“WORRY FREE OWNERSHIP FOR SEASONAL HOMEOWNERS”
So why did we start this service?
Home Watch of Arizona was created by the founders because they understood what it was like to be in the shoes of seasonal and absentee homeowners. Inspired by the caretaker who watched their second property in Canada for over 15 years, the founders wanted to offer that same personal touch to their existing real estate customers in Arizona. Noticing that the need existed to more than just their real estate clients, they decided to expand their service to the Scottsdale and surrounding areas.
Home Watch of Arizona was founded to bring a licensed, insured, trustworthy and nationally accredited property watch service and to bring a sense of comfort to clients with unoccupied properties.
While asking a friend or neighbor to check on your home may seem easier, it often provides you with inconsistent, unverified service. Home Watch of Arizona is the professional solution. We don’t rely on favors; instead, we offer scheduled visits, detailed reporting, and the dedicated oversight of full-time, experienced professionals.
