Weekly walkthroughs · Key holding & alarm response · Monthly report
Sentinel is the plan for owners who want a standing presence at the property every week, someone who holds the keys, answers the alarm company, meets the vendor, and tells you what happened. It is oversight without a maintenance commitment.
Full interior and exterior pass every week: doors and windows, HVAC operation, lighting, plumbing fixtures, storm signs, pests, and intrusion indicators. Same reference points, every visit.
We hold secure access, respond to alarm-company calls, and let in the vendors you approve, so nothing about your house depends on a spare key under a rock.
Storm readiness before weather hits, immediate contact on anything urgent, and protective action if you cannot be reached.
Photo and video documentation from every visit, rolled into a monthly summary of condition, items to watch, and anything we recommend.
Baseline photo documentation, access credentials logged under our privacy protocol, alarm company and vendor contacts updated to include us.
A weekly walkthrough on a fixed day. Systems exercised, not just looked at: faucets run, heat cycled, doors checked.
You hear from us the same day with photos. If a vendor is needed, we quote it, you approve it, we meet them and verify the work.
One clean summary of the month with every visit’s photos attached. Nothing to chase.
This is the same checklist that appears in your service agreement, so what you read here is what you sign and what you get.
Sentinel visits verify each of these weekly and coordinate the vendor when work is needed; labor is quoted for your approval.
Every report is short, photographed and specific. You should be able to read it on your phone in two minutes and know exactly what happened at your property and what, if anything, needs your decision.
Illustrative example. Details, hours and dollar figures vary by property.

Full terms are set out in the Estate Stewardship Agreement you sign at onboarding.
Cadence and responsibility. Home Watch is a bi-weekly look with a report. Sentinel is weekly, and we hold the keys, respond to the alarm, and coordinate vendors on your behalf.
No hours are built in. When something needs doing, we quote it and handle it at $125/hr, or step you up to Evergreen if repairs are becoming routine.
Yes. Sentinel can pause or drop to a lighter cadence while you are home, then resume when you leave. We just ask for 30 days’ notice.
Complete the estate questionnaire and we’ll confirm availability within 24 hours, or book a private consultation and we’ll talk it through first. Discretion is the job.
