Serving Lake Gaston & Eastern NC
Trusted Eyes on Your Property.
You can’t be at your second home every week. We are, on a set schedule, with a photo report in your inbox after every visit and a local professional ready to respond the moment something’s wrong.
The Problem with Empty Houses
Nothing at Your Property Breaks Loudly
A gate sags a little more each week. A shingle lifts in one storm and lets water in during the next. A break-in on a quiet street goes unnoticed until somebody finally drives out.
By the time an empty house tells you something is wrong, the cheap fix is gone. And if a storm did the damage, an insurance claim without dated photos is your word against the weather.
Scheduled eyes on the property catch all of it early. That is the entire job of home watch.

How It Works
Protect. Report. Respond.
- 01
Protect
Your property is visited on a set schedule: quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly depending on your plan. Doors, windows, fence, gate, roof, drainage: every visit follows the same thorough checklist.
- 02
Report
After every visit, a clean, professional report lands in your inbox with photos. It answers the three questions every owner wants answered: Is it safe? Has anything changed? Do you need to act?
- 03
Respond
When something needs attention, whether it is a storm, a failed gate, or water where it shouldn't be, members get priority on-site response from a local professional, not a phone tree.
Know Your Options
Home Watch, a Property Manager, or a Helpful Neighbor?
All three can check on a house. They just answer to different people, and only one of them documents what they find.

Questions, Answered
What Owners Ask Us First
What Is a Home Watch Service?+
Home watch is a scheduled, documented visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues while the owner is away. It's different from property management: we don't collect rent or handle tenants. Our job is to catch changes early, like a failed gate, storm damage, or signs of water intrusion, then document them and make sure you know about them.
How Is Proctor's HomeWatch Different from a Property Manager?+
Property managers exist mainly to serve tenants and rental income. We exist to serve the property and its owner. We're proactive instead of reactive: scheduled visits, photo-documented reports after every visit, and a local professional ready to respond when something needs attention.
What Do I Get After Each Visit?+
A detailed digital inspection report with photos, answering three questions: Is the property safe? Has anything changed? Do you need to act? It arrives by email after every visit.
What Happens If You Find a Problem?+
You'll know about it the same day, with photos. If it needs immediate attention, members receive priority on-site response. If permanent repairs can't be completed right away, we secure the property and help coordinate next steps.
Which Areas Do You Serve?+
We serve Eastern North Carolina and Southern Virginia, focusing on the Lake Gaston area, the Crystal Coast, the Raleigh-to-Kinston corridor, and nearby communities.
How Much Does It Cost?+
Memberships start at $39/month for quarterly inspections (Essential Care), $79/month for bi-monthly (Priority Care), and $149/month for monthly inspections with our full service list (Guardian Care). Annual pricing saves roughly two months.
