Home Watch
Vacant homes need monitoring to ensure nothing has gone awry. Our homewatch and home management services are what you're looking for to give you peace of mind and take care of everything while you're away. Our unoccupied residence and property inspection services are vital for second home owners and rental property owners that are away from their properties for extended periods of time. Coast Home Watch provides protection and assurance for your property through regular onsite inspections.

Professional Organizer and Pre/Post Moving Services
Second homes often serve as a retreat from the everyday hustle, and so they don't always get the attention they deserve, which is why we offer professional organizing and moving services to our second homeowner clients. With time there being more limited and often focused on hosting guests or engaging in activities, keeping the space organized can be a challenge. Our sister company, Smart Space, offers comprehensive organizing services to ensure your second home remains a peaceful and orderly retreat, allowing you to fully enjoy your time there.
Whether while you're there or while you’re away we can help:
-
Decluttering
-
Organizing
-
Pre/Post moving services: packing/unpacking​
​

Keyholder Services
As needed, we can meet service vendors/contractors, accept large deliveries, alarm response, help locked out guests, check in on family members, and much more. Leaving a key with a neighbor isn't ideal as they may not be available when needed, or if you just aren't comfortable giving your neighbors that responsibility, and providing them open access to your home and possessions. Any situations requiring the use of your key will be handled in a secure and professional manner. Having CHW hold your key will allow you to manage these situations from afar.
​
Contractor/Vendor Coordination & Supervision
We'll meet and monitor service providers or repairmen at your home, or your senior parent's home. After 30 years of facility management I can work with any contractor or service provider and ensure the job is getting done correctly.
​
Long distance home build or remodel? We offer an affordable solution to give you piece of mind, being your eyes on the ground, monitoring while you can’t.

Provide access to property for contractors or service providers (repairmen, delivery, cleaning services, or other onsite service providers)
