Home watch was built for people who are gone. But what about the home you live in? Your house still needs someone to meet the plumber, wait for the delivery, schedule the HVAC tech, prep for the storm, stock the fridge before your guests arrive, and reset everything after they leave. You are just the one doing all of it, on top of your actual life.
Think about a normal month. The landscaper needs to be scheduled. The housekeeper needs a key. The HVAC tech is coming Tuesday between 9 and 12, and someone has to be home. A package is arriving that needs a signature. The pool needs service. The gutters need cleaning before the leaves pile up. A storm is coming and the patio furniture needs to come in. Guests are arriving Friday and the fridge is empty.
None of that is hard. All of it takes time, and it takes time during the workday, when you are supposed to be doing something else.
One point person for the home you live in
That is our House Manager service. One point person for the home you actually live in. We schedule and meet the vendors, the inspectors, and the deliveries. We coordinate landscaping, housekeeping, HVAC, pest control, and pool care. We handle storm prep and post-storm recovery, grocery and fridge stocking, mail and packages, guest arrival prep, and departure resets. One person, all of it handled.
This is not home watch for an empty house. It is the same level of care, applied to the house you live in every day. The person who knows your vendors, your service calendar, your access instructions, and your preferences. The person you call when something needs handling, instead of rearranging your own day to handle it.
Most home watch companies sell only to absentee owners. We built a named, tiered service for people who live in the home, because our clients kept asking for it. They had the watch for the homes they were away from, and they wanted the same kind of help for the home they were in.
The tiers
Essential starts at $750 a month. That covers up to 6 hours, one in-home visit a month, a monthly summary update, and a point of contact for scheduling and coordination.
Preferred starts at $1,250 a month, and it is the best starting point for most owners. Up to 12 hours, two visits a month, vendor scheduling and supervision, service calendar management, and regular owner updates.
Signature starts at $2,250 a month. Up to 25 hours, four visits a month, repair and project oversight, guest-arrival prep coordination, and priority scheduling.
Estate and Executive start at $3,500 a month, custom to the home and the household. Larger homes, more complex needs, more hours, built around what you actually need.
The hours back in your week
Add it up. A vendor visit you did not have to wait around for. A delivery you did not have to rush home for. A storm prep you did not have to do yourself on a Wednesday night. A fridge that is stocked before your guests arrive, without you making the list and the trip.
That is what a House Manager buys. Not luxury for its own sake, although the service is a luxury. It buys your time back, and it buys the feeling that the house is handled, even when your life is full.
