What Is a Home Watch Service?
Home Watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.
It is different from a traditional home inspection and different from simply asking a neighbor to occasionally stop by.
Our visits are specifically focused on checking your property while you’re away. We follow a customized checklist based on your home, your preferences, and applicable HOA requirements.
The goal is simple: keep you informed about what is happening at your Bellevue property when you can’t be there yourself.
What Do We Check During a Bellevue, WA Home Watch Visit?
Every property is different, so we customize our Home Watch checklist to the home and homeowner.
Depending on your service plan, a visit may include:
Interior Home Checks
• Doors and windows
• Visible signs of water leaks or moisture
• Sinks, toilets, and visible plumbing
• Unusual odors or noises
• Thermostat and HVAC operation based on your preferences
• Appliances and fixtures as requested
• Signs of pest activity
• General changes since the previous visit
Exterior Property Checks
• Exterior doors and accessible windows
• Garage area
• General perimeter of the property
• Packages, flyers, or other visible accumulation
• Weather-related changes or concerns
• Other visible conditions that may require your attention
If we observe something unusual, we communicate with you promptly so you can decide how you would like it handled.
Photos and a Written Report After Every Visit
One of the biggest advantages of professional Home Watch service is documentation.
After each scheduled visit, Seattle Area HomeWatch Services provides a written report with photos from the property.
Instead of wondering whether someone stopped by or what they looked at, you receive documentation showing that your Home Watch visit was completed and what was observed.
For homeowners spending weeks or months away from Bellevue, this can provide an important connection to the property.
Home Watch for Bellevue Snowbirds
If you leave Bellevue for several months each year, your house doesn't stop needing attention simply because you're somewhere warmer.
A home that appears perfectly fine when you leave can experience changes while you're away.
Our scheduled Home Watch visits provide regular eyes on your property throughout your absence.
We can establish a schedule based on your travel plans and property needs, whether you're away for a shorter trip or an extended seasonal stay.
When you return to Bellevue, your Home Watch schedule can be adjusted accordingly.
Second Home and Condo Checks in Bellevue, WA
Not every Bellevue property we watch needs to be a primary residence.
Home Watch can also be useful for owners of:
• Second homes
• Condominiums
• Townhomes
• Seasonal residences
• Properties temporarily unoccupied between moves
• Homes left vacant during extended work assignments
Condos and townhomes can have different needs from single-family residences. We can tailor the checklist to your individual property and coordinate around applicable HOA requirements.
More Than a House Check
Sometimes something needs to happen at your property while you're away.
When requested, Seattle Area HomeWatch Services can provide additional assistance such as:
Contractor and vendor access
Need a repair professional to enter the home while you're away? We can help coordinate property access.
HOA coordination
If building or HOA work requires access to your unit, we can assist when arranged in advance.
Mail and package assistance
Unexpected deliveries or accumulated items can sometimes require attention while you're traveling.
Customized property requests
Every home and homeowner is different. We can discuss additional reasonable tasks as part of your customized Home Watch plan.
The result is more than someone occasionally driving past your house. You have a local resource who understands your property and your instructions.

Home Watch vs. Asking a Neighbor to Check Your House
Having a good neighbor is valuable, and professional Home Watch doesn't need to replace that relationship.
The difference is that checking your property is the purpose of our visit.
A neighbor may collect a package, glance at the house, or walk through occasionally. A professional Home Watch visit follows an established routine and provides documentation afterward.
Your neighbor can still be your neighbor.
Let us handle the scheduled Home Watch visits.
How Often Should Your Bellevue, WA Home Be Checked?
There isn't one schedule that's appropriate for every property.
The right frequency can depend on your home, how long you'll be away, the time of year, your preferences, and any requirements associated with your property or insurance coverage.
Seattle Area HomeWatch Services offers flexible scheduling, including weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly Home Watch visits.
If you'll be leaving a property unoccupied, you should also contact your insurance agent or insurance company to determine whether your policy has specific requirements regarding an unoccupied or vacant home.
Every insurance policy is different, so it's best to obtain the requirements for your particular property directly from your insurer.
