Home Watch is a visual inspection of a house, condo, or other property. It is very popular for homeowners who own multiple houses or condos and landlords who don't live close to their rental properties.
Southwest Florida has a large number of seasonal residents, also known as snowbirds, who need to have their second home monitored during the off season for storm damage, leaking roofs, and other damages that happen due to normal wear and tear.
Dick Hughes also monitors rental properties so that landlords have peace of mind that their maintenance companies are staying on top of maintaining their rentals and the tenants are caring for the properties.
We also have relationships with handymen, landscapers, roofers, and other contractors to perform repairs and maintenance as needed so that your home is ready for you to enjoy when you visit Cape Coral to relax.
Cape Coral Home Monitoring by Dick Hughes will help you live a peaceful, relaxing life. Let American Brokers Realty watch your vacation or rental home for you while you're not in Lee County, Florida! Hiring Cape Coral Homewatch will guarantee years of peaceful home ownership in Southwest Florida.
