Frequently Asked Questions
Serving Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire and Western Maine
What is Home Watch?
The National Home Watch Association defines Home Watch as “The visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues.”
Are you a house sitter service?
What type of reporting can I expect from you?
Luxury Mountain Home Watch will send you a detailed report by email with pictures of any problems identified upon completion of inspecting the interior and exterior of your home.
We have a neighborhood watch program. Doesn’t that do the same thing?
Most neighborhood watch programs are passive by nature and do not provide the level of engagement with your property that Luxury Mountain Home Watch provides. We will check your property’s interior and exterior in far more detail than you can expect from a neighborhood watch program.
If you find a problem what type of notification will I receive?
Luxury Mountain Home Watch will send you a report via text or email upon completion of our visit to your home with any problems identified, accompanied by pictures and details of the problem. If we take any immediate action to prevent further damage (for example, a bad water leak), we will contact you immediately to discuss what occurred and consider what course of action is needed for the repair.
Are you a property inspector?
While we check your property, we are NOT a property inspector. Property inspectors are usually engaged during the sale of a property to do a detailed inspection of the structure, plumbing, electrical and heating, and air condition systems. Luxury Mountain Home Watch provides a visual inspection of your vacant home or property looking for obvious issues.
What is Luxury Mountain Home Watch?
Luxury Mountain Home Watch is a professional insured, bonded, and accredited Home Watch Service serving Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire and Western Maine. We check your property and identify problems or potential problems that can occur while your property is unoccupied. We provide a physical presence that is not possible through a remote alarm monitoring service.
My alarm company provides security for my home. What value do you add?
An alarm company monitors entry into your home or a fire alarm but they do not monitor potential problems that can occur due to broken pipes, mold, pests or squatters. We identify those problems or the possibility of their occurrence and notify you for guidance.
What are your credentials?
Luxury Mountain Home Watch proudly displays the Accredited banner of the National Home Watch Association and we are the ONLY accredited home watch services business serving the local area. We have been vetted and approved by this organization to insure we are bonded and insured for your protection. We also subscribe to the NHWA’s Code of Ethics.
Do you provide keyholder services?
Absolutely! We can coordinate access to your property for any situation. All we need is your notification of date and time and any instructions you have regarding the visit.
Are your services expensive?
We think our services are reasonably priced for the value we provide. When you compare the possible damage due to a leak or damage by pests or vagrants with the cost, our services are an excellent value. We will be happy to discuss our pricing for home watch services and any additional services you may require at a free consultation.
Can you help me with home maintenance services?
While we do not provide home maintenance services, we can refer you to quality contractors or vendors and coordinate access to your property.
