Your Home – Our Watch
Whether you’re away for a few weeks or a few seasons, knowing your home is being looked after brings a quiet peace of mind.
At Compass Home Watch, we understand that your home isn’t just a place—it’s a story, an investment, and in many cases, a lifelong connection to the people and memories that matter most. When life takes you elsewhere, we’re here to be your trusted presence back home.
Our discreet, thoughtful services are designed for homeowners who want their property attended to—not just watched. From the garden to the basement, the curb to the mailbox, we walk your home as if it were our own, checking for concerns, coordinating services, and keeping you informed.
What is Home Watch?
“Home Watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.” – Official NHWA definition of Home Watch.
A Home Watch service provides visual inspections of homes and properties that are unoccupied for both a short or long term. A Home Watch company can perform basic home maintenance and “handyman” type repairs during the owner’s absence. A Home Watch company acts as an advocate for the homeowner, always looking out for their best interests. We are a constant and consistent line of communication. We are neither “house-sitters” that physically live at the home, nor a security service, even though our presence can be a crime deterrent because our visits provide a presence in the home. It is also a “risk mitigation” service.
