Who Do You Trust With Your House Sitting?

House Sitting

Reading Time: 3 minutes

In essence, your home is your pride and joy and your biggest investment to date. Should anything go wrong while a friend, neighbor, or unqualified house sitter is watching your home you will have no course of reprieve, and you’ll only have yourself to blame. While using neighbors or friends may seem like a cost-effective thing to do, at the end of the day you have no control over what goes on in your property.

Why Shouldn’t You Use Just Anyone to House Sit?

Although you may trust your friend and neighbor implicitly, there is a reason why seasonal home management is a profession and not a favor-based agreement. For example, inexperienced house sitters may contact unlicensed contractors and technicians to resolve simple household issues without realizing the consequences. This could leave you with more trouble should said unlicensed contractors provide inferior services or parts, or neglect to pull permits. Another thing to consider is the value of your relationship with the person you ask to help you out – is it worth jeopardizing a good relationship with a friend over a mistake the make with your home? Leave the tension out of the mix by hiring a professional who is accountable for their actions.

The Benefits of a Seasonal Home Management Company

The problem with house sitters is that you can’t control what they do within your home, be it wild parties or other illegal activities. You have no control when you are not on the premises. In order to combat this and ensure that their properties are kept safe, many homeowners are now turning to home management companies such as Nest Home Management.

  • We’re Fully Insured

    Something that sets a professional home management company apart from non-professionals is insurance. Most non-professional house sitters won’t be covered if they are negligent with your home.

  • We Have the Professional Home Management Experience

    With more than 10 years’ experience in the home management industry, we’ve got you covered. We understand exactly what it is your home needs and will ensure that we meet your every expectation. Using our years of experience in the home management industry, we understand more than the basics of home care and are trained to identify real issues vs minor inconveniences. This means that we won’t call out contractors for minor problems that are easily resolved in house.

  • We Have an Extensive Network of Contractors

    When problems are bigger than an in-house solution, we have the necessary resources and network to ensure that a contractor is at your house within 20 minutes to resolve any home maintenance issues you may be having.

  • We Have Disaster Mitigation Experience

    Florida is known for its hurricane season and natural disasters can cause extensive damage to homes. During these times we’re on hand to assist in disaster prep. This includes ensuring your home and valuables are locked up and that your home is as hurricane proof as it can be. We’ll also check in on the property after the hurricane has passed and utilize our contractors to ensure your home is once again in tip top shape.

  • Weekly Checks

    Your home will be checked each week to ensure that everything is in order. We’ll ensure that everything from the thermostat settings to the water heater and AC units are working as they should.

Bear in mind that if your home is unoccupied for more than 30 days, your homeowners insurance policy provider can deny any claims that you may make. So, if anything has to go wrong on the property in your absence, you may not be covered at all. However, when you employ the services of a home management company, your home will not be deemed unoccupied.

So, when it comes down to it, finding the right person to look after your home is as simple as calling Nest Home Management. Put your mind at ease knowing that our friendly, reliable and experienced services will be taking care of your home.
