House checks include:
- Perimeter check
- Physical and/or visual check of all doors and windows
- Verification of vehicles left on the property
- Verification of any people found on the property
Service is provided to vacationers who are gone a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 30 days. Vacant properties are not eligible for vacation checks.
