Home checkers
Just bought a home in TV. We do not plan on moving in for 6-12 months. How do people have there houses checked periodically?
Thanks RCJ |

Community Watch
We use Community Watch. They do a daily visit: check doors, windows and do an exterior walk around. Price is right too

It’s called Home Watch.
I have cameras all over the place, and a great relationship with neighbors, who keep an eye on the house. Still have someone come in, walk through the house, make sure grass and weeds are getting services, etc. Also, if a hurricane is coming through, they will check the house after storm passes. |

If the house is new and labeled as "Smart Home Ready" contact Centric Fiber. When I was signing the contract in DocuSign, there was a flyer for them. I called today and found out that our new home in Newell is apparently already wired for them with everything in place. We just have to close and they turn on the service. Wifi and equipment is included. Plus, they have a special and the first two months are no charge.
We plan on starting with them (we close on March 1st) Ron |

For those who are new, as recently as 4 years ago, there was no such offering as "Smart Home Ready", and houses were all being wired for telephone jacks. . . |

I have never hired anyone. We have a friend that has a key and neighbors on each side have our email. In 4 years, no issues.

First of all we shut off the water when we’re away. We have a nest doorbell and nest cameras in the front yard side yard and backyard. We have a nest camera in our large living room and kitchen area. We also have a nest thermostat so we can easily check the humidity in the house and, if necessary, turn on the air which we keep at 80. We also have the Rachio internet sprinkler controller so we can also control the sprinklers when we are away. The neighbor across the street has a key if we need them to check the place. There are still a couple things which could still be a concern - a roof leak or a sprinkler head popping out and spouting a huge stream of water.

I have a WiFi garage door opener on both the houses I own, and when I was a sunbird(come down in July, up north in January), I had a maintenance company pick up the cart from the garage. I opened the door, watched him get it and drive away. I then closed the door. Easy peasy. |
