Your home (or second home) is one of your biggest investments! Have peace of mind that you are meeting your home insurance policy requirements while you are away, by having regular home watch inspections! Our 36 point visual inspection covers off obvious issues that can arise while you are away. Our inspectors use our customized smart phone app to time and date stamp our inspections and prove we were there, by automatically obtaining our GPS position on Google Maps. We take fresh photo's inside and out as part of our checklist that is automatically sent via email to you as a pdf file at the end of our inspection! Inspections are also permanently available on our secure client portal on our website for future reference. We also have full maintenance services available to look after your property while you are away, doing as little or as much as you wish, to make sure you have as much free time as you can when you are enjoying the mountain lifestyle in Kimberley. Imagine coming home to a fully stocked pantry, wine cabinet and refrigerator with fresh cut flowers on the table! Our concierge service can make it happen! We can even pick you up (or drop you off) from the airport! HomeAssure also offers 24/7 alarm follow up as an authorized key holder to be your eyes and ears onsite, while dealing with emergency or service personnel, making sure we coordinate any repairs required on your behalf onsite and re-secure the home and alarm. We are fully insured, bonded, licensed and proud to be members of the National Home Watch Association, abiding by their code of conduct and code of ethics.

Why get a Professional Home Watch company to watch your home when you are not there? Why take a chance with one of your largest investments? I have a neighbor or friend that has offered to house sit, what’s wrong with that? Nothing has ever happened while we were away before, why should I worry? I have an alarm system, do I really need Home Watch? Do you trust that your friend or neighbor will indeed do a standardized check for obvious issues in your home and prove they have done so?
Are you sure that your insurance company will accept the undocumented claim by you that the home was being checked on, or will they deny your claim? Hint: word of mouth does not cut it, nor does just signing an affidavit.
Does your friend or neighbor have the proper insurance to do what they do, and are they bonded should something go wrong?
Does your friend or neighbor abide by a code of ethics and have set privacy standards?
Does your friend or neighbor have a secure process of dealing with your keys, door and alarm codes? • Check your homeowner’s insurance policy: most policies require that you can PROVE that someone has checked on your home every 72 hours. (Some policies vary) • Most insurance policies read that if the home has not been occupied or checked on, your coverage will be cancelled if the home has been left vacant for 30 days. HomeAssure Home Watch Services offers Professional solutions to all of the above problems and concerns! Let us come up with a comprehensive Home Watch schedule for you. We will give you the Peace of Mind that your home is in good hands, checked on time and as promised while you are away, since we are your eyes and ears on your property. • HomeAssure has a standard 36 point exterior and interior checklist that we employ for each inspection, along with anything unique to the property that is required upon our initial meeting with you, looking for obvious issues that may arise. Please note that this IS our day job and we take it very seriously. Even the most complex alarm and home automation systems do not replace eyes, ears and noses on location checking for obvious issues. @homeassurehomewatch

In a recent article in E-Know, it was stated that there is a substantial increase in false alarms in Kimberley. This creates a real issue for emergency response personnel as they are faced with trying to contact out of town or vacationing home owners or having to gain entry to the home by forceable means. At HomeAssure Home Watch, we have two solutions to this issue: • If you have already signed up for our Home Watch Service (which includes regular inspections), since we are already an authorized key holder by you, we can respond to the Home alarm on your behalf, letting emergency services into the home, addressing any issues, resetting the alarm and re-securing the home. • If you have signed up for our 24/7 emergency follow up service, (for a small yearly fee, no Home Watch Services included) as authorized key holder by you, we can respond to the Home alarm on your behalf, letting emergency services into the home, addressing any issues, resetting the alarm and re-securing the home. Either way, you are assured that Emergency Services will have access to your home without having to break into the home, being faced with repair costs and having your home left unattended and unsecured. @homeassurehomewatch #kimberleybc,

At HomeAssure Home Watch, we love to look after out of town home owners, right from the time they purchase their vacation home. In addition to our Home Watch services, making sure you have your home inspected every 72 hours (or as required by your insurance policy, and for Peace of Mind!), we are able to supply maintenance and cleaning services for your home as you require them. Even if you have a “state of the art” alarm system, you still need someone to follow up with an alarm, deal with the issue and re-secure the home…. We do that! Recently we looked after one of our cleaning client’s needs in arranging for final carpet cleaning and final cleaning of the home prior to possession by new owners, including wipe down inside and out of all cupboards, closets, cleaning all bathrooms, floors, etc. We were sorry to lose a good client, but were glad to be able to do a final clean on their behalf. Our top notch client’s left a very good impression with the new owners and their real estate professional!

Cold weather is coming to Kimberley! Now is not the time to take a chance on leaving your vacant home unchecked! Most insurance companies require proof that a home was checked by a competent person every 72 hours. No matter what your policy says, why take a chance on your major investment by dealing with a freeze up, deductible, and insurance claim!!!! HomeAssure Home Watch is bonded, insured, licensed and is a vetted, accredited member of the National Home Watch Association! We use our in house app to document our standardized inspections with photos, geotagged location on google maps and a time/date stamp. Our report is sent to you in PDF format before we leave your home. @homeassurehomewatch #kimberleybc #tourismkimberley #assurance #insurancecompliance #insuranceclaimavoidance #koots #95eh #agoodplacetobe #kootrocks #kootrocks4life #eastkootenays #babyitscoldoutside

Sooooo….This is what happens when your hot water heater goes unexpectedly! We insisted that our plumber install a draining tray connected to the sewer drain during our last replacement after having a wet basement last time. We were at home this time and all was good, but what if we were vacant homeowners on holiday, vacation homeowners or vacant home sellers??? At HomeAssure Home Watch we check on your home as often as you like in accordance with your wishes and your insurance requirements. Most policies require proof of checks every 72 hours by a “competent person”. No matter what your policy says, why take a chance on your major investment by dealing with a flooded basement, paying a deductible and having an insurance claim!!!! HomeAssure Home Watch is bonded, insured, licensed and is a vetted, accredited member of the National Home Watch Association. We use our in house app to document our standardized inspections with photos, geotagged location of Google Maps and a time/date stamp. Our report is sent to you in .pdf format before we even leave your home.

When you are on holiday, you want to focus on having a good time and enjoying your destination! The last thing you want to worry about is having your home freeze up, having mice invade your home or having someone help themselves to your belongings while you are away!
Some folks think that having a friend or neighbor check on their home while they are away is a good idea, but what if something really happens while you are away? Do you want your friend or neighbor try to figure out what to do while you are away? What if they are working? What if they don’t check on you home often enough to meet insurance compliance? (Usually 72 hours) What if your insurance company asks for proof that they were there? Most insurance policies have a clause like this: “The insured must provide proof that a home was checked by a competent person no more than every 72 hours”. The average person does not read the fine print on their policies as they tend to be a tad boring to read. Have total peace of mind by having us look after your property when you are away! We will make sure you meet insurance compliance and have peace of mind when you are away by being your eyes and ears for your property. We do a 36 point inspection using our GoCanvas app that we have customized to provide you with a digital pdf report before we leave your property. Our reports are time/date tagged and geo-referenced on Google Maps with a GPS position and digital photos, providing you with absolute proof we were there doing an inspection on your behalf.

We are licensed, insured, bonded and proud members of the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce. Also check out our full array of maintenance, cleaning, concierge, AirBnB/VRBO check-in/out services, key holder services and alarm follow up! Our goal is to look after all of your home needs while you are away, so you have total confidence your biggest investment is being looked after with the utmost care.

By far, the best part of our Home Watch business is our clients! We have had a few awesome testimonials the last while! Here is one of them! When my husband and I were looking for a Home Watch service for our condo in Kimberley, BC, we had a number of criteria in mind. First and foremost we wanted someone who was trustworthy and had good communication skills. We also wanted someone who was local and knew the area. We hoped for someone who treated the job as a professional and was easily accessible. We hired Tim and HomeAssure in January of this year. To date all these criteria have been met and then some. We are very impressed with Tim's reports which are sent to our email — they include pictures and checklists for each inspection. It is clear to me that Tim treats your home as if it were his own. He thinks of extras like shovelling the snow in the driveway so the unit looks lived in. He is very quick to respond to my emails or phone calls. The favourite part of Tim's service is his willingness to do more than just house inspections. For instance, we will be using his airport pickup service this week, which will also include a stop to pick up groceries on the way to the unit. Over the years I have discovered that it is harder and harder to find the "A Team" when looking for services. I can say that thus far Tim and HomeAssure are the "A Team". He is willing to go the extra mile and I have no hesitation in recommending Tim and HomeAssure Home Watch. J.W. (Coquitlam, BC) @homeassurehomewatch
