Home Watch is a professional visual inspection of your property while you’re away, designed to catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Lightkeeper Home Watch provides scheduled property checks, storm inspections, and maintenance coordination for second homeowners and snowbirds along the South Jersey Shore — including Margate, Ventnor, Longport, and Ocean City, NJ.

When you’re away, we make sure your home stays safe, secure, and well cared for — so your time at the Shore is about relaxing, not managing a to-do list.

oastal homes face unique challenges — and even a few weeks without eyes on the property can cause costly surprises. We often catch issues like:

• Leaks, plumbing failures, or HVAC malfunctions

• Mold or humidity buildup

• Pest or rodent activity

• Storm or wind damage

• Power outages or tripped breakers

• Unauthorized entry or vandalism

A single undetected problem can lead to thousands in damage. Lightkeeper’s consistent inspections ensure your home is protected year-round, no matter where you are.

Lightkeeper isn’t a checklist service — it’s a trusted partnership built on care, communication, and coastal expertise.

Here’s what makes us different:

• Local Knowledge: Founded by Grace, a longtime real estate professional with deep ties to the Margate and Ventnor communities.

• Reliability You Can Trust: We treat every home as if it were our own — with integrity, attention to detail, and consistency.

• Transparency: You’ll receive detailed digital reports after every visit, complete with photos.

• Trusted Network: We work only with vetted local contractors and service providers.

Our mission is simple: keep your home secure and your peace of mind shining bright.

Most clients choose weekly inspections, especially during extended absences or hurricane season. However, we’re happy to customize a schedule — whether that’s biweekly, monthly, or on-demand for special circumstances.

We’ll help you choose the best plan for your property and how much time you plan to spend here at the Shore.
