A vacant property is a vulnerable property. Without regular, professional eyes on it — without someone who knows what normal looks like and can identify when something has changed — small problems become expensive ones. A slow leak becomes water damage. A tripped breaker becomes a failed refrigerator. A storm passes through and no one checks for two weeks.

Home Watch is the service that removes that vulnerability. Regular documented visits to your property — systematic, thorough, and reported to you in writing with photographs within 24 hours of every check. You are not left wondering. You are told, in writing, that everything is fine — or exactly what is not and what is being done about it.

House of Maeven Home Watch is not a drive-by check. It is a professional property inspection with a written report. Every visit. No exceptions.

Is This You

Your property is vacant.
Here is what that actually means.

Every Home Watch client has a vacant property and a gap between visits. The situations are different. The need is the same — someone professional watching over what they cannot watch over themselves.

Seasonal Resident

You leave in May. You return in October. Five months is a long time.

You head north when the heat arrives and return when the weather breaks. That five-month window is Arizona's most demanding season — peak heat, monsoon storms, the kind of summer that tests every system in a home. While you are in Minnesota or Michigan or Colorado, your Arizona property is sitting in 115-degree heat with no one checking whether the HVAC is keeping up, whether the pool chemistry has drifted, or whether last week's monsoon left any damage behind.

You have managed this with phone calls to neighbors and crossed fingers. You know it is not enough.

We check your property on the schedule you choose — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Every visit documented and reported. Every finding addressed before it becomes a problem. You return in October to exactly the home you left.

Snowbird

You arrive in October. Your home has been empty since April.

You spend the summer elsewhere and arrive each fall to an Arizona property that has been sitting vacant through the hottest months of the year. You never quite know what you are walking into — whether the AC held up, whether anything leaked, whether the landscaping survived, whether the pool equipment is still running. The first few days of every visit involve fixing things instead of enjoying them.

We monitor your property through every month of your absence. You arrive to a written condition report confirming everything is in order — or with any issues already identified and addressed before you land.

Out-of-State Owner

You visit twice a year. The rest of the time it is an untended asset.

You own property in Arizona but your life is elsewhere. You get there when you can — maybe twice a year, maybe less. In between, the property is essentially unmonitored. You pay the bills, you hope nothing goes wrong, and you find out about problems only when they have already become expensive. A neighbor called about something once. You handled it from 2,000 miles away with no context and no vendor relationships.

We become your professional presence in Arizona. Regular checks, written reports, and the confidence that someone who knows what to look for is looking — every single visit.

Extended Absence

You are away for a defined period. Your home needs eyes while you are gone.

An extended trip. A family obligation in another city. A work assignment that takes you away for months. Whatever the reason, your home will be vacant for longer than feels comfortable — and you need someone professional to watch over it while you are not there. Not a neighbor. Not a casual arrangement. A documented, professional property check with written reporting.

Home Watch can be engaged for any period of vacancy — a month, a season, or ongoing. Flexible, professional, and reported every single visit.

What Every Visit Includes

This is not a casual walk-through.
Every check is a documented inspection.

Every Home Watch visit follows the same systematic protocol — exterior to interior, mechanical to cosmetic — with every finding documented and reported to you in writing within 24 hours.

Visit Frequency

You choose how often.
We price accordingly.

Every property is different. Every vacancy period is different. Home Watch is priced based on the visit frequency you choose — so you get exactly the level of oversight your property and your peace of mind require. All pricing discussed privately after your initial consultation.

I

Monthly

Entry Level · Shorter Vacancies

One professional documented visit per month. Right for clients with lower-complexity properties, shorter vacancy periods, or those who want professional oversight at the most accessible level.

Best for: Vacancies of 1–3 months · Simpler properties · Budget-conscious clients

III

Weekly

Premium · Maximum Oversight

A visit every week — the highest level of Home Watch coverage. Right for high-value properties, complex systems, extended vacancies, or clients who simply want the deepest possible peace of mind.

Best for: High-value properties · Complex systems · Monsoon season · Long vacancies

Visit frequency and pricing are discussed privately in your initial consultation. We present a single monthly fee based on the frequency you choose — one number, clearly stated, no line items. The conversation takes ten minutes. The peace of mind lasts all season.

Monsoon Season

Arizona's most
destructive season —
we watch for it.

July · August · September
High Winds · Heavy Rain
Hail · Flash Flooding
The season most owners
are not here to see

July through September, monsoon storms move through the Scottsdale, East Valley, and Fountain Hills corridors with little warning. High winds. Heavy rain. Hail. Flash flooding. The kind of weather that can cause real damage to a property in a single afternoon — and compound significantly if no one catches it for days or weeks.

For seasonal residents and snowbirds, this is the most vulnerable period their property faces all year. The property is vacant. The owners are gone. And without someone watching, a fallen tree branch through a window, pooling water against a foundation, or a damaged gate can sit unaddressed until the damage is far more expensive to fix.

Every House of Maeven Home Watch client receives a storm response check within 24 hours of any significant monsoon event — regardless of their scheduled visit frequency. If a storm rolls through, we check your property. We document what we find. We report it to you the same day.

What We Check After Every Storm

Roof visible condition — any damage, lifted material, or debris
All windows and doors — confirmed secured, no breakage
Pool equipment — confirmed operational, no storm damage
Exterior structures — fencing, gates, outdoor furniture
Drainage and pooling — no water accumulation against the structure
Trees and landscaping — any limbs threatening the structure or pool
Interior spot check — ceiling condition, any window or door seepage

Home Watch & What Comes Next

A service that stands alone —
and a relationship that can grow.

Home Watch is a complete, standalone service. It is also the most natural introduction to everything House of Maeven does — and many clients who begin with Home Watch choose to expand their relationship over time.

Home Watch — Standalone

Documented vacancy monitoring — exactly as described.

Regular property checks. Written reports with photographs. Storm response. Professional oversight of your vacant property for as long as you need it. No obligation to expand. No pressure to add services. This is a complete service on its own.

The Natural Next Step

When you are ready for full Home Management.

Many Home Watch clients — especially seasonal residents who experience their first season with professional oversight — choose to expand into full Home Management. The difference: vendor management and oversight, pre-arrival preparation, and the full ongoing membership relationship. When you are ready, the conversation is easy. We already know your property.

How It Begins

Home Watch begins with
a conversation.

Getting started is straightforward. Tell us about your property and your vacancy period. We handle the rest.

01

The Initial Conversation

We start with a brief consultation — your property, your vacancy period, and how frequently you want us checking in. No obligation. No pressure. Just a clear picture of what your property needs and what Home Watch will look like for your specific situation.

02

The Property Walkthrough

We walk the property before your first scheduled absence — documenting its baseline condition with photographs. This becomes the reference point for every future visit. We know what normal looks like so we can immediately identify when something has changed.

03

The Service Agreement & Pricing

Within 48 hours we present a simple service agreement and a single monthly fee based on your chosen visit frequency. One number. No line items. No hourly rates. You proceed when you are ready — and your first scheduled check happens within the first week of your departure.

04

Your First Report

Within 24 hours of your first property check, you receive a written report with photographs confirming your property's condition. From that moment forward, you receive the same report after every single visit — so the distance feels, for the first time, entirely manageable.
