How to fine-tune your home watch rates
- Price the liability, not just the minutes. A $2M waterfront home carries more risk per visit than a condo — your rate should reflect it.
- Route density is profit. Ten homes in one community at $35 beat six scattered homes at $45. Discount slightly to own a neighborhood.
- Charge separately for concierge work. Storm prep, vendor waits, and package runs are add-ons, never freebies.
- Raise rates with proof. GPS-verified, photo-rich reports justify premium pricing — owners can see exactly what they pay for. That's what the Home Watcher app produces on every visit.
