Second Home Monitoring

With the advantages of second homeownership, however, come the tasks of securing and maintaining an additional property. If the owner is not around to check on things regularly, it may be days or even weeks before leaks, broken windows, or frozen pipes are discovered. What might start out as a minor problem can quickly escalate into a big disaster if no one is around to take immediate action. In addition to being more susceptible to disrepair, an empty house is also a prime target for burglary and vandalism. An owner who relies on a property manager to rent out a home or condo faces different but equally serious issues. A dishonest realtor, for instance, might book a rental for the home without ever telling the owner.
