Special Problems of Unoccupied Properties All Too Real

It’s nice to believe that when you close on the purchase of a vacation home in coastal Delaware, you can look forward to years of a safe investment plus family fun and precious memories.

Unfortunately, absentee ownership also comes with unavoidable headaches. Some are unique to the beach where severe winds, salt air, sub-zero temperatures and occasional tidal flooding are common; others are true of unoccupied property anywhere. Welcome Home offers you the joy of owning a vacation home without the worries. Here is a list of a few actual issues our service discovered and thwarted before major damage or theft occurred.

  • Exterior door leading to the home’s interior found wide open
  • Roof leaked into an interior ceiling and wall
  • Exterior shower pipes not winterized
  • Unlocked windows discovered
  • Flood vent found inoperable
  • Roof shingles missing after storm
  • Mold on HVAC ceiling vent discovered
  • Exterior flower box damaged from vandalism – police alerted
  • Heat mistakenly left off in mechanical room

Testimonials

Welcome Home is the best investment we could make for our vacation home. We wish we could have this service at our permanent home too!

We jokingly call Stephen,Saint Stephen because he’s always happy and capable in every situation, from arranging and meeting service persons, to mitigation for HVAC issues to adding fresh flowers to welcome our guests. No job is too big or small and it’s always done with a smile.

The parent company, Anchor Enterprises, has done an exemplary job in remodeling our home too! Cannot say enough good things about Welcome Home. -Andrea
