Happy Home Watch & Services has earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association for the third year.
Happy Home Watch & Services serves Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills.
The NHWA was formed in 2009 in order to establish and maintain the highest industry standards for Home Watch and absentee homeowner services throughout the United States and Canada, according to a press release. Home Watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues, which means that it’s a service that “keeps an eye on things” while you are not in residence.
Owner Brandy Zedlar understands the headaches, worry and stress that can come from unforeseen problems at a homeowner’s number one investment. All principals of NHWA Accredited Member companies are background checked, insured and bonded.
An Arizona native, Zedlar grew up in Phoenix, showing and training quarter horses. As she moved on from her equestrian lifestyle, Zedlar worked for the city of Lake Havasu as a permit technician, guiding homeowners through the planning and building permit processes, the release stated.
That’s when Zedlar realized her calling for helping homeowners. She later moved and continued her career with the city of Tempe as a code compliance inspector. Zedlar’s focus in Tempe was residential and rental housing inspections. Her goal was to provide customer service to property owners while assisting them in bringing their property into compliance.
After 23 years in government, Zedlar decided it was time to take her calling to the next level by launching Happy Home Watch & Services. With her broad knowledge of residential inspections, construction and her passion for helping homeowners, she knew that Happy Home Watch & Services would be a perfect fit, offering a valued service needed throughout the Scottsdale and Fountain Hills areas, the release stated.
Her mission is to bring peace of mind to absentee homeownership — one home check, one conversation, one smile at a time.
Zedlar is a graduate of the NHWA’s Home Watch Boot Camp and has earned the designation of Certified Home Watch Professional, which places her among the elite Home Watch providers in the industry.
