Everyone knows the feeling of leaving the lake after a long weekend only to realize you forgot to do something crucial to close your home. Luckily, for homeowners with a home watch service, problems can be solved with the push of a button. If your current home watch company isn't doing these three things for you, you may want to starting looking elsewhere.

Fast Response & Follow Through
It doesn't matter if you forgot to shut the water off, clean out the fridge, or left a window open, it's never fun spending extra time and money going back and forth to take care of it all. Fortunately, technology has come a long way in solving much of that. A good home watch provider will provide you with options for handling what falls through the cracks.
More importantly, a great home watch company gives you multiple ways to contact them and includes options for scheduling online. For instance, Riggs Request clients create their own profiles, schedule home watch visits online, and communicate directly with the company's owners through phone, email, text and social media (and we're very responsive!).
If it's urgent, you don't want to be waiting around for a call back on the status. A great home watch company like Riggs Request provides real time updates and tells you exactly when they will be be on site.
Detailed Communication and Reporting
Worse than the feeling of leaving a window open, is knowing you have to leave your lake home with important problems and projects unresolved. From leaky pipes to questionable boat lifts, sometimes that means hiring experts to handle in your absence. But when you're hours away and cannot manage first hand, it's easy for important details to get lost in the mix.
A great home watch company should be communicating with you in a detailed and timely manner - providing you with more answers than questions. Home Watch services by Riggs Request take this a step further for homeowners in Lake of the Ozarks. Clients receive detailed reporting with timestamps, photos and more information to paint a full picture of the status of their unoccupied homes.
Riggs Request begins by using a 45-point checklist and we customize every report to the intricacies of your lake home. You will receive a comprehensive report and photos after every visit, highlighting all recommendations and any areas that may turn into potential issues in the future.
