Allied Home Watch earns tenth-year accreditation from the NHWA

10/21/2024

Allied Home Watch has earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association for the tenth 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 (www.nationalhomewatchassociation.org/). 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 your vacation or primary home while you are not in residence. All principals of NHWA Accredited Member companies are background-checked, insured, and bonded.

Owners Jason and Melissa McGarvey have been on both sides of the Home Watch relationship. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, they owned property in Southwest Florida for a decade before moving here full-time. They learned from experience just how crucial having a professional Home Watch company was. So, when they moved to Southwest Florida on a full-time basis, Jason and Melissa knew what they wanted to do.

Jason comes from the construction industry, with over 16 years of experience as a project manager, which required both new and existing construction knowledge. Melissa has been self-employed since 2004, building a variety of customer-centric service businesses. Jason and Melissa also have years of rental property ownership/management experience. Combined with their passion for the Southwest Florida area, the Home Watch profession stood out as a great fit. So, they started Allied Home Watch and immediately joined the NHWA.

Both Jason and Melissa have earned the designation of Certified Home Watch Professional (CHWP) from the NHWA, making them two of the elite Home Watch providers in the industry. The CHWP designation shows their commitment to providing excellent service to their clients. Jason is an instructor for the NHWA’s Home Watch Boot Camp training. He also received the Visionary Award from the NHWA at the 2024 North American Conference in April.
