About this provider

Peace of mind while you’re away.
Seattle Area HomeWatch Services LLC was founded in 2020 by Chris Byler after years in Seattle real estate revealed a gap: clients needed a reliable, accountable partner to keep an eye on their homes during travel, extended work assignments, and seasonal stays. We built a service around trust, clear communication, and photo-documented visits—so small issues don’t become costly problems.

Our story

After working with primary and second-home owners across the greater Seattle area, we often heard the same question: “Who can watch our home when we’re gone?” Without a dependable referral option, we created one. Today, Seattle Area HomeWatch serves homeowners throughout North King and South Snohomish counties with customized, checklist-based visits and fast, transparent follow-up.

What we do (in a nutshell)
provide interior and exterior “eyes on” checks tailored to your home and HOA
send written reports with checklists and timestamped photos after every visit
flag anything that needs attention and coordinate next steps as requested
offer helpful add-ons like mail/package management and contractor access
What clients appreciate
communication: prompt replies and proactive updates
thoroughness: detailed reports, clear checklists, and photos every time
flexibility: custom plans for condos, townhomes, and single-family homes
problem-solving: coordination with HOAs, vendors, and simple on-site tasks
Not a home inspection—by design

We are not licensed home inspectors. Home watch is a preventive, between-visits service: a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues. When something needs a specialist, we’ll let you know right away and help coordinate next steps.
