Birchwood Property Management HomeWatch & CondoWatch Program

Protecting your home in Northern Michigan

Both financially and emotionally, your vacation home is one of the largest investments you may ever make. Birchwood Property Management, an affiliate of Holiday Vacation Rentals, can care for your home while you are away. Our HomeWatch service features weekly or biweekly inspections based on your preferences. You can be assured that while you are away, Birchwood Property Management will be your eyes and ears looking after your home. We inspect the interior and exterior of the home and report any signs of trouble. Just some of the areas we monitor include:

We will examine the inside and monitor: 

• Heat and room temperatures
• Furnace operations
• Water heater operation
• Signs of pest damage
• Security breaches—we check all doors and windows to make sure they are secure and operating properly.
• Test internal monitoring systems where installed

On the exterior of the home we will:

• Look for signs of pest damage and security breaches
• Report to you potential winter snow load concerns
• Make additional inspections after major storms
• Check exterior lighting
• Inspect for damages to grounds (fallen trees and broken limbs)

For those that wish, we will also run dishwashers, washing machines, flush toilets, start vehicles, or remove snow from driveways, walkways, and decks as needed. We also offer 24/7 electronic monitors that alert our on-call staff to power interruptions and temperature in your home.

Our staff is experienced in maintaining and managing properties. We know what can happen to a home in Northern Michigan during harsh winter months and have the expertise to respond, preventing or minimizing potential damage. Our experience and attention to detail will give you peace of mind, knowing that your home is cared for.
