- What Home Watch Is
Sound Estate Watch provides scheduled, systematic Home Watch services for unoccupied and seasonal residential properties. We perform consistent, on-site observations, document visible conditions, and report findings so emerging issues are identified early. - Scheduled & Systematic

We report facts, not guesses. “Water stain on ceiling, 8 inches diameter, appears recent” not “probably a roof leak.” You know when, where, and what type of professional may be needed to evaluate it. - Defined Scope
Services focus on observation, documentation, and reporting. When licensed professionals are required, we coordinate access and provide documented visibility.

Why Homeowners Choose Sound Estate Watch
Built on real construction experience — not generic checklists.
Sound Estate Watch brings decades of hands-on residential construction experience to every Home Watch visit. That background informs where to look and which visible conditions to document, providing clearer insight into property condition over time.
Rather than relying solely on standardized checklists, we apply practical building knowledge to visual observation, documentation, and reporting — delivering clearer insight and more useful records for property decision-making.
Home Watch Service Tiers (Monthly)

How We Report
Digital Photo Documentation
Each visit includes comprehensive, time-stamped photo documentation of observed areas. Images are organized by location and level of concern to create a clear visual record of property condition. Typical visits generate dozens of photos depending on property size and conditions noted.
Written Observations
Clear, concise written notes accompany each visit, describing what is visibly observed, where it was noted, and why it may matter. Observations range from minor informational items to time-sensitive concerns.
Priority Classification
Observed items are categorized by urgency to support clear decision-making:
- Urgent
Time-sensitive conditions requiring prompt review
(e.g., active water intrusion, security issues, visibly irregular conditions)
- Advisory
Items to plan for or address soon
(e.g., developing leaks, seasonal preparation, maintenance planning)
- Informational
Conditions to monitor over time
(e.g., cosmetic changes, gradual wear, environmental exposure)
Ongoing Condition History
Each visit is added to your property’s ongoing digital record, allowing review of past reports, comparison of conditions over time, and identification of developing patterns. Trend visibility comes from accumulated visit history—not automated analytics.
Urgent Notification Protocol
When urgent conditions are observed, owners are notified promptly outside of the standard reporting cycle. Any additional coordination or response is handled only with owner authorization.
Secure Digital Records
All reports and images are stored within a secure client portal, providing ongoing access to your property’s documented history. Records remain available for reference, insurance needs, and third-party coordination.
