What Our Trusted Vendor Network Means for You as a Home Watch Client

August 12, 2025

'}}

It’s essential to know your home is in good hands when you’re away from home for an extended period for a season, job assignment or vacation. That’s where a professional Home Watch service comes in to offer regular check-ins, quick response to issues and a sense of security. Exceptional Home Watch service is also about having the right people in place to take action when something needs attention. Our level of preparedness and responsiveness, along with our trusted vendor network, are some of the most valuable benefits we provide to our clients. Here’s what that means to you:

Immediate Access to Trusted Vendor Professionals

From electricians and plumbers to roofers and HVAC technicians, our vendor network is filled with reliable, licensed and insured professionals we’ve personally vetted. We’ve worked with these companies on our clients’ homes—and even our own homes—and we trust them to deliver quality work on time and on budget.

If we discover something that needs attention on your home, or you have scheduled maintenance you need to have done in your absence, there’s no need for you to search online, make calls or read through endless reviews. We know exactly who to contact and can get them out to your property quickly. And because our vendors know us and how we operate, they’re often quicker to respond and easier to schedule.

“We’ve seen a lot over the years. We’ve dealt with burst pipes, fallen trees, broken appliances, and everything in between. Having a network of dependable vendors makes those situations manageable—and sometimes even preventable,” explains Dan Lender, owner of Golden Rule Home Watch & Concierge.

Quality Work Without the Stress

Having a trusted vendor team on your side means you can feel confident knowing any repairs or maintenance are handled professionally, even if you’re away. We don’t just hand off your job and walk away. We coordinate with the vendor, stay in touch throughout the process or stay on site with the vendor, depending upon the project, and keep you informed with updates and photos.

We select our vendor partners not just for their skills but for their communication, reliability and professionalism. If we wouldn’t trust them with our own homes, we wouldn’t recommend them for yours. In addition, we can even work with your own trusted vendors, if you desire.

Exclusive Perks and Priority Scheduling

Other benefits of our vendor relationships are priority scheduling, flexible appointment windows or even loyalty discounts not available to the general public. That’s because we bring repeat business to our vendor partners and they value our ongoing relationships.

Working with a Home Watch professional also makes it easier for our vendors to schedule and complete work without waiting for a homeowner to arrive home or communicate long distance. And because we’re overseeing the process and using our knowledge of home maintenance, there’s less risk of miscommunication or missed details.

At the end of the day, our trusted vendor network is just one more way we make your relationship with us easier, safer and more convenient—whether you’re gone for a week, a season or the entire year.

“Many of our clients are away for months at a time, and the idea of something going wrong without a trusted local contact can be worrisome,” Lender says. “Our vendor relationships eliminate that stress. You know someone you trust is handling everything—from the first phone call to the final follow-up.”

At Golden Rule Home Watch & Concierge, we built our service around one simple principle: treat every home as if it were our own. That commitment extends beyond regular inspections to include being ready to respond when something needs attention.
