Questions

What is independent 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.

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

Keep that arrangement; it is a kindness worth having. What a neighbour 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 Stewardship 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 afterwards, 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?

By the residence and the level of engagement. After the walkthrough you receive a written recommendation and a fixed monthly figure. We never quote a price we have not seen the residence to justify.

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.
