The vacation rental business can be very profitable for property owners, but it can easily turn into a significant burden if necessary precautions are not taken. The most important task of any host is to take care of their property so their guests have a pleasant experience when staying at their place. 

If you’re absent from your property, many things can happen to your vacation rental, including break-ins, water leakage, electrical problems, or even the travesty of dealing with the fallout from a sudden hurricane, to mention just a few of the dangers of having a vacation rental or property that you must be absent from. Even if you have trustworthy neighbors or relatives living close by, hiring an expert to act on your behalf is a much better, and safer option. When you are far from home, or running a rental business, a home watch service will give you peace of mind that your home and your investments are safe.

Even if you live nearby, doing all the labor your property requires would mean dedicating yourself to providing customer care around the clock. This can be a huge undertaking that is best completed by a capable team. Having a vacation rental manager that also provides home watch services will make it easier for you to rent on a day-to-day basis, so you can focus on whatever private endeavors you have, and not need to worry if you need to head out of town that something could endanger your property.

Employing a Professional Pays Off

The purpose of hiring a home watch service is to reduce your stress and provide you with a sense of security while you are away from home. This service offers you routine professional inspections to look for any issues. Home watch services create a personalized checklist with your property in mind, focusing on your specific requirements and worries, to make sure that your home’s structural, material, and security demands are met.

Using careful planning and thorough checklists, a professional property management company like Marwest can spot any issues before they become a real headache and end up causing some real damage to your home while you are absent.

By regularly inspecting your property, you can save having to pay out a lot of money for repairs because these potential problems will be resolved upfront before they become significant, whether that be electrical, plumbing or the foundation and infastructure of the building itself. This vigilant approach will keep your home in excellent condition.
