Our Service Includes:

Home Watch

Proxy’s #1 priority is keeping a vigilant watch over your home to anticipate, troubleshoot and solve any problem that might occur. Weekly home visits by your Personal Home Manager (PHM) help mitigate risks such as high winds, curious bears, deep freeze temperatures, high humidity, and potential vandalism. We will monitor the alarm, install remote monitoring devices (watching humidity and temperature levels), install and manage light timers, taking garbage bins out on the correct days, check that all windows & doors are locked, and much more. We look for dying trees that threaten your property, look for leaks in the roof and plumbing, and examine all systems to check and see of they are working properly. In addition, we’ll manage your mail, maintain your car, and coordinate deliveries. Proxy will prepare your home to be ready for use when you arrive, and our team will do procedures to put your home in “away mode” once you leave.  Our weekly, 1+ hour – 40 to 50-point home inspection includes an emailed report to you with photos to keep you up to date and worry free.

Maintenance and Repair

We will plan and coordinate all home and yard maintenance and repairs as needed. Beginning with a thorough site assessment, your Personal Home Manager (PHM) creates a comprehensive annual maintenance plan customized to your property. These tasks include housekeeping, regular landscaping work, HVAC system checks, pest control visits, gutter cleaning, window washing, winterizing, and much more. Proxy handles the integral, but time-intensive task of locating, vetting, and managing local subcontractors and overseeing maintenance from beginning to end and throughout the year. We leverage our 15 years of experience, the number of homes we watch, and multiple quotes to give you the very best value and quality.
