Are you insured?
Welcome Home Watch Concierge is insured, bonded, and accredited and participates in the National Home Watch Association Code of Ethics.
How often do I need a home watch service?
My alarm company provides security for my home. What value do you add?
We have a neighborhood watch program. Doesn’t that do the same thing?
Do you provide keyholder services?
What is Welcome Home Watch Concierge?
We are a professional insured, bonded, and accredited Home Watch Service serving the Michiana area consisting of South West Michigan and Northern Indiana in the counties of Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren in Michigan and the counties of St Joseph and Laporte in Indiana. We check your property and identify problems or potential problems that can occur while your property is vacant. We provide a physical presence that is not available through a remote alarm monitoring service. We can help with most requests you have by contacting us
What type of reporting can I expect from you?
We will send you a detailed report by email with pictures of any problems identified upon completion of inspecting the interior and exterior of your home. You can find a video detailing the benefits & features of our HomeWatchIT reporting section of our Services page.
Are your services expensive?
If you find a problem how will I be notified?
Welcome Home Watch Concierge will send you a report after the completion of a home visit accompanied by photos and details documenting any issues discovered. If we find major issues we will call you
Are you a house sitter service?
We are not house sitters. Our core service includes periodic visits to your home where we follow a specific and mutually agreed upon checklist. We are in your home for about an hour per visit and take great pride in making sure your home is as you left it for your return. House sitters are not looking to be caretakers. They are looking for a place to stay and get paid in a nice area with 24/7 access to everything in your home.
What are your credentials?
Welcome Home Watch Concierge displays the Accredited banner of the National Home Watch Association. We have been vetted and approved by this organization to ensure we are bonded and insured for your protection. We subscribe to the NHWA’s Code of Ethics.
Are you a property inspector?
While we check your property, we are NOT a property inspector. Property inspectors are usually involved in the sale of a property to do a detailed inspection of the structure, plumbing, electrical, heating, and air condition systems. Welcome Home Watch Concierge provides a visual inspection of your vacant home or property looking for obvious issues.
