Questions

What is documented property oversight?

The systematic, documented care of a residence by a firm with no financial interest in anything it recommends. We inspect to a published protocol, record every visit, and coordinate licensed professionals when they are needed.

Do you offer home inspection services?

No. Stockdale & Co offers property oversight only. Lee is a licensed Florida home inspector; his training brings in-depth knowledge of residential systems to our oversight method. His license is a professional credential, not a service we offer. An oversight visit is not a home inspection, and we issue no home inspection reports. When licensed work is needed, a licensed professional performs it.

My neighbor already keeps an eye on the house. Why would I need you?

Keep that arrangement; it is a kindness worth having. What a neighbor cannot give you is a dated, photographed interior record, made on schedule, by someone responsible for it.

Do you replace my pool, landscape or housekeeping services?

No. Your vendors stay yours. In Steward and above, we schedule them, meet them on site, and verify their work before you pay.

What happens if you find a problem?

You receive a telephone call, not a line in a report. For emergencies, we act within the authority and spending limit you set in writing, and never beyond it.

What about hurricanes?

Every engagement includes storm preparation before a named storm and a documented inspection afterward, as soon as it is safe and lawful to travel.

Do you take care of pets?

We are devoted animal owners ourselves, but pet care is not part of our engagements. We are glad to coordinate with the professional you choose.

How is your pricing set?

Our published base bands depend on the package and square footage. After the walkthrough you receive a written recommendation and a fixed monthly figure for your residence.

How long is an engagement?

In Absence engagements begin with a six-month term. In Residence runs for twelve months. Transition engagements have short minimums and then run month to month, because no one knows exactly how long an estate or a sale will take.

Will anyone know you look after my home?

Not from us. No signage at your residence, no photographs in our marketing, and no use of your name without written consent.

Who will come to my home?

At launch, Lee personally. As we grow, every person who holds a key will be background-screened, trained on our protocol, and introduced to you before their first visit.

A private walkthrough

Lee will walk your residence with you for about forty-five minutes, look at your systems, settings and shut-offs, and tell you plainly what he sees. No charge, no obligation.
