What Our Home Watch Service Includes

Our Home Watch visits are customized to the property, but commonly include:

Interior Property Checks

We walk through accessible areas of the home and check for visible concerns, including leaks, odors, moisture, pests, damage, open windows, unlocked doors, or other issues that may need attention.

Plumbing Freshness Checks

We can flush toilets, run sinks, check drains, and look for visible water issues around toilets, vanities, tubs, showers, and under-sink areas.

HVAC and Thermostat Checks

We verify that the home’s temperature settings appear appropriate and that there are no obvious heating, cooling, humidity, or airflow concerns.

Pest and Rodent Monitoring

We can check existing mouse traps, remove used traps, reset traps, replace traps as needed, and report any signs of pest activity.

Light Cleaning and Dusting

For homes that need to remain presentable, we can provide light touch-up cleaning, including dusting visible surfaces, wiping counters, checking bathrooms, and helping keep the home fresh.

Show-Ready Home Checks

If your home is listed for sale or may be shown by a realtor, we can help keep the home looking clean, presentable, and ready for potential buyers.

Security and Condition Review

We check doors, windows, lights, obvious signs of entry, visible damage, and anything that may need attention before it becomes a larger problem.

Service Coordination

If something needs to be handled, we can help coordinate trusted vendors, meet service providers, provide access, and update you along the way.

Home Watch for Real Estate Showings

If your home is on the market, presentation matters.

Madison Home Management can help keep your property ready for realtor showings by checking the home regularly, looking for anything out of place, performing light cleaning touch-ups, and helping ensure the home gives the right impression.

We can help with:

  • Pre-showing walkthroughs

  • Light dusting and surface wipe-downs

  • Bathroom and kitchen readiness checks

  • Odor checks

  • Toilet flushing and sink checks

  • Entryway presentation

  • Trash removal if needed
