Default Home Watch Recommendations Needed

Hello, we are newbies to TV and have contacted several home watch services with no luck. They are either booked or do not respond to their email/phone provided.

Do you have a good recommendation for a trustworthy company or individual to check on our home in McClure while we are away during the month of August?

Thank you so much!

the villages has a neighborhood watch that will come round to check on your house daily. I think its very low $. Also, newspapers, mail put on hold while your gone. Have timers on inside lights that will go on an off. Let your close neighbors know, when you are going and coming back. Give them 'key" to get in In an emergency. Make sure lawn maintained. Give a contact number to The Neighborhood Watch.

It's actually called Community Watch, and they have a home watch service for $5.35 per week. But, they only check the outside of your house. They do not go inside. I think an outside camera would accomplish the same thing.

OP - i have a great home watch company (and reasonable). It’s a husband/wife and wife’s mom. They do house cleaning and home watch.
I got a text the day Elsa passed through that they walked through the house and got a status on the yard.
Message me for details

I like Empty Nest, the Villages Property Management. They open my home before I come. When furniture arrived they stayed while it was put in place and sent me photos of how it looked. Same with installation of appliances and I could not be there. They check the irrigation and sinks etc They will call my lawn services etc if anything needs to be looked after. It’s as if I was there myself. I had a problem with an installer and since Empty Nest was the contact while I was not there, they sorted it out for me. They are not inexpensive, about $100 a month for me, but you get what you pay for.

The best thing is to get one or two security cameras inside and outside, that way you know your lawn is being cut and your inside is not being ravaged by a squirrel

My neighbor has a home watch service that he provides. LB Melton. 352-445-7486. Sorry I cannot remember his business name but his wife is Frida and she is also a realtor.
I exchanged emails with another guy who I do not know but he is a retired cop and does this service. His email is fiveohhomewatch@gmail.com

Good luck,

Lonny
