How do I know when you visit my home? Our technology uses GPS coordinates to pinpoint your home location and electronically record our presence. This information is recorded in a report that you receive about your property visit. Digital time-stamped images are included in your report.

Q: Are you licensed, insured and bonded?

Are you licensed, insured and bonded? The state of Florida does NOT require that home watch professionals hold a license. However, we are Florida Licensed Community Association Managers. In addition, we are Members of the International Home Watch Alliance and are both Certified Home Watch Reporters, trained by the professional organization the Home Watch Academy. Carefree Home Watch carries a GENERAL LIABILITY POLICY in the amount of $1,000,000/$2,000,000 aggregate, and Professional and Pollution Liability. We also carry a Surety Bond in the amount of $10,000. Every client receives a copy of our Certificate of Insurance upon request.

Q: How do you handle problems that arise during your visit?

How do you handle problems that arise during your visit? Our first priority is safety followed by identifying the problem and minimizing any further damage as a result. We will first attempt to consult with you, the home owner. If we are unable to contact you directly we will attempt to consult with your designee and if we are unable to contact either of you we will take the appropriate action to minimize the problem. We maintain a network of vendors that we may call upon to assist us in finding a timely and cost effective solution to your problem. A full assessment report will be provided to you as well. Should an outside vendor be required to come to the property a Carefree Home Watch representative will make sure that they have access to the property and that the property is secured upon departure.

Q: What else do you check during a home visit?

What else do you check during a home visit? Carefree Home Watch prepares a property observation report that may include special items requested by each homeowner during each visit. We are always vigilant and looking for obvious issues and concerns that may not be included in the standard observation report. If we observe something out of the ordinary we make an evaluation of the issues and determine the level of urgency that it should require.

Q: How often do you visit?

How often do you visit? We always recommend weekly visits. A vacant home is a vulnerable home! Too many things can and do go wrong while you are away. We will accept Bi-Weekly assignments, but, nothing less for a regularly scheduled visit. We do offer a Getaway Plan for permanent residents that have short (minimum two weeks)/long term (maximum 90 days) vacation plans, or a need to be away with a sick family member/friend or other short term requirements.

Larry and Terry are amazing. I interviewed them for my community and have been recommending them every since with nothing but great feedback from my homeowners. Very detailed and professional. Highly recommended.

With a company like Carefree Home Watch and the team Larry has built. It blows my mind, why people still use their neighbor to "Look after" their home. I am very happy to have the Carefree Team working for me.

Your home is a huge investment, so you should protect it when you’re not there. If you are a part time resident and leave your home unprotected, you could return to a disaster. Larry and his wife are professional home watchers. When he explained to me all of the things he does to protect his client’s homes, I was shocked. While I like my neighbor, I can’t expect him to do everything that Carefree does. They have the education, credentials and the attention to detail that you need. I highly recommended Carefree Home Watch.

Larry is the most professional business man I know. He is careful to educate his clients on his profession and follows through with his commitments.

Outstanding company. The owners actually went to school and get certified in homewatch. I’ve learned from research not a lot of home watches actually go to school to learn their trade. The owner of this company also has construction experience which I felt was huge . The owners are very nice and I think after meeting them you will feel as comfortable as I do using them .
