Services
Professional oversight for absentee and second homes.
Whether you’re away for the season, on business, or simply too busy to manage routine maintenance, Advocate Home Watch Services provides regularly scheduled visual inspections and trusted oversight — preventing small issues from becoming big problems.
Detailed interior and exterior visual inspections — clearly documented in a Home Watch report delivered to you, wherever you are. Our purpose is risk mitigation: identifying obvious concerns early, before they escalate into expensive damage.
North Carolina weather can change quickly. We perform pre- and post-storm visual checks for obvious wind damage, power loss, or water intrusion — with prompt notification and documentation so licensed professionals can be engaged when needed.
We coordinate access for owner-approved professionals — secure key-holder services, meeting providers, mail/package retrieval, garbage service, and welcome-home preparation. We observe, document, and report.
For out-of-area owners, we verify contracted services were completed with pictures and reports — letting you manage repairs remotely with confidence.
Our pre- and post-storm visits identify obvious damage and let us coordinate licensed professionals quickly — minimizing further damage and getting your home back to normal.

FAQ

While most clients benefit from a recurring weekly or bi-weekly schedule, we also offer one-time pre-trip, post-trip, pre-storm, and pre-closing inspections for homeowners with shorter-term needs.
Beyond a careful visual review, we use professional tools such as moisture meters, infrared thermometers, and humidity sensors to validate what we see, smell, or hear — helping catch issues that aren’t always visible to the eye.
No. Those services require licensed and insured specialists. We act as your trusted advocate — scheduling, providing access, and verifying their work with photos and notes — but we do not perform the work ourselves.
Yes. Welcome-home and departure preparation are popular concierge add-ons — adjusting thermostats, stocking essentials, confirming utilities, securing the home, and ensuring everything is ready for your arrival or properly buttoned up when you go.
