Accreditation ensures that the clients know the NHWA member is properly insured, bonded, and agrees to uphold and abide by the Code of Ethics and Mission Statement of the NHWA. Elite Home Watchers received its accreditation in the NHWA to show our strive for excellence and credibility. It is important that we separate ourselves from any others since there are no set rules or standards required to operate a home watch business. Unfortunately, there are many companies that have little or no insurance or bonding. Many are unlicensed and don\u2019t perform background checks on employees. As a member of the NHWA, Elite Home Watchers operates at the highest standards and provides consistent inspections and accurate reporting to its clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    Elite Home Watchers is an insured, bonded and accredited Home Watch Company serving Lakewood Ranch, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Bird Key to Lido Key, Sarasota, and Bradenton (Manatee and Sarasota Counties). We check your property and identify problems or potential problems that can occur while your property is vacant.

We can help with most requests you have by contacting us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=\"25px\" _builder_version=\"4.23.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\" header_4_text_color=\"#1C65AA\"]

    An alarm company provides security for my home. What value do you add?<\/span><\/h4>\n
    An alarm company monitors entry into your home or a fire alarm, but they do not monitor potential problems that can occur due to weather damage, broken pipes, mold, pests or vagrants nor do they run your mechanical systems to ensure proper operation. As a value-added service, we can also act as the local point of contact for your alarm company and respond as the need arises.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=\"25px\" _builder_version=\"4.23.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\" header_4_text_color=\"#1C65AA\"]

    Are your services expensive?<\/span><\/h4>\n
    We think our services are reasonably priced for the value we provide.

We will be happy to discuss our pricing for home watch and concierge services during a free consultation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=\"25px\" _builder_version=\"4.23.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\" header_4_text_color=\"#1C65AA\"]
