Somebody should be watching the house.
Especially when you can't.
Home Watch+ is scheduled, documented property oversight for second homes, seasonal properties, and full-time residences across Old Mission Peninsula and the greater Grand Traverse region.
A house left alone still has a life of its own.
Pipes don't freeze on a schedule. Storms don't call ahead. A small leak, left long enough, becomes a very different phone call. Most of what damages a property while the owner is away isn't dramatic, it's just unwatched.
THE REALITY
Winters are long here
01
A slow drip, a failing sump pump, a loose flashing after a windstorm. Caught on a visit, it's a quick fix. Caught three months later, it's a project.
Old Mission Peninsula sits between two bays. That's part of the beauty of it, and part of why an empty house needs eyes on it through the cold months, not just a call if something breaks.
Small problems don't stay small
02
A neighbor doing a favor, or a quick drive-by, isn't the same as a scheduled, documented visit with a report you can actually read.
"Someone's checking on it" isn't a plan
03
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Every home gets a visit cadence set for its own risks and its own season. Here's what's inside every Home Watch+ plan.
Scheduled Home Watch Visits
Storm & Weather Response
Systems Check
Documented Reporting
Small Repairs, Handled
Licensed Work, Coordinated
Interior and exterior walkthroughs on a cadence built for your home, weekly, biweekly, or seasonal.
Extra visits after high wind, heavy snow, or a major weather event, before you even have to ask.
HVAC, water lines, sump pumps, electrical, and structural signs of trouble, checked every visit.
Timestamped photos from every visit, tied to the room and the issue, so you see exactly what we saw.
In-scope handyman fixes done on the spot, so the small stuff doesn't wait for a bigger bill.
When a job calls for a licensed vendor, we manage it start to finish, as your owner's representative.
Built around your property, not a package.
HOW IT WORKS
01
Walkthrough & Plan
We tour the property together and build a visit cadence around its actual risks, not a generic package.
02
A Report You Can Trust
We come to the house on the plan we set, and more often when the weather calls for it.
03
Scheduled Visits
Every visit ends in a report with timestamped photos, so you know the house was seen and know what was seen.
04
Small Fixes, On the Spot
05
Bigger Work, Coordinated
We bring in and manage licensed vendors, so you are never chasing a contractor from three states away.
Five steps, and you're never chasing an update.
Within the scope allowed under Michigan's handyman threshold, we fix what we can fix right there, on that visit.
BUILT ON TRUST
Home Watch+ was built for owners who need more than a quick look through the windows.
"Honesty and integrity aren't policies here, they're just how we work. If something's wrong, you'll hear it from us first."
We've earned the trust of Institutions, Trusts, and Owners responsible for high-value properties, and we hold every home on our list to that same standard, documented visits, clear accountability, and no surprises.
COVERAGE
Insured & documented, every visit
STANDARD
Institutional-grade discretion
ACCESS
A direct line to your caretaker, not a call center
LOCAL, BY DESIGN
We're not a national franchise dropping in for a checklist visit. We live here, between the two bays, through every one of these seasons ourselves.
That's what lets us tell the difference between a Peninsula house settling into winter the way it always does, and a Peninsula house that needs a call made today.
