About Us
Why Snowbirds Home Watch Services?
Home Watch is known by many names: house watch, vacant home management, home away, home concierge, caretaker, absentee home service, property watch, and so on. Regardless of the name, a Home Watch Service performs scheduled inspections of “vacant” properties while the owner is away. We, at Snowbirds, believe in 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure'. We fulfill your expectation of trust, reliability and integrity in Westport, Easton, Darien and close by cities. Consider us as the good neighbor, yet working for you and being insured as such.
