<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 235.5pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Major Storms and the Home Watch Advantage</strong> <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Home Watch advantage can be demonstrated in many ways
but when severe weather hits, our clients are given information and action as
needed no matter where the owner resides or are traveling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the months of May and June, Fernandina Beach and the
Amelia Island area had two severe tropical storms cause damage to homes.
Tropical storm Beryl hit with high winds and rain and tropical storm Debbie
stalled leaving over 18” of rain bringing power outages and flooding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At Home Watch Service Plus we are your eyes and ears as the
storm approaches, during the storm and then during the cleanup and repairing of
properties. This service is referred to as our “Pre-Storm and Post- Storm”
services. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As both Beryl and Debbie approached our area each client
received updates by phone and by email as to what was taking place and expected
during the storm. This communication allowed our clients to inform us how they
wanted their windows, doors, pools, outdoor furniture/BBQ , vehicles, boats and
other personal items taken care of. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">During the storm we monitor each home for electrical
outages, water and wind damage and other items as requested. Communication with
all clients take place using smart phones, emails and photos and take place
around the clock as the storm continues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At Home Watch Service Plus, we inspect each home checking
the primary concerns such as roofs and windows leaking water, tree damage to
homes and personal property, flooding, and electrical concerns with keeping
refrigerators running and food not spoiling. One client wrote back asking us to
check his refrigerator first as this happened years ago and they had chicken
spoil and it took months to get the smell out of the house. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">During Beryl and Debbie we experienced tripped electrical breakers,
doors missing, windows and roofs leaking, fences damaged, trees down and limbs
and debris on roofs and in yards and swimming pools. One garage was flooded and
turned personal property on the floor into a mildew nightmare. We worked with a
lot of minor damage that could have been major problems had they not been taken
care of promptly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Home watching is a service to monitor your home in your
absence. It is a form of house sitting but we do not reside in your home. We
check the home as often as you wish. Whether your home is a second home or you
travel and are away often, make sure you have a plan to assure it is taken care
of in your absence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>Home Watch Service Plushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17600064966691248739noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478987680917021370.post-45897678581294512232012-05-07T19:51:00.001-07:002012-05-07T19:55:50.341-07:00<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Retirement -
Will They be the Golden Years?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Recent retirement news indicates that three out of five
workers in the 50 to 60 age group are planning to work beyond the age of 65.
Why? Lack of retirement funds and health insurance. Working longer is a great
option if you work for a company that will support you beyond the age of 60.
With the current high unemployment rate and younger people being hired with current
training and technological skills, your chances of maintaining a high paying
position beyond the age of 60 is not very good. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As the baby boomers age, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>jobs for ages 60+ will become very competitive
and difficult to obtain. Is it too late to start a new career? Have you dreamed of owning your own business? If you start
from scratch with an unproven business plan your chances of failing in the
first year is over 50%. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is another option… franchising! The advantage of
franchising is to help small businesses make sure they are doing the right work
with less wrong experiences. In comparison to start-up businesses, franchises
have a 75% success ratio beyond 5 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Home Watch Service Plus is designed for all ages and appeals
to the 50+ age group. Our franchise prototype combines proven home services marketed
in a unique way allowing home owners a one-stop maintenance and monitoring service
package while allowing the franchise owner income far beyond the normal
retirement age. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Contact Home Watch Service Plus for a low cost, rewarding,
turn-key franchise opportunity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>Home Watch Service Plushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17600064966691248739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478987680917021370.post-45718930817337831242011-12-12T09:08:00.001-08:002012-01-18T20:52:15.955-08:00Home Sitting or Home Watching<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Home Watch</i> industry
is often mentioned as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">House Sitters</i> and
many advertising companies and individuals want to combine our efforts as being
part of the same industry. In reality, we are very different. In the following paragraphs
<a href="http://www.homewatchserviceplus.com/">Home Watch Service Plus</a> will explore the basic differences in services between <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Home Sitting/House Sitting</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Home Watching. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The primary objective of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Home
Watching</i> is to inspect the interior and exterior of homes weekly, bi-weekly
or by contracted dates as the owners are absent. <a href="http://www.homewatchserviceplus.com/">Home Watch Service Plus</a>
inspects for<i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal;"> issues with neighbors,
squatters, vandalism, water leaks, intrusion of animals/rodents, bugs/insects,
weather/wind damage, plumbing, electrical, air conditioning/heating,
mold/mildew and other issues. </span></i>While inspecting homes <a href="http://www.homewatchserviceplus.com/">HWS PLUS</a> also provides
scheduled maintenance programs, repair as needed, and become the client’s eyes
and ears for maintaining their homes. We find the problem, report to the
client, offer solutions, and repair. In short, we are “The Home Services
Management Team”. At <a href="http://www.homewatchserviceplus.com/">HWS PLUS</a> we treat our client’s home as if it were ours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a landlord (or "homeowner"), leaving their house for a period of
time, entrusts it to one or more "house sitters", who by a mutual </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract" title="Contract"><span lang="EN" style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">agreement</span></a><span lang="EN"> are entitled to
live there rent-free in exchange for assuming responsibilities such as taking
care of the homeowner's pets, performing general </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maintenance,_Repair_and_Operations" title="Maintenance, Repair and Operations"><span lang="EN" style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">maintenance</span></a><span lang="EN"> (including pools, lawns, air-conditioning systems, etc.),
