Who Checks on Empty Houses — And What It Costs
Episode 5178
Published 1 month ago
Description
When a house sits empty for months, someone has to run the faucets, flush the toilets, and photograph the water heater — not as a favor, but as a paid, scheduled service. This episode unpacks the professional home watch industry: what a visit actually entails, why the checklist is longer than anyone expects, and how a written report with photos becomes the real product. It also digs into the business model — near-zero capital to start, a trade association that accredits operators, and a structural trust problem baked into the work, since the customer is absent by definition and can't supervise what they're paying for. If you've ever wondered who's watching the houses nobody's living in, this is the episode.
