Learn about our home watch services
When you're away, we're here for your home.
Carmel Coast Estate, Inc. provides home watch services and property management for world travelers, cottage owners, homes for sale, and absentee homeowners in the Monterey Bay Region.
More and more, people are away from their home due to business obligations, vacations, or other personal matters. Since absentee homeowners aren't easily available to handle emergencies, attend the overseeing of repairs, or perform basic errands, caring for a home can be a challenge. As well, most insurance companies require that someone check on a property at specific times, which can be a burden for absentee homeowners.
