Owners on vacation, absentee owners, non-rental
property and rental property
As
part of our full service commitment to our clients, Vineyard
Caretakers provide varying levels of caretaking
services to meet every level of need.
Vineyard
Caretakers caretaking service is a
must for distant owners who choose either to rent or not to rent
their home. Our caretaking service is customized to your needs
and may include any of the following:
• Regular
property inspections - Scheduled walk-through property inspections
checking for maintenance needs and security of your property.
If you are renting your property, this includes an inspection
on “turnover” day when your home is being vacated
by your departing renters but before being prepared for your
next renter. These inspections will hi-light any visible damage
so that appropriate security may be withheld.
•
Verification of valuable inventory - You can custom select items
in your home that you want verified during property inspections.
We will take digital photos of such items and use as a checklist
during each visit and inform you immediately of any discrepancies.
