Getting Ready to Head South for Winter? Don't Forget About Your Minnesota Home
Are you getting ready to trade the snow for warm sunshine?
For many Minnesota homeowners, fall is a busy season filled with preparations for a winter away. Between getting your home ready for the cold, coordinating services, making travel arrangements, and remembering all those little details before departure, there is a lot to manage.
But amid all the preparations, one important question deserves your attention: Who will be watching your home while you’re away?
Your Home Needs Attention While You're Away
Leaving your Minnesota home for several months involves more than locking the doors and setting the thermostat. Winter brings freezing temperatures, snow, and other conditions that can create challenges for an unoccupied home.
Heating system issues, plumbing leaks, power interruptions, and other unexpected concerns can develop while you are hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Without someone regularly checking on your property, a problem may go unnoticed for longer than it should.
That is where professional home watch comes in.
What Is Professional Home Watch?
At Snowbird Home Watch, we provide professional home checks for homeowners throughout North Oaks and the surrounding North Metro communities.
During regularly scheduled visits, our trained associates look for visible signs of potential concerns, check key areas of your home, and document their observations. Clients receive detailed reports with photos, so they can stay informed about their property no matter where they are spending the winter.
Our service provides more than someone with a key. It offers a consistent process, documented visits, and communication when something needs attention.
As an accredited member of the National Home Watch Association and a certified home watch reporter with the Home Watch Academy, Snowbird Home Watch is committed to professional standards and dependable service.
A Little Preparation Can Make a Big Difference
Before heading south, there are several things to consider when arranging care for your home:
Review your homeowners insurance. Understand your policy requirements for an unoccupied home, including any provisions related to regular visits.
Prepare your home for winter. Address heating, plumbing, and other seasonal maintenance needs before departure.
Coordinate seasonal services. Arrange snow removal and any other property maintenance you may need while away.
Establish a home watch schedule. Decide who will check on your home, how frequently visits will occur, and how you will receive updates.
Taking care of these details before you leave can help you feel more organized and confident as you begin your winter away.
Our Busiest Fall Yet: Limited Availability for New Clients
At Snowbird Home Watch, this has been our busiest fall yet, and we are grateful for the trust homeowners continue to place in us.
Because we intentionally maintain a limited client roster to provide attentive, high-quality service, we have only a limited number of openings remaining for new clients this season.
If you are planning to leave Minnesota for the winter, we encourage you to inquire soon. Getting in touch early gives us the opportunity to learn about your home, discuss your needs, and determine whether we are a good fit before your departure.
We serve homeowners throughout North Oaks and surrounding North Metro communities, including Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Arden Hills, and nearby areas.
Enjoy Your Time Away. We'll Keep an Eye on Home.
Your winter away should be about enjoying the sunshine, spending time with loved ones, and making the most of your time away from Minnesota. You deserve to feel confident that your home is receiving regular attention while you are gone.
