 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a realtor and my client hired them, as they were moving out of state. They were so helpful and communicative, and really came to the rescue on a couple of occasions when we needed them during unpredictable events. This home was 30 min from my office, so it was great to have additional support. I plan to spread the word to my realtor buds!! Thanks, Joy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had to be away from our home for several months this year and hired STL Home Watch Services to keep an eye on our house while we were gone. They did a great job. We didn't have much notice before our departure, but we were able to quickly set up an agreement for what we wanted them to do with a frequency that worked for us. They did exactly what they said they'd do. They called or texted when they were at our house if they had questions or concerns, handled some un-forwarded mail for us, and produced really comprehensive reports each time they visited, so that we could see if anything needed extra attention. It was really nice to know that they were at the ready if there were some kind of emergency or something we needed done. We will definitely use them again when we have need.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used STL Home Watch Services to monitor our home and maintain our 2 cars while we were out of the country from January - May 2020.  Joy and her team were terrific.  During our 5 months away, there were several potential issues, which Joy quickly communicated to us and took responsibility to resolve the issues.  The inspection reports are very detailed, and include photos, if necessary.  Plus, she is a very nice person, offering to help my mother during the stay-at-home orders.  We plan on leaving the country again for 5 months in January 2021 and will definitely use STL Home Watch again!
