Scottsdale-based Advanced Home Watch Services has earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association for the fourth year.

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 is a service that “keeps an eye on things” at a vacation or primary home while no one is in residence. All principals of National Home Watch Association Accredited Member companies are background-checked, insured, and bonded.

Advanced Home Watch Services serves Phoenix, Rio Verde, Scottsdale, Carefree, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek, Sun City, Fountain Hills, Peoria, and Mongollon Rim.
