HOME WATCH
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PROTECTING YOUR HOME. PROVIDING PEACE OF MIND.
What is a home watch and why do I need it?
Home watch is a professional service where a certified, insured provider regularly visits and inspects your property while you're away. Unlike a neighbor checking in occasionally, a professional home watch provider documents every visit with photos and written reports, catches issues early before they become costly, and coordinates any necessary repairs on your behalf. For seasonal homeowners in Naples and Marco Island, where heat, humidity, and hurricane season create year-round risks, professional home watch isn't a luxury — it's protection for one of your most significant investments.
How often will you visit my property?
Visit frequency is entirely customized to your needs and preferences. Most of our clients choose weekly or bi-weekly visits during the off-season. During active hurricane watches or following a storm, we increase visits automatically to assess and document any impact to your property.
What does a typical visit include?
Every visit includes a thorough interior and exterior walkthrough covering HVAC systems, plumbing, appliances, windows, doors, lanais, and pool areas where applicable. We check for signs of water intrusion, pest activity, mold, and storm damage. Following every visit you receive a written inspection report with timestamped photos so you always have a clear, documented record of your home's condition.
How do I receive my inspection reports?
After every visit you receive a detailed written report with timestamped photos delivered directly to your email. You'll never have to chase us for an update: clear, consistent communication is a cornerstone of everything we do.
What happens if you find an issue during a visit?
We contact you immediately with a full account of what we found, photos, and our recommended course of action. We maintain relationships with trusted local vendors and can coordinate access and oversight of any repairs on your behalf so you never have to fly down for a minor issue.

How is Gulfshore Estate Watch different from a property manager?
Property managers typically focus on rental properties and tenant relations. Gulfshore Estate Watch is exclusively dedicated to protecting vacant seasonal homes — it's all we do. As an owner-operated business, you speak directly with the person visiting your home every time. No call centers, no handoffs, no surprises.
