11th-Year

Accredited Member

I am happy to announce that Secure Coast Home Watch of Clearwater, Florida, has earned accreditation from the NHWA for the 11th consecutive year.

Victoria Hill is a native Floridian. She met her husband, John, a hockey player and firefighter from Toronto, and they began a life together in Canada after marrying in 1992. They became absentee homeowners when Victoria left her home in Largo, Florida, to move to Canada. Their Florida home was empty most of the time, and they experienced all the issues that go along with being long-distance homeowners: malfunctions, infestations, and mold. Being 1,500 miles away, arranging for maintenance and other services was almost impossible; it became obvious that they needed an advocate.

After retiring from 32 years as a firefighter, John, Victoria, and their two daughters relocated to Clearwater. Having experienced the issues that most absentee homeowners face and knowing the type of help they needed while in Canada, performing Home Watch was a foregone conclusion. John and Victoria would be advocates for people just like themselves. Because John had investigated fires and had to make snap, life-or-death decisions, and since Victoria dealt with her physiotherapy patients and their confidentiality daily, theirs would be a unique take on Home Watch.

John and Victoria are active members of the NHWA. They attended their first conference to meet people and gather as much information as possible before they began operating. John has earned the designation of Certified Home Watch Professional (CHWP) from the NHWA, making him one of the elite Home Watch providers in the industry. This designation demonstrates John’s commitment to delivering exceptional service to his clients. He is also one of our Home Watch Boot Camp instructors.

Secure Coast Home Watch serves Pinellas County, including Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Largo, Madeira Beach, Palm Harbor, Redington Beach, Safety Harbor, Sand Key Beach, and Seminole. You can reach John and Victoria at (727) 455-4171 or at SecureCoastHomeWatch@gmail.com. Learn more from their website, at www.SecureCoastHomeWatch.com.

Congratulations, John and Victoria!
