Mickey Homes Home Watch Service
It's a simple service for 2nd homeowners near Disney
We’ve been offering this home watch service since 2009 and we’ve haven’t lost a home yet. In fact, we’ve saved our homeowners 3-10 times our annual charge in preventative maintenance.
$60 monthly
We have not raised our price since we started because of the amount of 2nd homes we look after in 1 specific area we service. We are hands on, personal and most importantly, we never sub-contract our services out!
Serving West Kissimmee, South Clermont and all of Davenport Florida
We'll walk your home every 5-9 Days, flush the toilets and run water in all interior receptacles every other visit to prevent dry-drain that harms plumbing.
We take a random picture every visit
1) We walk your home every 5 - 9 Days

Florida has tropical weather that passes through now and then and sometimes unexpectedly. Because it is Central Florida and not the Coast it doesn’t get as nearly drastic as what is seen on your local news back home. ADT won’t pick up those branches or bring in loose outdoor items that can cause damage. We will at no extra cost!
2)Take a random pic every visit
$60 Monthly
We take a random picture every visit, email it to you with a short memo the same Day, most of the time it’s the same old boring sentence “Everything was fine at the house today” But if we see something that should be addressed, we’ll take a pic of it, suggest a solution and a trusted contractor who can correct it. If it is urgent, we will call you immediately.
3) Pre & Post storm check

Florida does have hurricanes that pass through, but it’s the coastal areas that get hit hard, sometimes it makes it’s way into Central Florida with strong winds but nothing nearly as strong as what makes the news. They can be strong enough to move loose objects outside of the home or knock down tree branches. We pre-check our homes before they hit, bring in items and post-check after they pass at no extra cost.
Did I? I'm sure I did, I must have?
Remember, a good neighbor in the old days (before cell phones and internet) helped when you ask them to? Yes, things have changed but we are here to fill that void.
4) We surrounded ourselves with good people
1 Price
If your A/C coils need to be cleaned, or if the roof needs to be repaired or replaced, the pool heater needs repair, the dishwasher isn’t working correctly, you want a room painted, the wife wants a good hairdresser or even advice for a good Italian Restaurant. We’ve been here since 2003, hired a lot of good service people, fired quite a few for various reasons and have a few favorite restaurants we like, so we know stuff we’ll pass on.
5)(DIY) WILL Never buy tools again
$60 Monthly
For you do it yourselfers who are capable and enjoy doing small home projects. We have a tool truck full of tools for our 2nd homeowners to use whenever they are in town. We wrapped the truck with our real estate info so we get noticed in front of our client’s home, so we are more than thrilled to drop the truck off in front of your home to use our tools at your own pace while giving us some free advertising in your neighborhood. You may not think it’s a big deal until you get a quote from a contractor for a small job or big job you know you could do yourself.
6) You're going to sell it some day
1% off our sales commission
Yes, we are offering this affordable service not only to be your 3rd eye when you are away but to build a relationship of trust with you so we have the 1st chance to be your Realtors of choice when it comes time to sell your 2nd home near Disney. If you’ve wandered through this website, you’ve seen our testimonials so you must know we have the real estate sales experience and what we bring to your side of the closing table. This home watch service was created because so many of the homes we sold to our clients said it was needed, plus Alan is not a person who can sit behind his desk all Day without driving Jane crazy.
Little problems become big if not addressed early.
Only $60 Monthly

….ADT flush your toilets periodically, run the water in all receptacles, bring in packages from your front porch, ask your annoying neighbors to stop parking in your drive, bring in patio furniture and lose items from outside if a severe storm or hurricane passes through, ship the phone or necessities to you that you left behind in a hurry, meet a contractor to have some work done or to get an estimate, clear out your mailbox of junk mail before it over-flows, adjust your thermostat to a smart temperature for the time of year, make sure your service providers are doing their job, take a picture of a concerning small problem early before it becomes a big problem, suggest fixes, recommend the right fixers and email you a short human note saying “everything was okay” with a random picture of somewhere inside or outside of your home getting you excited, knowing you won’t have any unpleasant surprises for your next Disney vacation?
We think not!
It's a Practical Home Watch Service
for a Practical Price
Area density that has the highest # of 2nd homes in Central Florida is why we’ve never raised our prices since 2009
Experience
We've been selling vacation 2nd homes since 2004 and we were constantly asked if we knew of anyone who could check on their house when away? We knew that a # of property management companies doing it but found they charged 3 times what it was worth for a simple service so we started service in 2009.
Better than cameras or alarms
Sure you could hire ADT or have 100 cameras installed. Pros are not intimidated by cameras, what is better, preventing a break in or watching it happen? We make your home look active, Pros move fast, ADT's alarm to police may be fast but how fast will the police respond? ADT won't physically check on your house after you leave to toss the food you mistakenly left on the kitchen counter or unlock the pool door for the pool guy or adjust the thermostat, so your A/C unit doesn't freeze up because you were in a hurry to catch your plane. Travel is hectic, we are all human and things get missed occasionally when we're in a hurry. No worries with us!
Preventative
Our method of home protection is a preventative, it works to protect your home from wrong doers by making it look active, curing common home aging elements early before they get costly while being your eyes at the house after mother nature had a hissy fit.
We Pay no franchise fees, no commissions to Angies List and why we've never had to raise our rates.
Our service is a simple service, we get new homeowners through our website, sometimes social media, sometimes other 2nd homeowners who see our tool truck sitting in front of our clients home but mostly from word of mouth from current 2nd homeowners who are happy with what we do. If you could eliminate the sky-rocketing cost of marketing your product or service for the public to see, prices would drop dramatically. And that's what we have done, it didn't happen overnight, but we have succeeded to offer a simple service for a simple price while still being able to make a dime. Please read our testimonials to see who we are, you'll trust with your home as well.
