Use the search button for Home Watch and you'll find all kinds of recommendations. We use Jeff Halstead. Excellent. We found him through TOTV, just like we found tons of good info!

Ask a neighbor - it's free.

We like Mary Edwards and her husband. They send an e-mail every week when they inspect. 352-603-5333.

The problem with asking a neighbor is that if something goes wrong, the neighbor will be held responsible by the homeowner's insurance company.

From experience be careful who has access to your house. I use the services of a gal for years. Her name is Kerri, lives at TV full time and is dependable and honest as the day is long. Her number: 352 445 1857.

I agree to being careful. We have used a very competent lady who is also a villages resident. She was recommended to us and we were absolutely satisfied.
insured and bonded.

One more note: A neighbor of ours used another service. They may have done a great job, but when they visited they parked in the driveway with a BIG sign on both sides of their vehicle that indicated they were an 'empty nest house watch service'. Not very incognito!

Dee doesn't do that.

BK Cunningham. best price, amazingly talented husband wife team with experience in real estate management and background not in FL contracting. 352-272-9924.

many of us in Fernandina use Charlene of The Village Sitter. She has many clients in the villages. Her husband Steve is one of the security people in the Villages. They are great. Go above and beyond. I consider Charlene a good friend.
her number is 352-633-5063. She will also take care of and sit for pets. She is a life saver.

Wawa92 06-24-2013 07:40 PM

I would highly recommend Mary & Ed Edwards.

Redwitch isn't this your thing? Are you not doing it anymore or are you booked up?

Lark7 06-25-2013 04:56 AM

Another vote of confidence for Mary and Ed Edwards - they are experienced, trustworthy, and communicate with their clients each week.

I still watch homes but since I don't advertise here (tried it once and it didn't help; thinking of giving it another chance), I do my best to not mention my business on TOTV. Don't think that's fair to anyone. I will recommend contractors that I've seen do good work who don't cheat people and give some advice when I can but that's it.

I just remembered everyone raving about you and had you in my go too list I keep of recommendations from TOTV people. I figured you might have all the clients you could handle given the reviews of your work in the past.

We also use The Village Sitter. Charlene does a great job for us. We feel much better living in CA and knowing that Charlene is looking after our home. Call her -- you won't be sorry.
