House Sitting

To Realtors of Empty Home Listings and Builder Spec Homes:

It's the season of sitting. For houses that is.

Once Labor Day and the start of public school sessions have started, and prior to the holiday season, houses for sale typically sit on the market because people are too busy to shop for a new home. There are the occasional lookers, however, and so the house for sale must be kept air conditioned or heated, the lawn mowed, and the house dusted and appealing.

So instead of managing these details yourself, how about having a reliable, referenced house sitter pay the electricity bill, mow the lawn, and keep the home warm and inviting? It will pay off to have a resident, as a lived in home is much more attractive than a cold, empty space. With the capacity to move in and out quickly, this should be an excellent solution to those homeowners who are getting eaten alive by monthly second home bills.

Please comment or email me if you're interested in finding a trustworthy tenant in the Spicewood or Marble Falls area.
