent small issues from becoming costly claims. Some insurers even require this for unoccupied homes before issuing or renewing a policy.

Preventive Maintenance:

Services such as leak detection, security verification, and storm preparedness align with insurance companies’ priorities — lowering the likelihood of damage or claims. 

Policy Compliance:

In hurricane-prone regions like Southeast Florida, many policies now require some form of home monitoring. Having a certified home watch service not only helps you comply but can also help you avoid surcharges or qualify for discounts.

Examples of Insurers Offering Home Watch Discounts

  • State Farm, Allstate, Travelers: Often offer 5–10% discounts for verified home watch programs, particularly for second or vacation homes. Proof of regular inspections (such as weekly reports) may be required.

  • USAA: Known for bundling discounts that include home watch as a risk-reduction measure, sometimes saving homeowners up to 15%.

  • Citizens Property Insurance & Other Florida Carriers: Regional insurers frequently reward policyholders for using professional home watch services, especially during storm season.

How to Qualify for a Discount
