YOUR HOME, PROTECTED WHILE YOU'RE AWAY
Rae's Home Watch delivers discreet, thorough property monitoring so high-value homes remain secure, maintained, and ready for your return — without the stress of managing it remotely.
WHAT IS HOME WATCH?
MORE THAN A CHECKUP — A COMPLETE PROPERTY STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM
Home watch is the regular, professional inspection of a vacant or unoccupied property by a trained specialist. Unlike a neighbor checking in, Rae's Home Watch is a structured, documented service that covers every system and surface of your home — catching problems before they become costly disasters.
ROUTINE PROPERTY CHECKS — Scheduled walkthroughs of every room, exterior, and mechanical system on a frequency you choose.
ISSUE DETECTION & REPORTING — Photographic documentation and written reports delivered after every visit so you're always informed.
VENDOR COORDINATION — When issues arise, Rae's manages trusted local contractors on your behalf — so you never have to scramble from afar.
FYI — Many homeowners insurance policies include provisions regarding homes that remain unoccupied for an extended period. Depending on your insurance carrier and policy, coverage may be affected if a home is left vacant or unattended for 30 to 60 consecutive days.
