24/7 Protection with Key Holder Service
Do you give your house key to a neighbor, friend, or relative to access your home when you're away?
What if the person you trust is ill, or out of town at the exact same time you are? Also, do you expect that person to be available 24/7? What if a storm comes through unexpectedly when you are away? Holding someone else’s house key can be an enormous responsibility.
Key Holder Service is perfect when you are looking for a low-cost option to allow access to and check your home on an “as needed” basis.
How "24/7 Key Holder Service" Works:
Berkshire Home Watch will hold on to a copy of your house key and when needed (and per your instructions), go to your property to grant access or check your home. It is as simple as that!
Additionally, Key Holder Service is designed for any homeowner whether you are a busy professional, frequent traveler, or just away on vacation or holiday.
Key Holder Service examples include:
- Meet and grant access to contractors or repair technicians. We can also stay and oversee the work then lock up when the work is finished.
- Wait for and grant vendor access (cable installers, exterminator etc.). It may not be feasible for you to take time off work, or be away from the office.
- Accept important deliveries to your home in your absence (from Amazon, eBay etc.). A great solution to thwart Porch Pirates!
- Be an important point of contact with 24/7 response to security alarms at your request.
- Lock out assistance is perfect when you are looking for a low-cost option to allow access to and check your home on an “as needed” basis.
- A detailed report will be emailed to you after each visit to your home with details of what was done and when.
- Check your home after a storm, or power outage.
