As property manager, I have managed properties and re-mediated properties overrun by mold due to a leak that lasted only a couple of days,  watched as wood floors buckled from humidity and has witnessed electrical panels that have melted within a matter of days.

​

However, the most shocking lesson in my career was the incredible realization of squatters.

Squatters are people (even families)who upon break into your home while you are away or in your summer / winter home, move in and change the power and water over to their names and are then given more rights to stay in your home than you, the property owner. 

​

 

I learned very quickly what a "squatter" was while managing 25 properties purchased by a group of investors.  Shocked at the system I did my best to help the owners. My colleagues coined me a 'Squatter Hunter" because I had a knack for coaxing squatters from the properties they were squatting in, saving the homeowners and investors a tremendous amount of time and money.  I've realized many squatters make a life out of this and came across more than one instance of the same person in different Real Estate offices squatting from home to home.  

​

Watchdog properties is a small company that helps several homeowners and a small management company keep tabs on their properties so this cannot happen. It does not matter what neighborhood you live in. Private estates, golf communities or low income areas, no one, not one single investor, bank, association, homeowner or landlord is safe from damage due to weather, leaks, electrical issues or squatters. The fees and damage can end up being anywhere from $1,000-$30,000 or even more, depending on the price and value of your attorney and/or upgrades in your home. Needless to say, it can be devastating. 

​

Hiring someone like Watchdog Property Services with our smaller concierge approach is more personal and affordable than hiring a large and expensive property management company.
