We bought our home in Palm Springs four years ago and needed someone to take care of it during the six months that we are not here. We found Michael on a recommendation from our realtor. And, boy, are we glad that we did. His house watch services are thorough, professional and reasonable. His attention to detail has averted several potential problems like leaks on the sprinkler system, AC repairs, etc. He oversaw the repairs, met the repair people on site and made sure everything was done correctly. AND Michael is a gifted designer and project manager. He designed a gorgeous new master bath and kitchen for us, found contractors, and oversaw the work, all in our absence. We trust him to act for us in all matters concerning our property. Finally, he is personable, friendly and genuinely concerned with our welfare and with providing the best service possible. We rely on him and highly recommend him. read more

We have used Michael's services for the past four years and there is no one else we would feel comfortable entrusting our home to. Like clock work he comes in twice a month, surveys the property inside and out, sends us pictures of our home and reassures us that all is well on the Homefront. Each summer while we are away, we have had work done to our place (installation of fans, lights, etc.). Michael is great about letting us know how the work is coming along and the condition of our place after the contractors leave. He is great about checking everything - even the mailbox. Last year, he let us know that our mailbox had been hit by a car and needed to be replaced by our HOA. Michael keeps our place safe and provides us with peace of mind while we are away. He is the "Go To Guy" for anything involving your home/property. read more

Michael has watched over our home for several summers, stopping by regularly to open the gates for the pool cleaner and gardener, thoroughly checking all the systems within the home and going around the property to make sure the garden is being well-tended, since our gardener constantly needs to be supervised. He was one of the best referrals (from our Realtor, Geoff Moore) we have ever received. We get weekly updates and photos via email, which is particularly important as we are in Europe for months during the summer. He is very responsive and reliable. When we return we're always grateful to find our home and garden in great shape. Our 2020 trip is probably not going to happen because of the pandemic, but if we do manage to get away, we will definitely ask Michael to take care of our home again. read more

Michael has been watching our home for almost five years. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that our home is being looked after when we're not there, and that's the highest compliment I can give. After every visit we receive a report and pictures. During his house visits he has taken care of having the few minor issues he has found repaired or serviced before they become larger problems, which is so important if you are absent from your house for any length of time. Michael is also a very good source of identifying contractors for various projects. If need be he will also clean the house after you leave or before your arrival. We are so pleased that he watches our home and can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Michael is diligent and does everything he commits to doing. We had him watch our condo for 5 months while we went to our summer residence .
