What are Home Watch Services?

According to the National Home Watch Association, Home Watch Services are a visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues. Home Watch Services give owners peace of mind while away. In Southwest Florida, where heat, humidity, and storms are a real concern, leaving your home unattended can lead to costly surprises. Whether you’re gone for weeks or months, we are your trusted local eyes—checking for leaks, mold, pests, storm damage, and anything else that could go wrong. Regular visits help catch problems early and help keep your home safe, secure, and well cared for—so you can relax, knowing it’s in good hands.

We also provide these same reliable services for rental properties with absentee owners. If you’re managing tenants from afar, we’ll provide visual inspections to help make sure your property stays in great shape. From routine check-ins to coordinating repairs and storm prep, we help protect your investment while giving you peace of mind—without stepping into the role of full property management so you can save money.

Client Testimonials

“We bought our Florida home while still living in Massachusetts and hired Chris Ordway for home watch services—so glad we did! He sent weekly reports, photos, and even handled things like meeting pest control. Chris is professional, reliable, and thorough. Highly recommend!’
Cheryl S.

Verdana Village, Estero

“Chris has done a really nice job checking on my home and fixing things when needed. He’s fast too – both times we had issues, he had things fixed the same day! I love that he can do the simple things himself so I don’t have to hire someone.”

Delphia D.

The Preserve at Corkscrew, Estero

I’m so happy with Ordway HomeGuard for my rental. There was some mold detected by the tenant that ended up being from a small leak in the ceiling. They made sure it got fixed super fast and I didn’t have to worry about it. I highly recommend Chris and Dawn for total peace of mind!
