the property isarmed, why do i need assurance checks?
Vacancy Clause: Every property insurance policy has one. In today's day and age, property owners are starting to pay very close attention to that vacancy clause. Should something happen while you're away and your home was not being checked on, the likelihood of your insurance company honoring your claim is very slim. As many property owners move away from asking a friend or family member for a favor concerning their most valuable asset and look to a professional service with Liability Insurance.
Crime: A vacant home is a vulnerable home, vacant homes are extremely easy to pick off. Thieves have a multitude of different ways they identify the tell tale signs that you're away. That's where we come in. We create presence. A professional Home Watch service is your peace of mind that everything is secure while you're away.
