We have friends that are snowbirds, here only from November thru May. They asked us to drive by once a week just to check on the house. They have a lawn service, pool maintenance year round and a home watch service while they are gone. I walked through there yard yesterday taking pictures of all the weeds, the long grass and the dirty pool, sent the pictures to them via my iphone. My point was to let them know the poor service they are getting from these companies, so they could make the phone calls to these companies to get better service. I'm sure it it keeps up someone is going to complain, so they have a heads up now and can fire or complain to there service people.
Some of these companies take advantage of the snowbirds and let things go if no one is there to complain to them. They thanked us for letting them know what was going on and did call the companies.
