Caring For Your Home While You Are Away
When travel takes you away from the Yurkon, having someone here at home looking after things is important.
Acuity Advantage provides scheduled, in-person visits to help ensure changes or concerns at your property do not go unnoticed during your absence.
Whether you are travelling for a few weeks, spending part of the winter elsewhere, or frequently away for work or personal travel, our local team provides a consistent point of contact and keeps you informed about the condition of your property.
Areas We Serve
Our local team provides Home Watch services throughout Whitehorse and the immediate surrounding area.
If you live on a rural property and would like to inquire about Home Watch, contact us to confirm availability.
Why Regular Home Watch Matters
Life in the North brings its own considerations when a home is left unoccupied.
Extended cold can place significant demands on heating, plumbing and other household systems. Snow accumulation, power interruptions, changing exterior conditions and unexpected mechanical concerns can become more serious when no one is there to notice them.
Distance can also play a huge role in providing immediate care. Getting back to Whitehorse quickly to investigate a concern may simply not be possible, depending on where and how far you have travelled.
Having regular home watch visits means that someone is caring for your home while you are away.
Our professionals look for visible changes or irregularities, document each visit, and communicate concerns so that appropriate action can be taken when needed.
Regular home checks may also be required under the terms of some insurance policies when a property is vacant or unoccupied. Homeowners should always confirm the requirements of their individual policy before travelling.
Home Watch Designed Around Your Home
No two properties, homeowners or travel schedules are exactly alike. Our clients include snowbirds, frequent travellers, homeowners who regularly travel, owners of multiple residences, executors and estate representatives, and homeowners whose properties will temporarily be unoccupied.
We begin by understanding your home and what needs to happen while you are away, then establish a schedule and service plan appropriate to your needs.
Each visit follows a structured process for observing and documenting the condition of your property. If something appears out of the ordinary, you are informed and, when appropriate, we can coordinate next steps on your behalf, from providing access to a service professional to coordinating a repair or responding to an unexpected situation.
Professional Standards You Can Rely On
Acuity Advantage is an Accredited Member of the National Home Watch Association, and our team includes Certified Home Watch Professionals.
These are not simply credentials we list. They are part of the professional standard we believe should exist whenever someone is entrusted with access to your home.
Let's Talk About Your Home
Every property requires something a little different.
An initial consultation gives us an opportunity to learn about your home, understand your travel plans and determine the level of support that makes sense for you.
